know anything; they have to sit around idle. What can the one who does not know anything, do?
The Lord has said that whatever knowledge of knowing what to do, one has, is on the basis of the ego. The one who does not know what to do, does not have the ego, does he? If the ego is there, then he will know what to do for sure. Yet people have an illusion that Dada knows everything! But what does 'He' know? He does not know anything.
I know only 'this'. 'T' know only about 'the Self'. 'l' know that the Self is the knower- seer gnatadrashta. 'I can see whatever the Self 'sees', but I do not know anything else. I would know only if I' had the ego ahamkar. The ego has been absolutely uprooted. It has no root left whatsoever. There is no trace or sign of where it was. All its rootlets are gone.

This must be the sadhana spiritual endeavor of countless previous lives, that bore this fruit so abruptly. Otherwise, I have not learnt anything from this current life at all. I have not seen any proficiency in any man. I have seen any human being as a doer at all.
If a shoemaker is not proficient in his trade, he will continue making shoes but at the end of the year, he will have incurred nothing but a loss. This is how people in this time cycle, are. They incur nothing but a loss. Those who misuse the intellect incur more losses than profits. They ruin all the leather. They will make the shoes but they will also waste leather worth five hundred pairs. Where is the profit in that? They will put in the effort but incur unnecessary loss as well. This is the story of the worldly people. They work and struggle hard in their pursuits of worldly profits but in the end they have lost, because they have not gained even a glimpse of the Self. And so the bottom line in their business (life) is a loss. Karmas dictate worldly gains or losses, so what is one going to earn of his own accord? All their earnings are because of the punyai karma. But all these 'sacks of intelligence' just wear away their shoes running here and there in their struggle.
So why not just go about your business with the approach of 'I don't know anything'. Just come down to a zero, cross out everything and start a new. Begin with new values. What value is this? Our value of Shuddhatma is for sure and unbeaten. The Self is unaffected nirleyp and
