________________ without company asang.Here 'we' have given you the absolute values. You have become a Shuddhatma when Dada gave you the state of Shuddhatma. Otherwise, there was nothing there, not even a penny's worth. Win in this the world by losing After Gnan You have the constant meditation dhyan of Shuddhatma, the Self. So every evening You should ask within, 'Are you Chandulal or Shuddhatma? Then the reply, 'Shuddhatma', means that meditation dhyan of Shuddhatma was there the entire day.

You have to say that to Chandulal. Questioner: I do not like it when someone calls me mad or senseless. Dadashri: You cannot have the best of both worlds; you can have one or the other.

One wants to enjoy these transient worldly pleasures and this bliss of the Self too, and that is not possible. If someone comes to defeat you in the world then you should allow yourself to be defeated and sit down
