________________ Therefore, here you have to become wise. You have to have param vinay, which means that you do not have to speak unnecessarily. Speak only when it is necessary. Do not try to show your wisdom or your cleverness here. All your cleverness is imitation; it is not original. Meaning you have learnt from others, you have learnt from books. And when one goes into a heavy argumentary tone and opposition chadasey, one does not revert. Don't you even recognize that you are going off on the wrong track, by doing this? To engage in suchconfrontational arguments chadasey chadhavoon is to leave one's own place and fall all the way down.g track; it is to lose your own place and to regress. Questioner: You caution us right away before we fall. Dadashri: I am telling you the same thing right now also. But I cannot caution everyone; I can only tell certain people. With others, I have to let things be. They have not attained the energy—shakti yet; if I were to say anything, the poor fellow would go away from here. I only caution those who have understood what is harmful and what is beneficial to them. So I will only caution people once they become strong. I will not say it to everyone. Otherwise, they will leave right away; they will say 'I'm leaving. I have a home. I have a family. I am not desperate for anything. So why should I stay?' they will say. “Yes, agreed you are married, you have everything. You are fine as you are, but if you wander away from this 'station', you will never encounter it again, even after a hundred thousand lifetimes.' This way I have to pamper them like children and make them sit. I even have to give them candies! I ask you this, who has taken this Gnan with an understanding of their own? I have had to coax and entice everyone, 'come here! Come see!' I have had to sweet-talk everyone in order to give them Gnan. Insistence & Persistence of Insistence In the worldly interaction, when someone is talking about anything, to hold within, 'Mine is correct, what I have taken up is true,' remains within a human being. If that state continues after having received this Gnan then the Lord says that this is ego ahamkar. That ego will have to be rid of.
