________________ Questioner: How can one develop the understanding of the correct and the wrong? Dadashri: Until deceit leaves one cannot get this understanding. When one 'fits--absorbs all that I speak then he is established on the right path. Once this happens, we know that he will reach the goal. Questioner: What are the signs of a person who is established on the path—main line? Dadashri: Deceit should go away. Questioner: Please explain more about this deceit kapat?

You should totally rest on the samyak—the right vision and understanding that I have given you. Read where the pointer of the samyak is pointing in the path. Your sincerity stops
