Questioner: What is the vision-drashti of the one who is walking on the path of liberation-mokshamarg? What is his uninterrupted understanding?
Dadashri: It is not easily graspable just by words. When one's deceitful bhaav deepest inner intent is shed, and one can only shed what is known to him within. Otherwise, apart from this there remains a lot within of which the owner is totally oblivious. What is kapatbhaav deceitful intent? If the owner is aware of its existence then he would have gotten rid of it a long time ago. Therefore, beware, beware, beware!
If you listen to any talk about anyone else, it ruins your brain. On top of that when you hear talk about our own self from someone else, that talk becomes sweet to you. This disease exists in everyone to some extent or the other. Some people have less inclination for such sweetness. When one is served such spicy information secretly, one does slip into listening and taking an interest in it. His wish is fulfilled, no? He heard and brought it here! Now this person who has brought the news, he would not know the dangerous consequences of what he has just done. He is simply absorbed in the pleasure of it. Sooner or later one will have to understand and come to terms with all this, no? And what will the middle man do? If he distorts it, will it not cause great harm all around? The mind would become upset, conflicts will be given fuel leading to further rifts which continues to harm you constantly. Rather than this, what if one simply rejects this system of listening in? Would it not be good to uproot it totally? No such business and no such item for trading. Is that not good?
Husband will inquire, 'what was the wife saying?' And the wife will inquire, 'what was my husband saying? Why on earth do you want to know all this? He or she is at fault that verily is the reason, no? Will he or she have any desire to know anything if they were faultless?
Why such spruha inclination, interest for this? This is the greatest food for the worldly people. This is called 'holiday' (dadashri's term for languishing in meaningless and harmful pleasures)! One must not have such a habit here on the path of liberation.
Questioner: But Dada, what should one do when one has to commit deceit out of fear of someone?
