________________ I provide clarifications to Questioner: Where is the problem , if people who ask questions? Dadashri: To give clarification to a question is a different thing. First the awareness jagruti has to arise, then that awareness has to take hold as an experience parinaam. After the awarness has taken hold, then after a long time later, clarifications khulasa given will be helpful. Othewise those clarifications will become misclarifications, and one's Gnan will go down, and become intellectual buddhigamya in nature. Before you even attempt to answer any questions, all forms of egoism must vanish. This means the 'dramatic ego' , i.e. the residual ego, also known as the discharge ego, must also be gone. The ego should not be appaqrent to the world. At the moment, all the 'functions are still very weak (one has not become free from kashaya) they are not strong enough. Until all those functions are completed (free from kashaya), the speech will not be syadvaad. Syadvaad speech is egoless speech, it does not hurt any living being. Instead, it is better that you not say anything otherwise you will incur a liability dosh. As all these facets go down, as the intellect goes down, as the egoism-applied ego, starts to diminish, the speech will become syadvaad. For the time being, do not get involved with questions. Otherwise you serving something that is half cooked. Otherwise, it will mislead you, your spiritual progress will be hampered, then it will be difficult to turn things around once the damage is done. Therefore, there must not be the taste of sweetness by the egoism and the intellect in it. In addition, in that process, there should be a repulsion abhaav towards any involvement of the ego or the intellect. And this should become an established internal study abhyaas , then only it is useful and worthy! Until then it is better to wait and be patient. On the path of full enlightenment... Do you ever talk and discuss things with people? Do not get into any discussions anywhere. Because people will listen but what will happen to you? People will listen with one ear and let it out the other, but You too will become sucked in its false sweetness. This happens because the egoism, the tendency for the intellect and ego to take over, is still present, and they (anger, pride, deceit and greed) are all just ready and hungrily waiting,
