________________ Gnani Purush. It will be worth something only if you study that slowly and gradually. 'We' have to seriously caution the one whose awareness jagruti increases significantly. If he abides by the Agnas, then he is safe. But it is very difficult to have a safe side. The only awareness jagruti that is beneficial is that which shows the slightest stirring of the ego, because this ego only will remain hidden, and everything else will be evident. That which is going to aggressively overpower you, is the only one that will not be evident. The intellect buddhi must come to an end, then the ego and then all the rest of the desires of the non-Self complex pudgal. At the moment, these desires iichcha are not evident within, but they are there, latent and smoldering oopsham within. They are suppressed within and they must all, come to an end kshaya. At the moment one is not aware of all these desires. As as long as a thought of sexuality vishaya arises, then it proves that the desires of the pudgal the non-Self complex are indeed present. As long as sexual thoughts arise within, till then it is evident that the physical desires are real and until then the fire within is smoldering and latent. Therefore, be cautious. This is very dangerous, it will topple you over and there is no telling where you will land. Not only will the awareness jagruti go away but even this state of samkit the right vision will go away too. That ego and everything else within will then take control over you. That is why the Lord called them oopsham smoldering kashayas attributes, likely to reignite anytime and make one fall. Questioner: But since you have placed us on the twelfth guna sthanak - the twelvth spiritual stage, so we will not fall will we? Dadashri: No, You will not fall, but you will fall. What will fall? The one who is the worldly life vyavahar will fall. The twelfth spiritual stage is for the nischaya the Self, in the vyavahar the worldly life interaction, one falls before reaching the eleventh stage. One reaches come all the way to the eleventh and then falls again. Therefore, the eleventh gunthanu is applicable to the worldly life and it is like the smouldering coals.
