________________ "We are always in the state of naturalness. This naturalness is continuous. There is not a single moment out of naturalness. 'We' remain as nature keeps 'us', because the ego-less state has been attained. How can you become spontaneous sahaj with existence of even the slightest 'I-ness'? When one gives up the last remnants of the ego, potapanu one becomes natural. When one attains naturalness sahaj state one can remain continuously in the awareness as the Self atma upayog. Drama begins when ‘I-ness' decreases 'I-ness' potapanu is a very big word. There is not even a trace of 'Iness' in 'us'. Yet 'we' make Hiraba sit next to 'us'. People ask 'us', 'Who is this?' and 'we would tell them, “This is my wife.' 'We will say all that. 'We will even tell Hiraba, 'I do not like to be without you. How good she must feel when 'we' tell her that! But with 'us', it is all dramatic' (like acting in a play). One man tells me, 'Can you bless my piece of land by gracing it with your footsteps?' I told him, 'Why should I have any problems?' We'would also ask him questions about his land such as when he made the deal, how much he paid for it, etc. Some people may even think that Dada has become a land broker. If a person gets a benign white spot on his body but he keeps showing it to me. I would gently rub my hand over it just to satisfy him. Questioner: That too is a drama, is it not? Dadashri: It is all a drama. The whole day is a drama for 'us'. All my actions of the entire day are a drama. If you take 'us' to your home for darshan, that too is a drama. If it were not a drama, then the 'I-ness' potapanu would be there. Because there is no 'I-ness', the drama is exact. Otherwise, it would be like, 'I have to go there for a visit and do darshan ,' but there is no such thing. Therefore, all this is nothing but a drama. The whole daylong I am doing a 'drama'. When I sit in the satsang and answer questions, it is a drama too. But the drama starts only when the 'I-ness' potapanu decreases and not otherwise.
