________________ Aptavani-9 149 150 Aptavani-9 he will say, 'Of course they are mine!' Will he not say that? Therefore, if the legs belong to you, then you are responsible for all the insects that get crushed beneath them. After Gnan, the awareness of, 'This body is not mine.' (I am not the body) remains for You. Therefore, You have to let go of the ownership of the body. 'We' take away the ownership when 'we' give you the Gnan. Now, if you take back that ownership, it will be your responsibility. Otherwise, everything will remain exact. This Vignan is such that it will keep you in a state similar to that of Lord Mahavir! Therefore. You should not interfere with whatever this external part, is doing. Then, You are not responsible at all. And, You are not able to do anything at all. The belief 'I can do something' is verily the wrong understanding. This belief ruins the next life. When dust is flying all around, one cannot see clearly what is on the other side. Similarly, the entanglements of karmas prevent you from seeing clearly and thus you get confused. But those entanglements will go away if there is the awareness of I am Shuddhatma'. That is why 'we' have given you the five sentences (Five Agnas) so that you can remain in the same state as that of Lord Mahavir. The path to moksha is straight (sarad), easy (sahelo) and natural (sahaj); but its attainment is very difficult. It is very rare to come into contact with a Gnani Purush and if and when you do, it is very difficult to attain Gnan from him. Some people have been trying for several years to attain this Gnan without success. Then, there are those who attain it within an hour! Everyone's circumstances are different are they not? Suspicion does not depart through reading becomes free of suspicions. The final suspicion would not go away simply from reading books, would it? Dadashri: There is nothing in the books and you will not get anything out of them in this regard. Can you taste sweetness by merely reading the sentence, 'Sugar is sweet,' in a book? What good does it do for you? Would the experience of sweetness not come only when you put sugar in your mouth? Questioner: So one cannot find a human being in whom God has manifested and the scriptures do not work. Does that mean that one has to wander around life after life? Dadashri: Yes, one has to wander, that is all. Questioner: From one shop to another, and from that one to another Dadashri: Yes, one has to wander around, shop after shop. Questioner: And the more shops we wander, the more the stock that is filled from other shops. Dadashri: Yes, that increases. And suspicions like, 'Will I get it from here or will I get it from there?' keep on increasing Only when one finds the ultimate shop, will he find the solution. In that shop, all suspicions about everything will depart. Knowing causes suspicion When does suspicion arise? If a person reads too much, it creates projections of intellect, which leads to entanglements and confusion. That confusion leads to suspicions and they will not let him come out of the worldly life. Suspicions arise from the familiarity of reading scriptures for many life times. Therefore the more one reads, the more it troubles him. This kind of knowing the Lord has referred to as 'overwiseness! If you are a lawyer, then the overwiseness of being a lawyer will bother you. If your wife buys sugar in the black books Questioner: But Dada, actions occur through human beings. It is only when God manifests in a human being that one
