had come today to eat.' But what a drama 'we' play, even Hiraba would not realize 'we' are acting. 'We would even tell her, 'I do not like it if you are not with me. She would not know that we are saying it 'dramatically. I am telling you this.
Enjoying without my-ness When you come here to stay for a few days, you can enjoy the comforts of a bed, mattress, chair, etc., there is no problem with that, but do so without any mamata towards it. That is called 'enjoying, so you have to experience everything without mamata, enjoy with an understanding of this is not mine'. Now if the head of the house understands that although he is the landlord but nothing belongs to him even though he is the landlord, then how well he would enjoy everything in a mamata-free state. Then even if children were to jump on his bed and break it, he would not be affected because he does not have any mamata; attachment through ownership of that bed.
Therefore, it is worth knowing all this from the Gnani Purush. Otherwise you have done nothing but wander for countless past lives, you have not left any place to wander and yet the Central station' (for liberation) has not arrived. Here, when you meet the Gnani Purush, you have finally arrived at your destination
He attains liberation Now this - liberation through Akram Vignan - is the Central Station. You do not have to go any further from this point, your journey ends here. There are no mental difficulties (adhi), physical difficulties (vyadhi) or externally induced difficulties lupadhi). Otherwise there is nothing but wandering at every station anyway and people do exactly just that. People wander from here to there and from there to here because of their intense greed (alacha) of 'I want this and I want that. The
Lord says, 'Once you fulfill your intense greed (alacha), come take my shelter. Then, you and I are one.' But people have intense unsatisfied greed for so many things that their wanderings never cease.
A person can attain liberation on his own if he did not harbor any intense greed (alacha). He can discover liberation if he is not bound by his lalacha. But people keep wandering (caught up in the life-death cycle) as a result of their intense greed and they suffer tremendously in the process.
I asked one man who had come here, 'Do you have any intense greed (alacha)?" he replied, 'I do not harbor any greed whatsoever!' I told him, "That is a great adjustment. The one who has never had intense greed can reach the Self. One loses all sense in intense inner greed
(lalacha) Questioner: Is there just one kind of lalacha or are there many?
Dadashri: There is no problem if there were just one kind. Then it is called greed of one kind.
Questioner: But the intense greed you are talking about is that of one kind?
Dadashri: No there are all kinds of intense greed (lalacha). People want to extract happiness from wherever they can
Questioner: Is it an illusionary happiness?
Dadashri: Yes, that is it. What else? There is no limit to it. It is fine if there is lalacha for only sex. Then it is considered lobh (just greed). Then he would not have an intense greed (lalacha) for anything else, would he? No. But a person with intense greed will have all kinds of intense greed (alacha) he will be absorbed in all kinds of lalacha.
