you able to tell which one of them came and ate? The kashayas come and eat in this manner. This is how they feed. If they are fed just twice a month, they become as strong as they were before.
The kashayas have never been fed in our home, which is why they all left. Once it has been decided, 'I do not want to feed them', then they will not feed. Awareness agruti) is needed.
The kashayas are still sitting there; they have not gone away. But at the same time, 'we' have not killed them either. 'We are not himsak - violent - and that is why they have not gone away yet. 'We' do not have to starve them to death either: They simply remain at bay because of the aura and the heat' of the presence of the Gnani Purush, so what can 'we' do? We should not deliberately invite them either. Do they ever come to you to dine?
Questioner: Yes they do.
Dadashri: If you feed them raw food today, then tomorrow they will dine on cooked food. Therefore, you must never have a relationship or the interaction of feeding them. Whereas people feed them all the time, they feed their anger; they feed their pride etc.
Questioner: These kashayas eat everything so what should I do?
Dadashri: They will come to eat. Nevertheless Dadaji stands over you and through his blessings and grace (krupa) it is possible to clean everything. If you move away from this satsang on your own, then everything will immediately latch on to you. You should never leave Dadaji's support and protection
These kashayas of anger-pride-deceit-greed are suppressed within and given a chance; they can still flare up suddenly. So, if you want to bring an end to them all, then the
only way is let them die. Understand these two words: upsham - that which can re-ignite and kshayak - that which will not reignite.
Your work will be attained when the generation of these kashayas becomes smaller. It is a very difficult task to reduce their numbers. It is a baggage of countless past lives. All these kashayas within have become calm for now but some of them can still continue to sprout. Moreover, some of them may sprout in the next life, but that is not a problem. Your next life is going to be very systematic and orderly. It would create problems if they were to express here in this life. They will not let you move from here.
Certification for doing Satsang Until you attain the state of purnahuti - a state free of vishaya and kashaya and the complete experience of the Self (anubhav) - do not even attempt to tackle this topic (of doing satsang with people), because the kashaya, the faults (dosho) lie dormant and hidden, how can you even speak? One is not certified as yet. The current state of yours is free of worries and you are progressing slowly on the path of liberation. You should not say anything unless the Gnani Purush, who is certified, tells you to do so. When He gives you the certificate to do so, then you can proceed.
All the faults (the kashayas) are ready and waiting within, otherwise 'we' would tell you on the first day, 'Go ahead and speak, do satsang and I will sit leisurely.' 'We are looking for such help, but that state will arise automatically when all the kashaya within you become annihilated. Until then you should not be in a hurry to do so. The sweetness of doer-ship (garvaras) makes
