around you if they think they are going to get something from you? You simply have to tell them, 'This is not a task for me.' You cannot utter even a word; otherwise it will ruin everything within you.
Questioner: But can we not at least talk about our own experiences?
is jagruti. This 'Dada' remains in your memory all day long. This awareness of 'I am Shuddhatma' is there because of 'Dada' It is called the fruit of his grace (krupa-phala), whereas, jagruti is a different thing altogether.
There is no need to rush in this. This Gnan that you have attained is so rare, that one cannot attain it even in a hundred thousand life times. Having attained it with such ease and in a short while, one becomes embroiled in a rush and frenzy (raghavaat). This is not a line of shortcuts or impatience. This is the line of harmony, patience and stillness.
The Lord considers the establishment of the awareness (laksha) of 'I am Shuddhatma' a greatest thing. In the Kramic path, there is conviction (pratiti) of only 'words' that describe the attributes of the Self. One attains the conviction of the words, which describe the attributes of the Shuddhatma as 'I am this and they place a great value on this conviction of words: they call this state samkit. However this conviction is only of words, whereas you have attained the conviction of the vastu - the actual Soul; the Self. It is a conviction that is natural to the Self (swabhavik pratiti). That is why this conviction (pratiti) is called kshayak (eternal). This Gnan can do a great deal of work, it is a tremendous wonder. Subtle change of ownership when talking to
others about Dada So if you want to achieve the absolute state of enlightenment (The Self) then maintain a very careful vigil; be very alert. As far as possible, do not say anything in any place whatsoever. Do not try to explain this Gnan to anyone. Otherwise there will be contrary result. To speak even a word of the speech of the Vitarag is a biggest spiritual liability.
What do people care, they will stick around you. All they care about is that they will get something. Do they not stick
Dadashri: There is no experience. The talk that comes out is really the words that we have spoken. Those words are now sprouting forth. The experience however, comes very slowly.
So the entire Vignan of the vitarag should be present. No one knows even a fraction of this Vignan. It is our' speech that had entered within, is what is coming forth. And if some strong headed intellectual were to come along, he will destroy everything with just a few words. Knowledge that is based on the intellect (buddhigamya) will not work, will it? The world already has intellectual knowledge, does it not? Arey! People have memorized volumes and volumes of scriptures. You will become confused if they utter just one word.
It is 'our' Gnan that has been given to you as a seed that has grown and has produced the resulting (parinaam) experience. What 'we' have given you remains in the form of a seed within and it will grow again to give results. At the most you may talk about the Gnan by saying, 'Dadaji used to say... But when speech comes forth in this manner, for a few days the listener may feel this man speaks exactly like Dadaji' but where will that take you? After a few days, it will make you fall hard; it will not let you go.
Become a child of The Gnani
When someone gives you a compliment by saying, 'You spoke very well,' tell him, 'I am simply a child of Dada. Just
