even a little? That is why 'we' caution everyone. People will fall if we do not warn you of this danger. If one were to fall having arrived at such a high and worthy place, he will become useless and get hurt very badly. He will not get hurt so bad if he falls from a lower height but he will get hurt very badly if he has attained a very high level. So remain wherever you are and do not fall (regress) from there.
Do not bring your own words into this. Take the words that I speak here and use them as they are. Do not even build a new 'station. Or have you already built one? You have not dug holes for the foundation have you? You have not built anything have you? Should there not be a warning sign in place? Or else where will you end up? This path is very different and you will encounter so many enticing places and situations along the way. You have never encountered such enticing situations before. Even highly evolved spiritual beings have fallen victim to this, so what hope is there for you? So follow this path of 'Dada Bhagwan properly. It is 'a clear and a first-class road! There is no risk or anything on it.
Danger zones in the path of moksha
Leave and forsake anything that interferes in the path of liberation and proceed forward. That is considered, as following the goal. You must make sure that you must not lose sight of your own goal (dhyeya) of moksha no matter how difficult the circumstance you encounter.
Some days, does everything work out according to your goal? Nothing goes off track? So it has all become natural (sahaj), has it not?
Questioner: I have to keep turning the 'handle' within.
Dadashri: Do you have to keep turning it? But do they - the kashayas of greed, pride, anger and deceit, listen to you? Right away?
Questioner: Yes, right away.
Dadashri: Right away? It takes no time? That is good. The hallmark of internal separation and liberation is the extent to which they' listen to you. The more they pay attention to your instructions and listen to You, the greater the freedom. You are separate from them by that much. The Self-the absolute Soul cannot be bribed. It cannot be tempted by any bribes. When the self takes bribes and succumbs to such intense greed (alacha) the kashayas will stop listening to You - the enlightened Self. If the self if being deceitful in corruption, then it will stop listening to You - the Self who has the goal of moving ahead on the path of liberation. Once one tastes the fruits of intense greed (alacha) and the bribes, those inner enemies (kashaya) will not listen to him.
Such worldly interaction (vyavahar) will indeed drag one only in the contrary direction, will it not? Such has been the vyavahar for infinite lives, and this has been the path, has it not? So now even when it goes towards the other side (the worldly side), you have to steer it towards your own goal. An ox will automatically walk on the old path it is used to, will it not? Now You need to follow the path according to your goal and not the other way, the old path that you were used to. You have to say, Not this way, walk on this one.'
So the inner enemies-anger, pride, deceit and greed, will listen if you do not take the bribe. But once you take a bribe, the suffering from all aspects will follow. Hence, you must never deviate or step off from the decided goal - your dhyeya.
Questioner: What is that bribe like?
Dadashri: One will go and taste it. And in doing so if he finds sweetness in it, he will sit and linger there. Having tasted it once, he will return for a bottle or two of the same!
All this is deceptive tendency (kapat daanat). One wants to follow the path of moksha but also has a deceptive intent;
