Aptavani-9
Dadashri: It would be like gold if they spoke methodically and exactly as it is. Only understand this Vignan, you need not
do anything else Questioner: This talk of purusharth is extremely important. It is all that is left after Gnan.
Dadashri: Not everyone has understood this very subtle talk. Out there it is all thoka thok futile and baseless intellectual discussions. How very subtle all this is, but people have never known about it. They have not even heard about it!!
Questioner: And the absolute Self is as subtle as space. And do we not have to understand the Gnan at that level of subtlety?
Dadashri: Yes. One has to latch on to that but there is no need to run after it. You do not have to run to the point it makes your stomach hurt. All You need to do is understand what it is being said. Everything is to be done easily and naturally (sahajata). Therefore, You don't have to do anything: You only have to understand
Everyone has a desire to analyze things deeply, don't they? Who does not have a desire to be wealthy? Why do these people run around in the market for so many years? The whole world runs after wealth and money, does it not?
Questioner: But we can make progress through the support of Your words, can we not? Can we not progress towards the main thing by hanging on to your every word?
Dadashri: Yes, at first one enters this way slowly. He will enter through this gate first then he will reach the second gate. But what happens if one has not entered even the first gate? Only the one who understands this will
attain Questioner: We are able to recognize that you are at a
highly elevated stage when such subtle talks come out, and we are awe stricken by Your great divinity and about Your Vignan of Akram.
Dadashri: Not everyone recognizes through this understanding. Is it easy to recognize this? The person who understands this state will attain this state. To gain this understanding is not an easy thing to accomplish. Yes the one who can see that our'aapopu, the last remnant of I-ness' in the living state - is gone, has grasped something very important. That person has understood what I-ness' is. One whose 'I-ness' is gone becomes
Parmatma Now how does this 'I-ness' aapopu, potapanu go away? By doing darshan of the person whose 'I-ness' is gone; this is the fitness' (qualification or degree) of spiritual readiness (paatrata), nothing else.
Questioner: Does it happen merely through doing darshan?
Dadashri: Everything can happen with darshan. This topic has come out only today. Has the word aapopu ("I-ness') cropped up before? It opens up when the occasion arises.
God takes care of the one whose 'I-ness' goes away, so then, where is the problem. Where do I have any such problem? Let Lord Krishna ride the horses, 'we' simply have to keep seeing' from within. So when will God take care of everything? When You let go of your 'I-ness. That is why Krupadudev has said, 'bhagwat, bhagwat nu sambhadi leshey - God will take care of the one who has become God.' To become God, one has to leave the 'I-ness'.
It is not God's responsibility as long as the 'I-ness' prevails. And when the 'I-ness' is gone, God is completely responsible.
