Dadashri: Yes, 'we' had deliberately done the tragu and she did the tragu according to her karma. 'We' did it on purpose, all the while remaining in the Gnan. There were five or ten mahatmas sitting there, one of them told me, "How can you do something like this?' so 'we' replied, 'Learn. Let me teach you. Just sit there quietly. 'We' are teaching you a lesson. What method will you employ when your wife causes problems for you at home?'
Questioner: You said that you did it while remaining in Gnan. Can you tell us how to remain in Gnan while doing it?
Dadashri: Just by this Gnan; the Gnan that 'Ambalal is the doer'. Is the Gnan married to Hiraba? Besides, just look how we (Dada and Hiraba) spent all the years without matbhed (separation due to differences in opinion). Even now, 'we' stop any separation due to differences of opinion even before they arise. Later Hiraba even took Gnan again. Then 'Dada' came into her dream
Otherwise, 'we' have not been ill-at-ease with anyone for the past forty years. 'We have not raised our voice or been irritated with anyone for forty years! People too recognize and understood this. They even say that I am like God.
Tragu, is an art too Tragu is an art; it is one of the seventy-two arts. Questioner: Is stealing also not an art (kada)?
Dadashri: Yes, that is also an art but all these arts that one has acquired (from past life) are what create problems in this life.
Questioner: Where does one learn the art of tragu?
Dadashri: The soul has all kinds of energies. When a person decides, 'I will get what I want through scaring others'
then he will know how to do a tragu. He will then know how to get his way through tragu.
One needs a lot of cleverness (akkal) to do a tragu. Most people are not smart enough to understand or recognize a tragu. If someone is doing a tragu, 'we' would know it right away. It is no fun to deal with one who comes and does a tragu here.
Questioner: Can you recognize when one does tragu?
Dadashri: 'We'recognize it the moment one resorts to a tragu 'here comes tragu! He has started doing a tragu!'
Vigilance with understanding A ten-year-old son of one of our acquaintance would start crying and wailing as soon as his mother became free from her household chores. I had to sleep in the room next to his. He would do this every day, so one day, when he was alone, I went in his room and pinched him a few times and he started to scream. His mother became exasperated, 'This cry-baby harasses me everyday.'I said, "No he is not harassing you. Just listen to the wonderful sound he is producing. This is music. Just listen. Call everyone to listen.' This went on for two or three more days and then it stopped.
We have to come up with some remedy, do we not? How long can this go on? People use tragu to scare others. Just one person with a tragu can scare and ruin hundred others.
They can do such a tragu that will take the wind out of you and drain you emotionally. Being a Gnani, Gnan helps 'us' realize that a person is doing tragu. Even when I did not have Gnan, I could assess a person from every angle and immediately tell why he is doing it and what his intent is behind his tragu. I would tell him right away 'Have a seat. We are having some tea right now.' By that time his mind would calm down and even he would get tense.
