Dadashri: What else can 'he (Ambalal)' do? What can you tell the one doing a tragu?
Questioner: She will realize that nothing affects 'Dada'.
Dadashri: She will realize everything. This 'Dada' is a very shrewd man. Otherwise, can he run such a large organization? There would be quarrels everyday. But just look! There are no rules here and the law here is one of 'no law-law': does everything still not run smoothly? If 'we' do not see ultimate humility (param vinay) in a person, 'we' will keep a stern watch over him and if he does not maintain humility (vinay), then 'we' will ask him to 'get out'. But 'we' would not tell him in a manner that would create enmity. It would be done gently and with humility. Dada is happy only where there is ultimate humility.
'We' have come here to turn people around. 'We' do not need anything from this world. One goes through immense misery because he is on the wrong path. While taking the wrong path he incurs additional liability for his actions. It is a different matter if there was no suffering and he was enjoying it. But one goes through so much misery and on top of that he incurs tremendous liability for being on the wrong path. Therefore; out of compassion for him, 'we' ask, 'why are you heading on the wrong path?'

Udvega (emotional agitation) : Shanka (suspicion): Nondha (making a deep intense mental note)
Against emotional agitation: udvega
So become straight (sarad) like a child if you want to attain moksha. A child does things without any understanding and the Gnani Purush does it with an understanding that is all. Both are childlike and innocent. Does the worldly life not continue for a child even though he has no worldly understanding? The child's life runs very well. In fact, his worldly life gets worse as he begins to understand. The Gnani Purush is straight (sarad) like a child. Obstinacy (aadayee) is a form of ego; an ego that says I don't want to be straight and I want to do it my way. Obstinacy is a result of wanting to have one's own way. Obstinacy will go away in a person who does things according to the will of others.
Questioner: When events do not occur as one has planned and willed; he becomes agitated and emotional (udvega). Dadashri: Events never occur as one wishes. Therefore, before throwing the dice just think that they are going to fall the wrong way. Thereafter, whichever dice falls the right way, is correct. But if we say that all four must fall my way, then that day will never come and there will be entanglements, uneasiness, and emotional agitation (udvega). Instead, by saying in advance, 'all four of you fall the wrong way' then when one or two fall the right way, you will be pleased with the results and feel easy. So the value is in making the right internal adjustments.
