Questioner: Dada, it is a hundred percent fact that such an adjustment is only possible if one has this Akram Vignan. Otherwise it is impossible.
Dadashri: Yes, otherwise it is impossible; such adjustment would not remain, what support could it have? In those situations, whatever adjustment one takes will be blown away and he will become distraught and restless. Then he will walk around looking as if he just drank some castor oil!
Questioner: You just said for us to think that the dice should fall the wrong way, when we throw them. Why should one even have such expectation of a negative result?
Dadashri: Then what should you expect instead?
Questioner: We should not have any expectations; whatever comes is correct.
Dadashri: It is good if your mind agrees to 'whatever way the dice falls is correct' then it is a good thing. And when the mind is dissatisfied with the result, then you have to say, 'all of you fall the wrong way.' Then you will be content even when just two of the four fall the right way. So it all depends on the kind of mind you have. Where there is no expectation, there is no
emotional agitation If you make a deal on the phone with someone in Bombay and then two days later he changes his mind, you will experience emotional agitation (udvega) but the other person will not. Why should you be the one to experience emotional agitation (udvega)? You are in your dharma (keeping your side of the deal) and the other person is in adharma (doing wrong by changing his mind. Why should you be agitated when you have done nothing wrong? A person may argue, 'But I lost the profit, did I not?' You fool! You have never had a profit, so why not let it go? Just believe that you never made a deal in the first
place. But instead he becomes emotionally agitated and his wife will ask, 'What happened? Why are you like this?' There is nothing but udvega, udvega, udvega, udvega! That which was supposed to flow down towards calmness has gone up towards emotional agitation. If the other person backed out after making the deal, what is the harm? Just think that you never made the deal in the first place. Instead, one gets trapped in udvega.
What does everyone do? While sustaining one loss, they create two more. The Gnani Purush lets only one loss go.
Questioner: When a person experiences emotional agitation (udvega), is it not due to moha (attachment due to illusion)?
Dadashri: When one loses ten thousand rupees in a deal, there is moha behind it. He has already incurred one loss, why fret over it? Why double the loss? There was only one loss written in the effect of his karma, so why take another loss? Is it better to incur one or two losses? Just one, but every one incurs two losses and then he binds the same karma again for his next life.
Why should there be even a moment of udvega? Udvega binds much karma. 'We have not experienced even a moment of emotional agitation (udvega) since 'we' attained this Gnan Motion (Vega), emotion (Aavega) and
emotional agitation (udvega) Questioner: Please explain vega, aavega and udvega?
Dadashri: Vega (motion) is a natural phenomenon and aavega is unnatural. When one becomes the 'doer' (I am Chandulal), he becomes emotional (aavega). Emotional agitation fudvega) occurs even when one does not want it to. Emotional agitation (udvega) occurs against one's wishes and it is strong enough to crack open his head! The head feels as if it is going to explode! Even the Gnani is subject to vega, however He does not have aavega and absolutely no udvega.
