________________ Aptavani-4 37 save me.” You fool, the doctor's mother is dead, his father is dead; he could not even save them, so how is he going to save you? If the doctor's father has phlegm stuck in his throat, you would say to him, “You have done so many surgeries on people's stomachs to remove tumors, so why don't you just remove this phlegm clot?”? And he would reply, “No, if I did that, it will kill him.” They make idle claims such as, “I saved that patient...” You louts! You have every right to say that, if you are never going to die! First, put an end to your funeral pyre (nanami)! Therefore, understand all this. How Much Purusharth in Digesting Food? Take this snack for instance that is in front of us. Tell me how much purusharth is needed to eat it? If you need purusharth for eating, then that purusharth and the worldly purusharth (routine activities) are the same. Do you have to do any purusharth when you eat? Questioner: No. Dadashri: The fact is that, for eating you have to do naimitik purusharth (evidence-based effort); you have to move your hands and your mouth. The teeth will chew the food nicely and the tongue will also do its job, as long as you do not interfere. But you interfere in it by saying, “I am doing the purusharth of eating.” Now if the tongue tried to do the purusharth of eating, it would get crushed many a time, between the thirty-two teeth. But the tongue does not interfere, and it does not say, “I am doing the purusharth.” During meals, provided that one does not attempt to do purusharth in the ‘mill' (chewing complex), the activity of eating can happen naturally and nicely. All you have to do is to “know" and "see”. Everything will happen naturally. In the evening, don't you go to sleep after you have eaten some savory cake (handvo)? So in order to digest it, what purusharth do you do?
