for one to live completely as a Gnani, one's vikalp ('I am Chandubhai') and sankalp (“My-ness') will not arise. When you get a letter regarding your income tax, saying that you have to pay a penalty, you will immediately understand that it is vyavasthit. If it is in your vyavasthit, then of course you will be fined. Otherwise, what else is he going to do, since he does not even have the independent control to empty his own bowels at will? No one is able to do anything in this world. And if it is meant to be so in your vyavasthit, then nothing is going to let you off, so why should you be afraid?
Whatever is in your karmic account, it will never let go of you. What can your poor boss do there? He is merely an instrument (a nimit). You will create animosity and vengeance (veyr) for the boss, blaming him for everything, and complaining that he is the only one who is like that; always after you. Alas, it is not the boss that is after you; it is your karma. By not understanding this, people are just creating vengeance.
As long as one becomes the 'doer', he will never understand 'who the doer (karta) is'. If one understands who the 'doer' is, then one will not remain as the 'doer'. See, You do not have to do anything, do You?
Questioner: No.
Dadashri: The Kramic path means that the ego is there, and with it, there is also the will of God. How can the two exist together? That is why Lord Mahavir (last Tirthankar) proclaimed, that one is the ‘doer’in vyavahar (life’s interactions). As long as you have the ego (ʻI am Chandubhai'), then you are indeed the 'doer', and if you do not have the ego, then vyavasthit is the ‘doer'.
Questioner: Dada, if one believes that God is the 'doer' (karta), then can't he just live his life with the understanding that he is the ‘non-doer' (akarta)?
