Aptavani-4
Dadashri: Even that compassion is natural, but then in it, one has the ego of, 'How compassionate I am!' There is no problem as long as you do not have such an ego, but you cannot stop doing such egoism, can you?

Questioner: In serving the world, is it not our duty to employ the intent (bhaav) that we are serving the Lord (Parmatma)?
Dadashri: Yes. For that, your fruit will be merit karma (punya), but not moksha.
Questioner: Can we not get moksha even if we handed over our fruit directly to the Parmatma?
Dadashri: No one can hand over the fruit (punya) like
that.
Questioner: What if we mentally surrender them?
Dadashri: If you surrender like that, no one will accept the fruit or give it. The surrendering is just for namesake. Only you are the one who receives the fruit. The justice that prevails in Nature's domain says, "The fault is of the sufferer.'
Questioner: What if one no longer has the belief, “I am
the doer"?
Dadashri: If the 'doership' goes away and he attains knowledge of the Self, then he will not bind any karma.
The Formation of Social Order
Questioner: In this world, so many people go around hurting and killing others, and in the process, they are creating a new kind of social order. What happens then?
Dadashri: In the oceans we have, have you witnessed all the attacks that occur in them? Have you seen enormous fish weighing hundreds of tons fight in the ocean?
