opinion. After the Lord had left, partiality crept in and these sects and divisions began to emerge. Not only did the path to moksha not remain true, but relative religion did not remain true either. True religion is to practice and remain within the Lord's Agnas. Practice whatever Agna you can, even two, but there should not be any falseness in it. Here you have people who keep glancing at their watches while they do introspective meditation (samayik)! The Lord says do samayik if you can, do a few if you cannot do many, but all the same, do it right and properly. The Lord's Agna will never get old no matter if you practice it a million times. But because a person does not understand it, he fails to follow it properly. It is not his fault. You can only practice dharmadhyan (virtuous meditation) of the Vitarag Lord provided that you do not get caught up with any kind of sectarianism. Dharmadhyan disappears when one becomes involved in any kind of partiality. To be partial means to adhere to a particular viewpoint. There will be no differences of opinions (matbhed) if You stay in the center, and that is when You will attain moksha. If You put yourself at any 'degree', there will always be 'ours' and 'yours', and as long as you stay there, you cannot attain moksha.
Business Tendencies Even in Religion
All religions that exist in the worldly life (sansar), are termed as business, because they carry some sort of subtle desire. You will not attain the Self, if there is a trace of subtle desire. If one himself is drowning, how can he save you from drowning too? Without Gnan, those desires will not leave. Desire itself is a burning flame. When it arises, it ignites itself, so then it has to be extinguished. Today's people are trying to put it out with 'petrol'! If you leave home after a nice and satisfying meal, are you likely to look at anyone's shop for food?
Questioner: No.
Dadashri: In the same way, the Gnani Purush gives you
