Aptavani-4
nothing else except a Gnani Purush. 'I do not desire anything that is temporary in this world.' You should say this five times every morning upon waking up. The one who remains sincere to this will not bind any karma. But who is the 'I'? You should decide this before saying it. You should decide that, 'I am the pure Soul (Shuddhatma), and it is the body that has needs. It is 'Chandubhai' who wants. That is not excessive, is it? Whatever there is in vyavasthit is well and good, and if there is not, then so be it, but nevertheless, 'I do not want anything'. This is the inner intent that you should have. And if you remain sincere to it, then interference (dakho) is not likely to happen. You will only receive what vyavasthit has in store for you, nothing can make a difference to that. You will however acquire benefits like fewer worries and less frustration. Both these dravyas (the Self and the non-Self) are separate. You just have to experience each of them separately. You do not have to do anything else. Even when the intellect (buddhi) interferes by entering your thoughts and creating confusion, You are still not the 'doer'. 'You' (the Self) just keep Your part separate. When 'You' (the Self) and 'Chandubhai' (the non-Self) live as neighbors, then nothing touches you! If You remain sincere to 'Yourself', then this is a science of a kind that will keep You untouched (nirlep).
You work in the warehouse. When you are at work, are you 'sincere' or not?
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: It is difficult to stay sincere in such situations, but it is not so difficult here. If a person feels that he still wants to relish the worldly life, but that his sincerity cannot be maintained, he should let me know so that I can help him find a way out. But if he is confused and bewildered by doubts about whether or not he will bind karma, then he will not get anywhere. The theory of binding of karma is altogether a different thing. That, You have to understand from me.
