circumstantial evidence (vyavasthit). Therefore, remain only in the present; just stay in the present time which is now. Taking Over Another's Control Leads to
Worries! All kinds of difficulties come to a home that has worries! Worrying is an ego. Do you have any control over running all this? If you take away the control from the one who has the control, then he will not stick his hand in it again. Leave the control in the hands of the controller.
Questioner: What should we do so that we do not have any worries?
Dadashri: Turn around. Or else, get rid of your 'egoism'. If there is a Gnani Purush and if he gives you Gnan, then you will not have any worries. What is the consequence of worrying?
Questioner: I do not know.
Dadashri: The consequence, is a birth in the animal lifeform. Worrying is an “above-normal egoism'.
Questioner: I worry a lot.
Dadashri: You have relatively fewer worries, which is why you have the chance to even come here. These wealthy businessmen (sheths) do not even have the time to use the toilet. That is how many worries they have. They have two businesses and they want to start a third one! Greed, greed and greed. How much have you decided to earn? One million rupees?!
Questioner: The more, the better.
Dadashri: Haven't you had enough yet? Even when your black hair has turned grey, you are still not done? That is why it is a betrayal (dago). Now just let go of all this hassle and live in contentment; have your tea and snacks in peace, eat your meals peacefully and get on with your work.
