Dadashri: That is why this circumstance of this satsang came about, and what if you had made the bhaav to drink alcohol?
Therefore, you encounter circumstances according to your bhaav. You can infer what your bhaav must have been for such a circumstance to occur, and destroy it by its root. The Gnanis discover the root cause from the bhaav and destroy it. Bhaav Are Different and Thoughts Are Different
Questioner: To have bhaav and to have thoughts, what is the difference between the two?
Dadashri: Bhaav is not what people understand it to be. “I have a great bhaav for jalebi (Indian sweet),” – the word bhaav used here, is random and used very loosely, in all kinds of situations. The fact is that bhaav is not something that you can perceive with your eyes. What people refer to as a bhaav is actually a desire.
Thoughts and bhaav have nothing to do with one another.
Questioner: Thought arises and bhaav occurs. There is no “demarcation' between the two.
Dadashri: Whatever thought arises, is in the form of 'discharge and bhaav is “charge'. No matter how many thoughts you have, there is nothing wrong with them as long as “You'remain in Gnan.
Questioner: Does one reap the fruit in this very life of bhaav done in this life?
Dadashri: No. So many things have to come together before the bhaav comes into effect (dravya). It takes a long time for the bhaav to manifest into an effect. It is only when the karma matures, that it comes into fruition.
