that you are sitting in? Now if he gets up from there and you go and sit in his place; you would have the same space, but then the time would change.
So the world is like a flowing stream. This world is not still, but flowing, in the form of the worldly life (sansar). Sansar (the worldly life) means evolving (samsaran), constantly changing, and not staying still for even a moment! Just as if there were an army of two hundred thousand men marching by. There would be rows of five, ten or fifteen, and would they not all be assembled in a line? And as it is passing by, would you not be able to see it all? That is how the Gnanis see the world passing by. When the eyes of Knowledge (Gnan) open up, they keep seeing the world as it flows. And because it is flowing, no one else is occupying the space you are in, and when someone comes and occupies your space, then the time changes. Can you understand that? Therefore, this body (deha), the shape (aakaar), good karma (punya) and bad karma (paap); they are all separate. But as the Self; they are all of one nature.
The Soul Cannot Be Divided Questioner: So can we really say that all Atmas are a fraction of just one Atma?
Dadashri: No, no! All Atmas cannot be a portion of just one Atma! Anything, whatever it is, anything that has form (roop), will always have a portion; however, anything that is without form (aroopi), it does not have a portion. The formless (aroopi) is only in the form of one thing. If it could be made into portions, or broken into pieces, and divided, it would never become whole again. So the Atma (the Self) is in the form of completeness.
Questioner: So am I the complete pure Soul (Shuddhatma) from within?
Dadashri: You are complete, you are the whole!
