What they consider their own qualities, are in fact the qualities of someone else. All the qualities that you see, are not yours; they are wrongly ascribed (aropit) qualities! They are not your qualities; nevertheless, you say that they are my qualities (gunas).
Questioner: I have a few good qualities (gunas) and I also have some bad qualities.
Dadashri: No. They are both wrongly ascribed qualities (aropit guna). And good qualities and bad qualities are both wrong. They are both cultured qualities (gunas) and cultured things! These good-bad qualities are not yours at all. Your qualities are something quite different. You have not seen or known a single one of your qualities. Even others have not known their own qualities (gunas). That is why all these people come here, to know their own qualities! This is because they want endless happiness (sukh). They do not want this temporary happiness!
The qualities (gunas) that exist at the present time, are ‘Chandubhai's qualities; they are not Your qualities. Chandubhai and You are both separate. In this body, even You are separate, and even Chandubhai is separate. “We see them both as being separate; 'we' see Chandubhai and 'we' also see You (the Self). So, In truth, really speaking, who you are, is the decision you must take! In this body, Your location (kshetra), is separate. If You reside in Your location, then You are the Knower of your location (kshetragnya). And if you do not reside in your location (kshetra), then you become one with the location (kshetrakaar; Chandubhai). By becoming the Knower (kshetragnya), You have to see what goes on in the location (kshetra)! What does Knower of the location (kshetragnya) mean? It is the one who knows the location. So all You have to do is just keep knowing, What is happening, who is speaking, and all that is what You must know, while remaining in your own location (kshetra) that is all!
To come to the decision, 'I am the pure Soul
