Aptavani-8
we would say to him, ‘No, you do not need anything. You do not need to have any kind of dependency (avalumban) on this world at all.' Therefore, when he comes to that awareness, he will say, 'I am the pure Soul (Shuddhatma), I am the pure Soul.' From then on, there is no more worrying, or frustration left. Worry and frustration only takes place in the non-Self part, but one takes it all upon himself that “This is what is happening to me.' Goodness, this is not Yours; it is happening in the home of someone else. How can anything happen to You? It is happening at neighbor's house, so what is it got to do with You? Besides, nothing can happen to the Atma (the Self)! But it is the illusion (bhranti) of infinite ages that makes him forget all these facts. Atma and Non-Atma Separated Through The
Gnani's Vidhi
Questioner: You say that the ‘Atma is completely separate from me’, then why has it not become clear to me yet?
Dadashri: It can only become separate, after it has been separated, or else it remains as one (tanmayakar). “We' separate it for you; when 'we' perform the Gnanvidhi and it becomes separated. Otherwise, it cannot happen. That is why you just have to say that it really is separate indeed! But as long as the illusion (bhranti) is there, it remains bound. On the day 'we' give you Gnan here, we separate the Self (Atma) and the nonSelf (anatma) and from that point onwards the direct experience of Bhagwan (the Self), will never leave you. It is then that you will start seeing your own faults (dosh). Otherwise, until then you will not be able to see faults. As you begin to see the faults, they will disperse. Attainment of Gnan Results Through Deep
Intent
Questioner: What lies in my fate? When will I receive the Gnan that you talk about? Give me a time period.
