The essence of all religion
avoid meals that are not samrassi?
Dadashri: As far as samrassi meals are concerned, for the mahatmas (those who have received Gnan) every thing is vyavasthit (scientific circumstantial evidence) so there should not be any fuss over what is served. This kalam is for the benefit of people at large. Our mahatmas, however, should at least think about taking as much samrassi meals as is possible.
PRAKRUTI: MULTIPLICATION - DIVISION
Questioner: Does this prakruti (one's inherent nature; characteristics; personality; the non-self- all that is within the body except Atma) have to have samrassi food?
Dadashri : What is prakruti? Prakruti ceases to be when that which was multiplied by thirteen is divided by thirteen.' Now what happens when you divide seventeen by thirteen? There will be a remainder. Therefore, I suggest a different kind of division.
Questioner: So that which was multiplied by thirteen needs to be divided by thirteen...?
Dadashri : If you do that, only then there will be no
remainder.
Questioner: Give us as an example.
Dadashri : Prakruti is the result of the bhaavs you did previously. These bhaavs were based on whatever you ate at that time. You multiplied those bhaavs with thirteen. Now you want to get rid of them so you have to divide them by thirteen. After this if you do not allow new bhaavs to occur, then your account will be closed. Because there are no new wishes, your account closes. This account has to be sealed.

PRAKRUTI NEARING ZERO
Questioner: You have given us the Gnan of the pure Self. Do we have to recite these nine kalams to settle previous accounts of the prakruti?
Dadashri: It will help. Divide with whatever you had multiplied in your previous life. Some doctors prescribe me a specific diet. I tell them that I cannot abide by their instructions as my 'multiplication' is of a different kind. How can it work if he gives me the wrong figure to divide with?
Questioner: So first, we must get rid of whatever is in the prakruti.
Dadashri: Yes, you must get rid of it.
Sometimes if I want to eat sopari (beetle nut - eaten as
a mouth freshener), I would ask Niruben (Dada's disciple) for her permission. While eating the sopari I would say that it is a medicine that causes cough. Many times she would say that I should not eat it and so I would not touch it. Sometimes she would tell me that I could have a small amount and so I would eat some and then have to suffer because it would make me cough. As such I do not have a habit of any kind. One can only eat when there is a previous account for eating sopari.
This is our Akram Vignan. Everything occurs because of habits that were formed in one's past life. It is all right even if you do not eat samrassi food as long as you ask for the strength to do so. Through the bhavna of this kalam your past accounts are settled.
Questioner: Dada, you have said: "Prakruti should be divided by prakruti, and if you multiply it will increase." Please explain this.
