terms bhaavna and bhaav interchangeably. Now these terms are being defined precisely. Chandubhai is the name given by Dadashri to the one that has been separated from the Self, after the Gnan Vidhi. The mahatma substitutes his own worldly name for Chandubhai.)
Questioner: What is the difference between bhaav and

bhaavna?
Dadashri: Both are within Chandubhai. Yes, you are correct that there is a difference between bhaav and bhaavna.
Questioner: Bhaavna is pavitra (pure) and bhaav can be good or bad?
Dadashri No. It is not that bhaavna can be pavitra (pure) only. Bhaavnaa can be apavitra (impure) also. There can be a bhaavna of burning someone's house down and also there can be a bhaavna of building a house for someone. So bhaavna can be used in both ways, but bhaav is considered 'charge' and bhaavna is considered 'discharge'.
When you feel that, I have a bhaav to do this, I have to do this,' that too is a bhaavna, it is not a bhaav. Bhaav is something that is 'charge'.
This whole world has come into existence because of bhaavkarma, (charge karma, cause). Even though you cannot do anything positive, you must have the bhaav for it. I have taken away the bhaavkarma of mahatmas. Everyone else have bhaavkarma, so they have to ask for the strength. Whatever strength they need, they should ask from Dada Bhagwan, the Lord within.
Questioner: These other people have to ask for this

strength, but what happens when the mahatmas ask for strength and they have all these bhaavnas?.

Dadashri : What mahatmas ask is discharge. There are two kinds of bhaavnas, charge and discharge. People of this world have bhaavnas in vyavahar (daily activities) and mahatmas too have bhaavnas here. But ours is in the form of discharge and theirs is in the form of both, charge and discharge. What is wrong in asking for strength?
Questioner: When people who have not taken Gnan ask for strength in these nine kalams it is called bhaav, is it also called bhaav when the mahatmas ask for strength?
Dadashri : For the outsiders it is called bhaav and for our mahatmas it is bhaavna. It is true. That is called bhaav and it is considered as charge. And this bhaavna is considered discharge.
BHAAV, EXACTLY ACCORDING TO DESIGN
Questioner: Our bhaavna, desire, opinions etc., everything at present are just as expressed in these nine kalams?
Dadashri: It may appear to be same but it is not exactly the same. It is accepted that your inclination is in the direction of the nine kalams. This inclination towards the nine kalams must be according to an exact blueprint. The exact blueprint is only that of a Gnani Purush. Your inclination not to hurt any sadhu-sanyasi (monks and ascetics) is there, but it should be exact and correct, bringing forth meaningful results for you. This blueprint must be according to design or designpoorvak.
