Who Is Our Boss?
Who can make such a bold statement? A person would have to be absolutely fearless to make such a statement. Why should you be afraid of anyone? I have searched far and wide and have discovered that there is no one in this world above you to whom you are answerable. The entity that you consider God above you is your very own Self. And God can never be anyone's superior. So then who is your superior? - Your own blunders and mistakes are your superiors. I have no boss because all my mistakes and blunders have been cleared. You too can be free like me.
On your way here to satsang, you are involved in a minor car accident and you fail to stop when the police signaled you. If the policeman were to come here, you would immediately realize that he has come for you. You will be aware of the mistake you made. Now you have to rectify your mistake. Until now, you have always looked at other people's faults and blamed them. You could not see your own faults. When you see your own faults and you destroy them, you will become God.
What is the Fundamental Mistake?
If you disguise yourself as Indira Gandhi and go around telling everyone that you are Indira Gandhi, taking advantage of the situation, would that not be a blunder? Would you not be held accountable for it? By the same token, you have been taking advantage of your false imposition of 'I am Chandulal' and that is your blunder. Through this false imposition, faults occur.
Only these two are your superiors, your blunders and your mistakes. Your assertion that 'I am Chandulal' is your blunder. Then, your assertions, I am her husband', 'I am his son', "I am a doctor etc., are your mistakes. How many such mistakes are there?
Questioner: Innumerable.
Dadashri: You will not be able to get rid of the blunder by yourself. I will destroy your fundamental blunder and thereafter you can tackle the mistakes on your own. There is no other boss, except for the blunder and mistakes. People have unnecessary anxieties about some superior power over them.
When can you realize your mistakes? People believe that God is their superior and that if they were to pray to him, he will free them from everything, but there is no superior. You yourself are your superior. You are your own protector and your own destroyer. You are whole and sole responsible for yourself. You are the only boss. Absolutely no one can meddle in this. The reason that you have a superior over you is because of your mistakes. You will have to destroy these mistakes, will you not?
If you want absolute independence and freedom, then you will have to destroy all your mistakes. You can only realize and see your mistakes upon discovering who you really are. This
The ascetics and seekers keep suppressing and pushing aside their desires, but on the contrary, their desires keep increasing. Desires are not easy to push aside. People do not know the root cause of such desires. To desire is not a mistake. The root cause of the desire needs to be dealt with. You cannot stop a revolving fan by holding back the blades with a stick. You need to switch off the power to the fan.
You must first erase the fundamental mistake: the belief that I am Chandulal. Such a belief is a projected belief. It is not real.
