Pratikraman
special seat is concerned, I tell all the gurus who come to me, *Maharaj Sahib, I request you never to give discourses.' So they ask me, 'Why, what is wrong with us?' I tell them, 'If you want to go to hell, then carry on. This is the greatest sign for going to hell. Now tell me, how would they realize this liability? How can a man full of mistakes find a mistake?
Questioner: One can never see his own mistakes.
There should not be even a single parmanu (subatomic particle) of anger in this body. When there is not a single parmanu of greed, not a single parmanu of pride, not a single parmanu of deceit, then one is called a God.
Questioner: Should kashay end completely?
Dadashri: All the kashays are gone, but not even a parmanu of it should remain thereafter. Thereafter, it would not be there even in the form of an effect (discharge). Departure of kashays means there are no more causes of kashays being created. It means all effects of kashays are gone from the body: no trace of effect remains in the body. Right now, Your causes are gone but you still have kashays in the form of discharge (effect) stuck somewhere within.
Questioner: Even the discharge is gone completely?
Dadashri: Yes, I have seen such a state. That is when the absolute Self form (mood swaroop) arises. That is when total experience (anubhav) of the Self will arise, otherwise not. The Self cannot be seen. Where there is absence of kashays is verily where the Self is.
(264) Questioner: And is that the state of complete absence of kashays?
Dadashri: That is impossible in this era of the current time cycle. And in sushamkaal (auspicious time cycle) there is no such thing as impossible.
Questioner: Therefore, it does not exist even in the origin of kashay. It does not exist even where it originates from.
Dadashri: Not even there. Religious Instructions with Kashays Lead to Hell
Questioner: Does that mean there is no kashay at all? Dadashri: That is when this Gnan arises. So as far as this
Dadashri: They will not let go if they cannot see, will they? One can see the kind of mistakes that will take him to hell. Giving religious instructions (prarupana) in the presence of kashay is the sign of going to hell. Therefore, one should not give religious discourses if one has kashays within him. Now, which kashays? It is a rule that those who have pratyakhyan avaran kashays have a right to give discourses. It is those who have anantanubandhi kashays; those who have not attained samkit (the right vision) have anantanubandhi for sure. If you ask them if they have attained samkit, they will tell you, "No, we have not.' They do not have the right belief (samkit). The one who gives spiritual instructions in the presence of anantanubandhi kashay is considered mithyatvi - one under illusion. What is it called?
Questioner: Mithyatvi.
Dadashri: And mithyatvi means poisonous. Therefore, the Lord has said that if a mithyarvi reads the speech of
Tirthankars, it becomes poison. And if there is mithyarvi speech, mithyatvi books, or religious books, if ever an enlightened being (samkit jiva) were to read them, it becomes nectar (amrut). This is because, when milk is placed in a snake's mouth, it becomes poison.
Today, everywhere there are signs of people going to hell. If 'we' say this openly, it will incite violence and anger and so *we do not say anything. What is the fun of speaking words
