same time, 'Dada Bhagwan na aseem jai jaikar ho' continues within. What is that?
Dadashri: If there is an oil mill in your neighborhood and you hear the churning of the wheels in the mill, and you are sitting here spinning a spinning wheel, what would you do? It is the same with the mind; the mind keeps spinning round and round. You just have to keep seeing' it. Whether it is a good thought or a bad thought, You just have to keep 'seeing' it.
Now how can you stop your neighbor from speaking? Say we are doing satsang here, in your study room, what is it to you if there is a riot going on outside? The mind is a gneya (that which is to be known) and You are a Knower (Gnata); and this is how the mind is under your control. 'We too have a mind until 'we' attain final moksha. But what is our mind like? It continues to move forward like the second hand on the clock; it does not stop anywhere. 'Our mind has come to an end. The mind comes to an end if you remain its 'KnowerSeer.
mistakes from one's current age, say age 35 to 34 to 33, and all the way back. Then It (the Self) 'sees' violence (himsa) related mistakes, and kashay mistakes (mistakes of anger-pridedeceit-greed). There is only the Self in all this. The mind, the intellect (buddhi), etc., remain idle.
To keep 'seeing' is considered samayik, whereas this worldly samayik is considered pratikraman.
Questioner: Can karma be washed off just with samayik or do I have to do pratikraman for it?
Dadashri: One has to do pratikraman. This is called samayik-pratikraman. Samayik means that external interactions stop and prarikraman means that it continues within.
Questioner: We get together and do samayik. What should we all do in that?
Dadashri: Do more samayik on the topic of sexuality (vishay). First take the pratikraman for mistakes of sexuality and go back all the way to your childhood. Then do pratikraman for the roonanubandha. Roonanubandha means all those you have met interaction with others due to karmic connection from the past) and do their pratikraman. Then by seeing himsa (violence) related mistakes, the subatomic particles (parmanus) of himsa will go away. By doing samayik on sexuality, the subatomic particles (parmanus) of sexuality will go away.
One can recognize that there are tubers of kashay or vishay, but it is not possible to understand them through external, worldly interaction. And that is why 'we' tell you to see those tubers in samayik. When You try to dissolve one tuber in the samayik, another tuber will sprout within, then you will see the thoughts. This will not allow you to have upayog (focused, awakened awareness) on the tuber. During such a time, see whatever arises in front of You.
Questioner: What is the difference between vyavahar samayik (worldly samayik) and nischay samayik (samayik of the Self)? Which is more beneficial?
Dadashri: Nischay samayik! Vyavahar samayik (worldly samayik) occurs through the mind and nischay samayik occurs through the Self. Vyavahar samayik is to focus the mind and not allow it to wander around on the outside. Questioner: What is the fruit of the vyavahar samayik?
(542) Dadashri: Punyanubandhi punya (merit karma which binds more merit karma).
Nischay samayik makes You further established as the Self- Shuddhatma. Then It (the Self) starts to see sexual
