________________ Pure Love Pure Love How can one become a God when one still has infatuation and attraction? How can there be union between infatuation and attraction and love? How can one be a God when one has anger within? Questioner: So there should not be any infatuation and attraction in anything we do, we should not let karma bind... Dadashri : But infatuation and attraction will remain in a person, it is naturally there because the fundamental blunder is not broken. The root cause of his blunder should be destroyed. What is the root cause? It is his belief of 'I am Chandubhai' (believing his relative self to be his Real Self). When someone insults or accuses Chandubhai, he becomes very angry. This is his infatuation, his weakness, and his illusion of attachment. This wrong belief is the root cause and the biggest blunder. There is no other blunder. The fundamental blunder is that you do not know who you really are and you believe yourself to be that which you are not. Chandubhai is a name given to you for the purpose of identification. People will say. This is Chandubhai. He is an income tax officer,' or 'He is this lady's husband' etc. These are all means of identification only. But all these problems have arisen because you do not have the awareness of your real Self. Questioner: The ultimate problem lies there, does it not? Whatever element God is made of, you become that element. That, which is eternal, is liberation. That which remains always, that is liberation. The Way Of The Liberated One : Dadashri Questioner : Dada, how did you become liberated? Dadashri : It was "but natural" (Dadashri's own words). I do not know how it all happened! Questioner : But now you know, don't you? Please show us these steps. Dadashri : I did not set out to do anything. Nothing happened. What did I set out to do, and what actually happened? I simply set out to make some khir (dessert) but instead ended up with nectar amrut). All the ingredients from past lives came together. I knew that I had something special within me. I knew that much and because of that I felt a sense of pride and a certain smugness. Questioner : I thought that if you would describe the process of how you became enlightened then and I would understand that process. Dadashri : If you take this Gnan, and follow my Agna, that is enlightenment. After that it does not matter what you eat, drink or wear, as long as you abide by my Agnas, you are absolutely unattached. These Agnas are protection for your unattached state. Dadashri : That is the root cause, and one will find a solution when it is destroyed. You see things as good and bad because of your intellect. What is the function of the intellect? It always looks for profit and loss, advantages and disadvantages, wherever it goes. Besides this it has no other function. Now you have to get away from this intellect. You should remain as the Self, the unattached. You should become the Self, the One beyond all attachment and abhorrence. The real nature of the Self is that it is above all attachment and abhorrence. You too should become that. All that is needed is to change your nature, come home to your real nature away from your false nature.
