Pure Love
Pure Love
Questioner : Without emotion, would a person not become like a rock?
Dadashri : I am 'emotionless'; do I look like a rock? I do not have any 'emotions' at all. One with 'emotions above and below normal) becomes mechanical' (the non-Self) but one who is 'in motion' (normality) will not become 'mechanical (remains as the Self).
Questioner : But if a person, who has not attained Self Realization, were to be without 'emotions', would he not appear like a rock?
Dadashri : That cannot happen! It can never happen. Otherwise people will become insane. Even the insane are emotional. The whole world is emotional.
Tears Do Not Express Real feelings
One gets used to wherever one sleeps on, if one sleeps on a mat he gets used to that mat and if one sleeps on a Dunlop mattress, he will get used to that too. If you ask the one who insists upon sleeping on the mat, to sleep on the Dunlop mattress, he would not be able to sleep. Insistence is poison and the absence of insistence is nectar. Until one attains the state where one becomes free of all insistence, the love of the world will not be acquired. Pure love is born out of non-insistence and pure love is the Supreme Lord.
One becomes an embodiment of love when one does not look for rules and regulations. If you look for rules and regulations, you cannot become the embodiment of love. Love is not to be found with the one who asks, 'why are you late?' When you are the embodiment of love, people listen to you. If you have infatuation and attraction, who would listen to you? You need money, you need other women, is that not infatuation and attraction? Even the need to have disciples is infatuation and attraction.
There Is No Emotion In Love Questioner : It is said that real love arises from the heart. Emotions also arise from the heart, do they not?
Dadashri : No. That is not love. Love is pure. What would happen to the passengers in a train, if the train were to become 'emotional'?
Questioner : There would be a problem. There would be an accident.
Dadashri : People would die. Similarly, when a person becomes emotional, innumerable organisms die within that person's body. He becomes responsible for it. There are many such responsibilities that arise when one becomes emotional in this manner.
Questioner : You have to express feelings to live in this world. You have to display feelings. If you do not show any feelings, then people will think you are insensitive. Now along with receiving this Gnan, comes the understanding of the Gnan. Then our feelings are not so easily expressed. Should they not be expressed in our daily life?
Dadashri : You just have to observe what happens.
Questioner : Say for example if the son is going abroad for his education and the parents go to see him off at the airport. The mother starts to cry but not the father. People will say that he has no feelings, he is like a stone.
Dadashri : No. His feelings are not like that. So what if the son is going abroad? If she is overcome with tears and starts to cry, you should gently say, 'how long are you going to
