Pure Love
As Long As There Is Attraction There Is Tension
Questioner: It is believed that where there are more feelings, there is more love.
Dadashri : There is no love there at all! It is all infatuation and attraction. There is no such word as love in this world. To even utter the word 'love' is wrong. It is all infatuation and attraction from within.
Questioner: Then what are all these feelings and sentiments? Can you please explain?
Dadashri: All this sentimental behavior falls under 'emotions'. When a person does not remain 'in motion' (the Self), he becomes 'emotional'.
Questioner: In the English language there are two words'feelings' and 'emotions'.
Dadashri : Yes, but 'feelings' and 'emotions' are two different things. Sentiments and sentimentality fall under the 'emotional' because they cross the boundaries of normality.
As long there is any degree of sentimentality, and as long as there is infatuation and attraction, the person will have tension and it will show on his face. I have love, which is why I live without any tension. No one else can live without tension. Everyone has tension. This whole world has tension!
Gnani Is The River Of Feelings
The Gnani Purush has feelings but they do not touch him internally. He remains as He is, separate and natural. There is no rule that requires that the feelings be felt internally and touch the Self. How can a person be called a human being if he has no feelings?

Questioner: You said that even you have feelings. You have also said that your feelings are like ours, but are higher than ours, because they are for everyone.
Dadashri : Yes I have feelings. I can never be without
feelings.
Questioner: And yet these feelings do not 'touch' you?
Dadashri: Yes, I allow these feelings to sit where they belong naturally, in the non-Self, the foreign department. Whereas you make the mistake of letting them sit in a place, which is not natural for it, the realm of the self.
Questioner: Please clarify that demarcation.
Dadashri : One needs to keep separate the foreign (nonself) and the home (Self). Keep that which belongs to the foreign department in the foreign department, do not bring it home. Whatever goes on in the foreign department, the non-self should not be allowed to touch the home, the Self. Enter the home after leaving everything in the foreign department.
Questioner: But under the force of the feelings it is difficult to maintain this separation between foreign and home.
Dadashri : Why would it not remain separate for the ones who have taken Gnan?
Questioner: I want to understand how you apply that.
Dadashri : I leave the feeling in the foreign department and then enter the home department. If the feeling tries to enter I say, 'sit outside'. Whereas you folks say, ' come on in my dear, welcome'.
The Results Of The Detached State People tell me that I worry about them. That is true but
