Pure Love
Pure Love
they do not realize that I do not allow those worries to touch or affect me. Worries can debilitate a person; take away his energies, whereas one can do anything if he does not have worries. Worries can destroy a man. So I do everything superficially and do not allow worries to touch me.
Questioner: So really, you would not do anything. If a Mahatma were suffering deeply, would you not do anything?
Dadashri : Of course I would! But it would be superficial. By superficial I mean that all the work is being taken care of but it is taking place in the foreign department. I would not let it affect me. Everything that the relative-self needs to do should be done. One should let all the external processes take place, but without any worries. On the contrary, things become ruined by worries. Are you really asking me to worry?
When you let something affect you, you become involved and the separation of the foreign and home department gets blurred, and you will not accomplish what you set out to do. This is how everyone in this world reacts and that is why nothing is achieved in this world. When I do not let it affect me, it is a protection for the other person and for me also. This is what I mean by the term 'safe-side'.
I have experienced that the outcome is not good when I let it affect me. I lose my energies and the other person's work does not get done. And if I do not let it affect me, then the strength of the Self, energies increase and the other person's work is done.
This science is love itself. There is no anger, pride, attachment and greed in love. If any of these exist then it is not love.
Pure Love Is Above Virtuous Love
Questioner : Everyone in the world is searching for pure love but in vain.
Dadashri : This is the path of pure love. This science of ours is void of desires of any kind. This is the path of pure love. Such a path cannot be found in this era of this time cycle and it is indeed a wonder that it has arisen.
Questioner : Can you explain the difference between pure love and virtuous love?
Dadashri : There is ego involved in virtuous love, whereas in pure love, there is no ego. In virtuous love there is no greed or deceit, but there is pride in it. In virtuous love, one has a sense of being: 'I am'. And in pure love, one feels oneness with everyone, because there is no ego.
Questioner : But is it true that in any activity, good or bad, there is no element of ego. Is it logical?
Dadashri : No. That cannot be. That is wrong, because no activity can be carried out without the ego. Even virtuous activities require the ego.
Questioner : Even for pure love ego is necessary. So how can one do so without the ego? Can the ego and pure love co-exist?
Dadashri : As long as the ego is present, there can never be pure love. Ego and pure love cannot co-exist. When does pure love occur? It is when the ego starts to dissolve and only when the ego completely disappears, that one becomes an embodiment of pure love. The embodiment of pure love is the absolute Self. In the presence of the Absolute Self, The Gnani, one can receive all kinds of blessings. The Absolute Self is
