Dadashri: In the same way, everything here remains separate. There are ways to keep everything separate. The Soul is separate and so are the body and the mind..
I have not kept my chit in my business during my entire life. I have done business and worked for it but I have never had my chit in it. (118)
Questioner: I worry about my business. I encounter lots of difficulties.
Dadashri: As soon as the worries start, you should understand that your work would be ruined. The work will not be ruined if the worries are not present. Worries are obstructive to work. A business can be destroyed because of worries. It is the nature of business to increase and decrease. Anything that increases will eventually decrease. No one can stop this process.

For that matter, even for your business you are free to think for ten or fifteen minutes but if things go beyond this time, things become complicated and you go beyond normality. Let go at this time. Thoughts about your business are inevitable, but when you become one with those thoughts, those thoughts will linger and will divert your attention and that is when you will have worries. This will cause a great loss. (120)
Questioner: What should I do if I decide that I do not want to engage in artadhyana or raudradhyana, but if my shop is going into a loss and I have no choice but to do so?

If I did not say this, it would have meant that I was not interested and then it would sink for sure. By saying 'It is not my wish', the words would give effect and if the ship were to sink, then I would know that at least I did speak to it.
So in this world you have to make adjustments everywhere, in order to accomplish anything. The nature of the mind is such that if it does not get what it wants, it becomes depressed. That is why we have to resort to different tactics. Then if that steamer were to sinks after a few months, I would make an adjustment that at least it lasted six months. Business means sink or swim. Palaces of expectations are like a house of cards. They will bring
This process of filling does not affect our true wealth, the Self. The Self does not increase or decrease. That is how pure the worldly dealings are. This purity is because of this separation. Are not your children and wife partners in your business?
Questioner: They are my partners in my happiness and sorrow.
Dadashri: You are their guardian so why should the guardian alone do the worrying? Besides they tell you not to worry about them.
Questioner: What is the nature of worries? Worries were not there when we were born, so where did they come from?
Dadashri: As a person's intellect increases, so will his internal suffering. Was the intellect there when you were born? In business it is necessary for you to think but if you go beyond
