obstructing karma (gnan-avarniya karma and darshan-avarniya karma, respectively). Or if someone was about to receive Selfrealization and you interfere in the process, then you have caused an obstruction for your self for Self-realization. You also create an obstruction when someone invites you to meet a Gnani Purush and you tell that person that you have seen many such Gnanis and use derogatory words. Human beings speak without thinking, but even if they do so in ignorance, they create an obstruction. If on the other hand you have a sincere inner wish to go and meet the Gnani Purush but are not able to do so, then your wish will break that obstruction. The person who creates obstructive karma does so in ignorance; he has no awareness about what he is doing.
Living beings have created so many obstructions. Here is a Gnani Purush who is giving you liberation in your hands. He gives you a state free of worries and yet there are so many obstructions that one is not able to attain this state.
Some people question the validity of Akram Vignan. They ask, "How can Akram Vignan be possible? How is it possible to attain moksha in just one hour?" The moment they question this, they create an obstacle for themselves. There is no telling what can happen in this world, so do not try to analyze this world with your intellect. Akram Vignan is a fact. It has happened. There exists many obstructing karmas, especially for the Scientific approach to the Self. This Akram Vignan is the last station in this era for liberation.
Questioner : This worldly life itself is such that it is full of obstructions.
Dadashri : You are the Supreme Self but you do not experience the benefits of that state, because of the presence of innumerable obstructions. The moment you say, "I am Chandubhai," you create an obstruction. You offend the Lord within. Even when you say this unknowingly, you create an
obstruction. What happens if you stick your hand in a fire unknowingly?
Questioner : When two people are talking and we interrupt, do we create interference or is it merely a discharge of our karmas?
Dadashri : Interference created leads to disruption. Questioner : What do you mean, how?
Dadashri : If one of them asks you why you interrupted and you tell him you will not do it again, then it is not interference. If instead you say, 'Nothing will work if I did not say anything and everything will go wrong. This is called interference. This too is a discharge (dissipation of karma). However, new interference is created simultaneously as the old one is discharging.
Interference-disruption in itself is an obstruction. You are the supreme Soul. How can there be any obstructions for the supreme Soul? All the same, people continue to interfere by asking, "Why did you do that?" or by saying, "He did this," or "Do it this way."
When you tell someone he is wrong, it is the same as throwing dirt over your own soul.
You should say things that you like to hear yourself. Project on to the world as you would prefer. Everything around you is your own projection. God does not interfere in anything. Whatever words you throw at others will eventually come back at you. Use pure speech so that the same pure speech is returned to you.
I never tell anyone, 'You are wrong. Even if that person is a thief, I do not say anything because he is correct according to his viewpoint. I would however, explain to him the consequences of his actions.
