acquired Gnan to speak with such awareness. If they make the effort (purushaarth), they can have this awareness during their speech, because their true purushaarth only begins after they become a Purush (the Self); otherwise true purushaarth is not possible.
Questioner: How can the understanding acquired in this life help improve our speech? Please explain with an example.
Dadashri : If someone were to insult you right now, it would affect you internally. You may retaliate mentally, 'You are worthless, but the real You (Self) is not involved in this reaction. Once you have become the Self, you are eternally separate from all that is the non-Self. That is why You are separate from the above interaction. Without Self-Realization, one speaks as if he is ill or dying.
Questioner : Would this understanding help those who have not had the separation of the Self from the non-Self, the
However, it is difficult to receive this grace.
Everything can be improved through the Gnani's Agnas, because it is a security fence, which will prevent you from entering into another life.
Questioner : What do you mean by 'into another life'?
Dadashri : It means that it will not let you fall back into worldly life.
Speech without ownership cannot be found in the world. Such speech can break all obstacles, but one should know how to satisfy and keep the Gnani happy. Such a speech can break through everything. If in just one hour, the Gnani can destroy your karmas of countless past lives, then what can He not do? There is no doership in the Gnani. It is not possible to have speech without ownership. Nevertheless, one must never question its existence. In fact, this occurrence of the owner-less speech is not an exception. It is a fact now. But if you want to rationalize its existence, then everything is vyavasthit, but you will not reap its full benefits. (If you say it was vyavasthit and that you acquired Self-Realization because of your merit karma so be it, but if you say it happened because of the Gnani's Agnas rather than vyavasthit, that makes Dada your whole and your sole. It is the Gnani's grace that prevents us from perpetuating the worldly life; therefore the protection is because of the Gnani rather than vyavasthit. If you take the approach that it is Dada and his Agnas that has made the changes, then you will reap full benefits.)
Questioner : Please let the memory of this carry forward in our next life.

Dadashri : Yes, but he will say things as they are and later repent for what he said.
If you want to improve your speech you must stop using hurtful speech towards others. You can also improve your speech if you do not see faults in others and if you avoid conflicts.
Questioner: If I want to improve my speech now, how can I do so?
Dadashri : You cannot improve your speech yourself because that speech has already been recorded'.
Questioner : Yes. That is exactly why. It has become vyavasthit.
Dadashri : Yes. If you decide that you do not like your speech and you want your speech to be just like Dada's, it will happen. It will depend on whatever you decide.
When making a 'tender' (bid) for your next life, make a
Dadashri : It has become vyavasthit but now here through the grace and compassion of the Gnani Purush, it can be changed.
