before Gnan. At the time, I kept worrying and was restless all night long. Then I received the answer from within. Who else is worried at this moment because of this loss? I felt that my partner might not be worrying at this moment. I found that I was the only one worrying. Although my wife and children are all sharers or partners, they do not know what is going on. Now, they don't even know and yet things are working along fine for them. I was the only fool who worried. When others, who were my partners, were not worrying, why should I be the one to carry all the load of the worry?
Think but do not worry
so many difficulties in my business.
Dadashri : When the worries commence, you should know that things are going to get worse. When you do not worry, you should understand that the work would be completed well. Worry is an impediment to any work. Worries kill the business. That which goes up and comes down is called business; it is puran-galan (input-output). Where there has been puran (input) there is bound to be galan (output) None of our wealth, the wealth of The Self, is to be found in that which increases and decreases. Our real wealth (the Self) is constant. It does not increase or decrease. The world interaction is exact. In your house, your sons and daughterin-laws are all partners, are they not?
Questioner : They share the joy and the pain.
Dadashri : You are considered the guardian of your wife and children. Why should only the guardian worry? People at home tell you not to worry about them. Will you gain anything from worrying?
Questioner : No, nothing.
Dadashri : There is nothing to be gained through worries. Then why would someone do a business like that? If there is any gain to be had from worry then you should do it.
But what is worry? When a thought goes beyond a certain level it is called a worry. Thinking has to be done up to a certain level which should not exceed its limits. What is normality in thinking? It is normal as long as it is does not distress you. Once it goes beyond that and puzzles you, troubles you, you should stop. After the limit is reached, it turns into worry. This is what I have discovered.
One does not have a right to worry. One has a right to think but when it results in worry, one should stop. An above normal thought is called a worry. Even I do thinking, but once it gets above normal and begins to churn my stomach, I stop.
Worry goes with understanding
You need to be very bold in order to do business. If you lose courage, your business will fail too.
At one time our business suffered a loss. This was
Questioner : Ordinarily if we keep a watch internally, it is a thought, but if it becomes a worry would it then be considered an entanglement?
Dadashri : When you worry, that is entanglement. Worries arise because one believes that, I am doing all
