that fall in that sequence will come in your hand. The number
two will follow one; three will follow two. There will a link
there. But if there is a fruition of non-sequence (akram), the
numbers you pick up will not be in sequence. You will pick up

I met a man from Ratnagiri once who told me that he
finds gold wherever he searches. I cautioned him that it was the
result of his link of merit karma and that the link will break in
a short time. When it does, I told him to remember me. And
that is exactly what happened. He incurred such heavy losses
in his business that both he and his wife tried to commit suicide.
The circumstances were such that they both survived and they
remembered what I had told them. Kram (sequence of events)
and akram (non sequential events) come and go. Such is the
worldly life. Desire is a consequence of past account and during
chintvan one is creating plans; one becomes engrossed in it and
creates new causes. Desire is an effect whereas chintvan is a
cause; it is a charging point. The writers of scriptures have said
that desires come on their own; one does not need to create
them.
Even when the sun is setting it can appear to look like a
rising sun. Your desires are ‘setting’ desires; so do not worry
about them. I have told my mahatmas that their desires are
barren; they will not bear any seeds and that is why your desires
are setting. Other people have both rising and setting desires.
Rising desire is cause desire and setting desire is effect desire.
In this current phase of the Kaliyug time cycle, people

desire to enjoy everything. They waste away their whole life
looking for something very trivial.

Mahavir’s assembly, who in order not miss the Lord’s discourse,
