Aptavani-1 241
( symbolic biers of Husain the martyr of Islam taken into procession on his anniversary day in the month of Moharrum). The Moslem friend became very excited when he saw the Tajiyas and could not resist the urge to join the procession. He told his friend he would be back in a few minutes. He got into the thick of the procession and started shouting,‘ Ya Housey …. Housey’. His friend waited patiently as the minutes turned into half an hour but his friend would not leave the procession. The baniya would signal every five minutes for him to come out, but he would not. Finally after an hour, the Baniya got tired and grabbed hold of his friend’ s arm to pull him out, but instead found himself being dragged in the procession. The Muslim friend told him that they would do two more minutes of‘ Housey, Housey …’, and then leave. So then the Moslem friend started shouting‘ Housey … Housey …’ and the baniya friend, with a saddened face joined in by shouting‘ Ayi Fasaya … Ayi Fasaya!’(‘ I am trapped, I am trapped’).
That is the kind of world this is. Once trapped, it is difficult to get out. Only a Gnani Purush can pull you out. The world is a trap of wrong beliefs and illusions. Only upon elimination of the wrong beliefs is release possible. But how can you get rid of the wrong beliefs and the illusion? It happens only when the Gnani awakens you by shaking you from your deep sleep of ignorance. No one else can do that. Without His help, the more you try to be free, the more you entangle yourself.
Charge And Discharge
Darshan moha( illusion due to wrong belief leading to worldly attachment and new karma) is‘ charge moha’ and charitra moha( effect of past life’ s moha, illusion, which does not bind new karma) is‘ discharge moha’. Water is darshan moha and ice is charitra moha. What causes the charging to take place?
Charging occurs when chetan( the Self) comes in contact
