Aptavani-2
the non-self are natural occurrences. No one is independently
responsible for their creation, and that is vyavasthit (scientific
circumstantial evidences).’ When You say this much then, with
the support of these Gnan words, You will be able to remain in
‘your’ natural state. Since the beginning of time, prakruti makes
one asahaj (unnatural and reactive). Now through Gnan, one
brings it to its natural state. In reality, prakruti is sahaj, natural
and spontaneous, but it becomes unnatural due to its tendency
to react to situations and circumstances (vibhavik bhaav),
because of ignorance. It has to be brought back into its natural
state through the support of Gnan. Once the interference
(dakho) into the relative (I am Chandulal), i.e. the worldly self
ceases prakruti becomes sahaj. The Self then remains in bliss as
the knower and the seer.
If Gnan prevails then even if you have to spend entire
night waiting for the train, you will not have any problems.
Whereas a person without Gnan will become so agitated that
within half an hour he will be cursing everyone. Is the train or the
guard going to be affected by his cursing? No, one is only
slinging mud onto his own self. If there is Gnan, then the Self
merely remains the observer of the difficulties that arise in a
difficult situation as well as the ease in an easy situation; that
verily is the sahaj Atma. This Gnan that ‘we’ have given you is
such that it will not agitate you in the least. There would be no
problems even if you were to be hung, because that too is
vyavasthit. If that is going to happen then why not leave the
world laughingly instead of crying?
Prakruti is reactive by nature
The nature of the prakruti is like the touch-me-not plant; the
moment you touch the plant it withdraws its leaves. When you get
frustrated and tell your children, “I am tired of you”, his or her
prakruti will instantly withdraw and pull away just like the plant.
Therefore, you should tell your child, “I am not really tired of you”
and remedy the situation, then he will not withdraw from you.
