and experience the bliss of freedom as you enjoy worldly
comforts. In addition, there is no artadhyan or raudradhyan.
Here you will experience the samayik of Pooniya shravak!
(Pooniya shravak, so named after his profession of making
pooniyo, i.e. wicks for oil lamps. He was a devotee of Lord
Mahavir. As he worked, his mind would be on his work but his
chit solely on the Lord. So perfect was his contemplation of the
Lord that it came to be the epitome of all samayiks. His samayik
had such a power that one could prevent a birth in hell).
Otherwise, people’s contemplation is constantly in
artadhyan and raudradhyan but regardless of what they do, the
amount of money they will make will only be the amount that is
coming to them (due to their punya). The Lord has said that
money will come to you if you do dharmadhyan but it will go
away with artadhyan and raudradhyan. Nevertheless, people
resort to the latter two, in order to make more money. A person
can only make money if he has accumulated punya in his karmic
account from the past. You will attain everything through the
grace of this ‘Dada’. Why? It is because His grace breaks all
obstacles in life. Money is always there but it does not come to
you because you have created obstacles in your past life. These
obstacles will be broken through ‘our’ grace and then you will
attain everything. Dada’s grace will destroy all obstacles that
cause diseases of the mind, body and speech, along with all
other pain-inflicting obstacles. All suffering that can be experienced
in the world is destroyed here.
A man may be very wealthy as an owner of two mills, but
his alcoholic son will beat him and shout abuses at him every
day. He can neither bear his pain nor can he say anything out in
the open. This is the kind of suffering people have to suffer. This
worldly life is nothing but a place of pain and suffering. Even the
legendary emperors abandoned their entire empire and ran
away, and yet here people do not feel like leaving even their little
huts! What kind of attachment is this that keeps people bound?
