Hard raudradhyan
Another aspect of dhyan is hard raudradhyan which has
also increased in the current time cycle. Hard raudradhyan
means to take advantage of people with lesser intelligence using
one’s higher intelligence. People take advantage of other people
and hurt them through their intellect; they ‘suck the blood’ out
of people leaving them with only ‘skin and bones’ and yet they
claim to be ahimsak (practicing non-violence towards other
living beings). They claim ‘Ahimsa is the highest religion.’ These
sheths have made such ‘arrangements’ that they sit comfortably
on their soft cushions all day while their farmers toil day and
night. The cream of the crop comes to the sheth’s home while
the workers have barely enough to eat with whatever is left. The
sheths use their higher intellect to take advantage of those with
lesser intellect; they kill their workers slowly and gradually, and
that is hard raudradhyan. Instead it would be better if they were
to kill their workers by cutting them in two, at least that way if
they see blood, they would come to their senses! ‘What have I
done?’ that would be raudradhyan not hard raudradhyan. But in
hard raudradhyan, the mind never falters, instead it becomes
worse. In hard raudradhyan the sheths suck the blood of their
workers without shedding a drop. Now how can anyone tackle
something like this? There is absolutely no end to this. The
consequences of hard raudradhyan are very grave indeed; not
even the seventh hell is befitting for such hard raudradhyan. So,
is it not important to understand hard raudradhyan and updhyan
in great details? What do you think? Or do you think it is not
necessary to understand?
Questioner : One will have to understand, Dada.
Dadashri : The current time cycle is that of the dusham
kaal (aka Kaliyug – an era of destruction), 2500 years after
Lord Mahavir. So everyone has made mistakes. All ascetics and
alike have erred too. With the exception of just a few, all
ascetics continue to do artadhyan, raudradhyan and updhyan
