unfold will only unravel when the time is ripe. The power to
unravel these entanglements is not in your hands. That is why the
Lord has said to do dharmadhyan, or devotional worship of
God instead of worrying and waiting for the entanglement to
unravel. When your hair grows long, do you have to run around
for a haircut? No, because circumstances come together and
you will get a hair cut. Similarly these entanglements will unravel
when the time comes.
The world is a puzzle itself. It is a puzzle. It has become like
a puzzle. If you solve the puzzle then your work will be done.
“Lakha re chorashini bhool-bhoolamni na fera mara kaun
tade.”
“Who will bring an end to my wanderings of the eighty-four
lakhs (84,000,000) lives cycle and pull me out of this labyrinth?”
How can you escape from this cycle of eighty-four million
rebirths? Who will help you get out? Krupaludev has said that
any embodied soul that escapes the wanderings of the cycle of
eighty-four lakh rebirths, is considered a great one indeed.
By meeting a Gnani Purush, you have now found the way
to escape from this horrible web. What can a Gnani Purush do
for your mistakes? He can only show you your mistakes; He can
only shed light on them. He shows you the way out by telling
you not to protect your mistakes. If you protect your mistakes
by saying, “I have to live in this world, how can I do that?” then
you are nurturing your mistakes. Do not side with your mistakes.
First you make a mistake, then you lament endlessly, for that you
will have to wander endlessly.
If you want complete freedom and liberty, you will attain
it after you destroy all your mistakes. You can only find those
mistakes when you realize who you really are. This happens
when you become the Self.
