Aptavani-2
a Gnani Purush and attain Gnan, then a mind that has gone
astray will fall back on the right track.
Questioner : I had toiled ten years for this, before I met
you, Dada.
Dadashri : Did you not do the same in your past life?
You have done the same thing for infinite past lives. What is the
mind? Do you not have to know that? Who are its parents?
Where is its location? Who gave birth to it? How can it
dissolve? Do you not have to know all this? Who placed it?
Questioner : God did.
Dadashri : For what? For pain or for pleasure?! Why
did the Lord do that? Is it in order to make everyone miserable?
The Lord does not interfere in this at all; He does not put His
hand in this production. It is but natural and the Lord sitting
within listens to all this; He even laughs, “Why is Chandulal
behaving like this?” We are all a part of the samsaran marg (the
path of spiritual and physical evolution). The Samsaran marg
means that which changes continuously. In this path, the mind is
the last station, (the human mind is the highest evolved state).
This mind of yours will become the mind of your next life. The
Gnani Purush knows what the mind is. How will the mind be
stilled? Do you make attempts to still the mind?
Questioner : I try to do that everyday.
Dadashri : Are You the one doing it or Chandulal? You
are not the one attempting to control it; Chandulal is doing it. It
is possible to control the mind if You try, but you will have to
decide who you really are, will you not? Once that is decided
then your work will be accomplished. What is your mind like
right now? Is it okay?
The mind is a boat that takes you to moksha
Questioner : There is infinite peace right now.
