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.
