Aptavani-2
Dadashri : When one has the experience of the Self
(Atma), as the supreme Self (parmatma) then he indeed is the
supreme Self, and when he has the experience of Shuddhatma,
then he is Shuddhatma. And, the worldly people have the
experience of being the worldly self (muddhatma). ‘This is my
uncle, this is my aunt, this is my mother-in-law’s aunt’s son etc,’
is anant-chit. It is because of the anant-chit that one can

When he knows this i.e. when he knows his real Self; after Self-

process of taking on the form of the object being seen (to
become gneyakar). That chit can see the tables and the chairs
at home, but it cannot see the Shuddhatma (the Self).
Questioner : Is chit dictated by karma?
Dadashri : Yes, but if the chit becomes still then it is
good. Otherwise, one is trapped if it gets stuck somewhere. It
will remain stuck there, no matter how hard the mind tries to
divert it to get it unstuck. As it is the anant-chit already exists but
it is very difficult to bring it into anek-chit. One’s work will be
done when the chit becomes ‘ek-chit’. This is possible with our
Gnan.
From anant-chit to anek-chit means that one can keep a
