Aptavani-2
is the point of coming back as a human being again in this
universe? What is to be gained from staying in this universe?
There is pending doom of the approaching sixth Ara (time cycle
of increasing destruction and degradation). Do something that
will allow you to move away from this universe into another. It
is possible to change your location; you have at your disposal all
the means and instruments of the vitarag path. Today you have
the support and the foundation of all the scriptures of Lord
Mahavir, Lord Krishna, Vedanta and all other religions. The
moment the sixth Ara begins, there will be no scriptures or
religion. There will be nothing but doom and destruction. After
eighteen thousand years, there will be nothing but darkness; this
is what the vitarag Lords have seen in their vision. ‘We’ do not
have to say anything. This is not what ‘we’ are saying but what
the vitarag Lords have said. ‘We’ are just telling you what the
description is. It is the talk of vitarags, which is flowing through
this medium of ‘ours’. Will you not have to understand at least
some of it? How can you allow things to go on without the
understanding? Have you ever allowed yourself to be fooled
deliberately? To do so is one of the highest mahavrat (major
vow) of this Kaliyug (dusham kaal, the current era of this time
cycle). There is no better vow than this for this current time
period. Surely, we must attain the right path, must we not?
Questioner : People have turned excessively towards
rituals.
Dadashri : It is because they did not find the right path.
But even if the path had turned towards rituals, it would not have
been a problem because they would be rewarded with the fruits
of their rituals. If a man were to plant a nutmeg seed, he would
be able to use the nutmeg that tree would bear, to put in desserts
like basundi or shrikhand, but one can only reap the fruits if he
sows the seed. So there is nothing wrong with their rituals, but
all kinds of deceptive intents behind their rituals (deceptive
dhyans) have arisen in the process. Dhyans that feed the mind
