can experience the state of the siddha when they still have their
kashays. Ask them, “Maharaj you still have kashaya, do you
not?” and they will say, “The kashays are still there.” Then you
can say, “Then you are not a karan-siddha.” The maharaj
himself will say, “No, I am a sansari.” If you ask them, will they
not tell you so? They will. If they say that they are free of
kashays, then you will immediately find out when you provoke
them. They will get irritated even before you provoke them.
People who are restless and troubled will become agitated and
restless even while they are talking.
Hyperactivity and laziness : worldly and spiritual
Do not become panicky and hyper (raghavatio) under
any circumstance. The Self is never so, it is the absolute
supreme, so is there any need for restlessness? Drink tea, have
snacks, play music, do everything. Instead everyone is caught up
in overt restlessness. The Gnanis of the Kramic path will not let
their disciples drink even a glass of water in peace. If someone
is drinking water and takes too long, they will tell him, “Move
from here. You are being spiritually lazy (pramaadi).” They do
not let anyone drink water peacefully. They are restless and
always in a hurry. The heck with your label of laziness
(pramaad)! Take your label of ‘spiritual laziness’ with you and
go home. We don’t want such a moksha! How can we follow
such a path of moksha where the master does not even allow
us to drink water? Have you seen such hyperactivity on the
spiritual path?
Questioner : I have indeed! I have spent two years with
these types of sadhus!
Dadashri : There, the word ‘pramaad’ (spiritual apathy)
causes intense hyperactivity. Instead of that why don’t you do
pramaad so that your agitation can be allayed? What a
contradiction!
