out; it will make the world speechless. It has been uncovered ‘as
it is’, otherwise there would be hyperactivity and restlessness
here too and Dada would not let you drink even a cup of tea
in peace. He will say, “Get up, haven’t you finished drinking
your tea yet? Come and do bhajan, let’s have some action!” But
there is no agitation or any other such thing here. There is no
restlessness in the Self; it is the Supreme Self. Do you think that
the Self would be crazy like this? If we become like the Self,
then we will acquire it.
Now how can my talks appeal to everyone? I am trying
to get rid of the word ‘pramaad’ (laziness) once and for all.
Here people get rid of the lazy self and move towards the
agitated and the restless one. In this back and forth, when will
you attain the real Self? You already had a lazy atma, and then
you move towards a fidgety one. At least the lazy atma was
better; it would not hurl ‘rocks’ at anyone. With this hyperactive
atma, you even shove people sometimes. Lazy people do not
have such problems; those poor guys will walk slowly. This does
not mean that ‘we’ like lazy people, but why do you have so
much abhorrence towards laziness and such attachment for the
hyperactive? You want to get rid of raag-dwesh and yet you do
raag-dwesh, how can that be acceptable? How can we handle
people who would not let us drink a cup of tea in peace? They
will shove and prod us even before we pour milk in our tea.
That is how strict the Kramic path is. Krupaludev told
Prabhushri, “Go and learn Sanskrit.” Prabhushri said, “I am 46
year old. How can I learn at this age and when will I be able
to master it? Instead, show me another way.” So Krupaludev
replied, “Queen Victoria is 76 year old and she is learning many
different languages. At the age of 76 she is learning our language
so why would you not be able to master your own mother
language?
