Aptavani-4
Questioner: Does the ego play a part in deciding the
goal (dhyeya)?
Dadashri: It is the ego that decides the goal (dhyeya).
Once you have the goal (dhyeya) of moksha, and a dhyata that
is egoless, then that is shukladhyan.
Questioner: Is there a subtle presence of the ego in the
dhyeya of dharmadhyan?
Dadashri: Yes, there is. Dharmadhyan cannot occur
without the ego’s presence.
Questioner: Would you say that artadhyan,
raudradhyan and dharmadhyan, are states of the pudgal
(non-Self complex)?
Dadashri: Yes, those are states of the pudgal, and
shukladhyan is a state of the Self.
Questioner: So could you say that shukladhyan is the
result of the Self?
Dadashri: Yes.
Questioner: Is it true that karmas that arise in
shukladhyan will be good, and those that occur in dharmadhyan
will be slightly inferior?
Dadashri: If one has shukladhyan, in the Kramic path,
then there will not be any charging of karma. This is the Akram
path, and the karma here, have no ‘doership’. They occur in the
form of ‘discharge’. You have attained this Gnan without even
having to discharge your karma first!
Results of Dhyan
Dhyan yields its fruit (consequences). What are the fruits
of raudradhyan? It gives rise to an evil disposition within a
person.
