belongs to the non-Self and You have to ‘know’ that it is wrong,
and that it is harmful. You bind opinion through your own fault,
your own mistake and your own viewpoint. What right do you
have to form an opinion?
Questioner: If we form an opinion that we cannot erase
it, do we bind karma?
Dadashri: If you have attained this Akram Vignan and
you have the knowledge of separation between the Self and the
non-Self, then You will not bind karma. And yes, if you do not
do pratikraman for the opinion, it will continue to have an
effect on the other person, and he will not have a good feeling
about you. You will not bind karma if you live with a clear inner
intent (bhaav; conscience) and with pratikraman, even its
effect will disappear. Purusharth is to ‘divide’ by seven if it was
‘multiplied’ by seven.
Everything, from birth to death, is in the hands of
‘scientific circumstantial evidence’ (vyavasthit) so what is the
point in having opinions? Having attained the knowledge of the
Self, and after attaining the Gnata-gneya connection (where
you remain the Knower of all that is to be known), ridding
yourself of the few remaining opinions, you pass ‘with honors’!
You cannot see things as they are because of opinions,
and you cannot experience the bliss of liberation, because
opinion shrouds it. When you have no opinion left, you can
become faultless (nirdosh). Once you attain the knowledge of
the Self, You are considered free (mukta), even if you do have
opinions, but you are not yet supremely free (maha-mukta).
Your experience of infinite bliss is halted because of opinions.
The ‘causes’ that you had of the past life, come into effect
in this life. But to give opinion about the ‘effect’ that ‘this is good’
or ‘this is bad’ causes attachment and abhorrence (raag-dwesh).
Causes are not bound by actions; they are bound by opinions.
