(vinaya). Humility is foremost a thing for the path of moksha.
There should not be even a single negative thought about the
Gnani Purush.
Questioner: What should I do when I have the inner
intent (bhaav) to come here, but the pudgal maya (illusory
attachment to the worldly things) prevents me?
Dadashri: That itself is obstructing karma (antaray
karma). If your inner intent (bhaav) is strong, then one day it
will come to an end. Antaray karma is achetan (lifeless) and
your inner intent (bhaav) is now joined with the chetan
(animate; alive), so as a result, the obstacles can be destroyed.
And during the vidhis (special energizing blessings of the Gnani
Purush) if you keep asking the Gnani Purush to destroy your
obstacles, he will. The power and energy of the Gnani Purush’s
words (vachanbud) will destroy your obstacles. If you feel a
deep regret for not being able to attend satsang (assembly of
Self-realized persons), then your obstacles will be destroyed.
Questioner: Can obstacles break on their own accord,
or do you need purusharth (Self-effort) to destroy them?
Dadashri: They are destroyed through your inner intent
(bhaav). When the time comes for the obstacles to be
destroyed, that is when the inner intent will arise within.
Once you receive ‘this’ Gnan, all your obstacles are
destroyed. This is because obstacles are created through the
ego that says, “I am something.” When the antaray karma is
broken, it does not take long at all. How far apart are the Atma
and moksha? Not at all. The obstacles that lie between the two,
is the distance between them.
After attaining the Self, the obstacle is in the form of a
circumstance (saiyog), and circumstances by nature dissociate
(viyog); whereas ‘You’, Shuddhatma (the pure Soul) are not a
circumstance (asaiyogi); You are eternal (aviyogi; no dissipation).
