the worldly love, right? Worship can only come about if there is
love for God, and not otherwise. Worship without love is not
considered worship.
Questioner: What is considered premlakshana bhakti
(worship with love of God)?
Dadashri: True premlakshana bhakti is the love of
God. It is where you will not forget God the whole day long.
Even while you are counting money, you have God on your
mind; that is love for God. At the moment there is still more love
for money. To forget God at the time your daughter is getting
married is illusory attachment (moha); it is infatuation (murchha).
Premlakshana bhakti is very high worship; God Himself makes
His presence there.
With Flawless Vision the World Is Flawless
Questioner: How can we attain faultlessness
(nirdoshata)?
Dadashri: When you ‘see’ the entire world as being
faultless (nirdosh). I have become faultless (nirdosh) through
seeing the entire world as faultless. The one who does good and
the one who does bad, in my eyes, are both faultless.
Questioner: In the ‘relative’ perspective, when you do
something wrong, isn’t it apparent who is at fault (doshit)?
Dadashri: When is one considered to be at fault
(doshit)? It is when his Shuddhatma (the pure Soul) ‘is doing’
something wrong. But the Shuddhatma is the ‘non-doer’. It is
not possible for the Shuddhatma ‘to do’ anything. This is
discharge of karma and you see him at fault (doshit) in it. You
should do pratikraman for any faults that you see in others. As
long as you see fault in any living being in this world, know that
you have not yet attained inner purification (shuddhikaran).
Until then, it is sensory knowledge (indriya-gnan).
