moksha. The person, then attains the awareness of Shuddhatma
(the pure Soul) and alakh niranjan (the rare state of attainment
of the Atma), his work is done.
This worldly life (sansar) is ‘relative’, and You (the Self)
are ‘real’. So stay on the side of the ‘real’ and do nikal (settle
with equanimity) with the ‘relative’. Will you not have to
exorcize the ‘demons’ (kashay) that have taken ‘possession’ in
you for so long? This is a science. And in science there cannot
be matbhed. Matbhed exists in dharmadharma (i.e. in
‘relative’ religions). All the religions out there have matbhed and
vikalp (false belief). For how long are they considered vikalp?
For as long as there is dharmadharma atma (mudhatma;
deluded soul ‘I am Chandubhai’). That which keeps pushing
away adharma is dharma. Hey! If you do not get along with
adharma, then live without attachment and abhorrence (raag-
dwesh)!
But can one live that way? One lives with abhorrence for
adharma and attachment towards dharma! The dharmadharma
soul is a state of delusion; a state of wrong belief. ‘Relative’
religions are considered dharmadharma. It is good to practice
‘relative’ religion, one’s life ahead will be better; one will eat better
and things will run well. But all these are just temporary comforts.
Going to moksha does not mean that you have to push
aside adharma or anything else. In order to go to moksha, you
have to settle both dharma and adharma with equanimity.
Dharmadharma is the nature of the body, mind, intellect and
the prakruti (‘relative’ inherent nature); whereas the Atma’s
nature is vitarag. If you want to maintain the nature of vitarag,
then do not fall in love with dharma and do not bicker with
adharma.
“All these ‘relatives’ (non-Self) are ‘temporary’, and the
‘real’ (the Self) is permanent.”
