however, the ones that do, are the ones who hold a ‘return
ticket’ (to lower life-form). To quarrel in the worldly life, is not
of great consequence, but quarreling in the religion is the work
of those who possess a ‘return ticket’.
Questioner: What do you mean by ‘return ticket’?
Dadashri: It means that one has come into the human
form from the animal life-form with a ‘return ticket’, so that is
where one will be going back to. In religion (dharma) there
should not be any dispute such as our religion is Islam and ours
is Hindu. No one should interfere with religion. Only he that has
come with a return ticket will interfere. Having contempt for any
religion is to have disputes with every religion. Straightforward
people would not do such a thing. There are very few people
who are that way inclined; with civility.

Atma
Would the Vitarag’s speech ever be wrong? Does it
sound like a mother-in-law’s and daughter-in-law’s speech?
One has developed a bad habit for bathing and that is why one
rubs mud on oneself. Unless his bad habit goes away, he will not
stop rubbing the mud. Instead, know God; know the Atma
(Self). He who has known the Self, knows everything. And the
one who has not known the Self, should just go to a jungle and
let out a loud cry so that he gets to cry to his heart’s content.
No one here gets to cry to his heart’s content. In the path of the
Vitarag, each and every word is completely replete with bliss
(sukh). Has Dada made anyone renounce anything here? He
has not given any pacchakhaan (pratyakhyan; vow not to
repeat mistakes) nor has he made anyone renounce anything.
Just look at how everyone is experiencing such happiness
without having to do anything! And it is the kind that You will
never run short of. You have been given light that will never go
down. Infinite light!
