to pamper it. But if you insist, ‘No, but I have to watch over
everything, don’t I?’ then it will take you over. Your work will
get done. You simply have to ‘see’ everything and it will get
done in an orderly manner. There are so many scientific
circumstantial evidences that You do not have to worry about

is mandatory.
Questioner: If everyone is a pure Self, does that not
create disturbances in the way the world works?
Dadashri: There would be no direction or management
if everyone were Shuddhatma. One has to gradually become
