Questioner: So does the body experience helplessness -
dependency?
Dadashri: No, even the body does not experience
helplessness (lachari). It is the ego that experiences
helplessness.
Who Are ‘You’?
Questioner: Whatever is meant to happen will happen;
no matter what one does.
Dadashri: You cannot say, ‘whatever is meant to happen
will happen.’ Gnan is only useful if you do not become affected
when someone insults you. You have worries, you get all
worked up; weakness arises within you.
Questioner: Who has worries? Is it me or my Atma
(Self)?
Dadashri: You.
Questioner: So it is the body that has worries?
Dadashri: It happens to you, to the one you yourself
believe to be. It happens to the one that believes ‘this body is
mine’.
Questioner: Worry is not an issue if I claim, ‘I have
nothing to do with anything’, is it?
Dadashri: If you are not affected by the worldly life, then
there is no problem. There is no need for you to understand this
Gnan then. But does the worldly life affect you in any way? All
this is relative. It affects you personally, does it not?
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: There is a weakness (nirbadata) as long as
you are being affected. Tremendous weakness! Man should not
have any effect at all.
