sahaj (natural and spontaneous)?
Dadashri: Sahaj means that even if someone were to do
something to your body, You would not have attachment or
abhorrence (raag or dwesh). Just look at ‘us’ and understand
what sahaj is. Sahaj means to be in one’s own state, to be
natural, to not be in the state of the non-Self. It is to have no
sense of ‘I am’ in the relative.
Questioner: When does one become sahaj (natural and
spontaneous)?
Dadashri: When this Gnan advances with producing
results and karmas become few, one progressively becomes
sahaj. At the moment you are becoming natural a little at a time
and then you will become completely sahaj (natural and
spontaneous). As you become free of the dehadhyas, meaning
free from the belief, ‘I am this body’, you move towards
naturalness (sahajata). However natural You become, that is
how much You become one with the Self. Are you convinced
that you have attained this path?
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: Whoever is convinced about this will attain
liberation. Everything will come to an end; thoughts will end,
knowledge will end. Everything has an end, but ignorance has no
end.

We have attained the Drashta state (the Self). What the world
is searching for, we have in our hands. Now our job is to see
how to make use of the pure applied awareness (shuddha
upayog) as the Self. That is called real spiritual endeavour
(purusharth).
When you leave home and You apply shuddha upayog
