To believe ‘I know’ after reading the scriptures boosts the
ego; and then, where will one go? If he meets the Gnani Purush
(One enlightened in the knowledge of the Soul and the universe,
who is free from ego and all worldly attachments and enlightens
others), he attains salvation.
Who is the one that is in bondage? It is the ego, and that
is the one that needs to be liberated. The Self is already free.
Because of ignorance one believes, ‘I am bound’, and after
attaining Gnan he becomes free! Then the ego is gone. Once
the ego is gone the wrong belief, ‘I am doing, he is doing, they
are doing’, goes away!
If the relative self (prakruti) is doing something crooked,
You correct it from within. If the relative self gets angry, you do
pratikraman (the process of reversal from hurt caused through
mind, speech and body, by recalling it, repenting and resolving
never to repeat it. This is to be done in the precise manner as
shown by Dadashri) within. Once you correct it within, no matter
what the prakruti does, You are not responsible for it. The
relative self is absolutely separate, and You are to keep it
separate. You are not to get involved in the troubles of the non-
Self. The relative self keeps opinions and You are to become
free of opinions.
What is the way of the Vitarags (absolutely enlightened
Ones)? Simply saying, ‘They are wrong, they are making
mistakes’, causes bondage! There, one must not give any opinion
whatsoever. Your Vision must not be spoilt at all!
In the path of Akram Vignan (the spiritual Science of the
stepless path to Self-realization) all liberties are allowed. Dadashri
gives a guarantee that there is no bondage of karma anywhere,
with the exception of one danger zone and that is the entry into
sexuality that is not rightfully yours.
There is a vast difference between abhorrence (dwesh)
