gross mind; we put aside all gross actions; we put aside every
action of the body. Everything changes after I give you the
knowledge of the Self; otherwise you continue to function
through the dictates of the discharging mind (dravya mun).
No one can know the charging mind (bhaav mun). They
can understand that there is bhaav mun but they do not know
how it functions.
Questioner: Is that what we call ‘unconscious’?
Dadashri: Yes, that happens under the cover of the ego,
it does everything in the dark. If the darkness of the ego were
not there, everything would be visible. This is a very subtle thing.
The Path of Intellect and the Path Without
Intellect
If you want to develop in the worldly life, follow the path
of the intellect (buddhi) and if you want to take the path of
liberation, follow the path free of intellect (abuddha). ‘We’ are
abuddha; ‘We’ do not have any intellect at all. Intellect makes
one sensitive. There are two types of intellect: one is right
intellect (samyak buddhi) and the other is misguided intellect
(viparit buddhi). Here when satsang takes place, your
misguided intellect will take a turn and become right and that
right intellect takes You to moksha.
Questioner: Does full enlightenment (kevalgnan) occur
after one becomes intellect-free (abuddha)?
Dadashri: Kevalgnan will never happen without one
becoming intellect-free. Wherever there is intellect, there is
always the presence of the worldly interaction ego; even if one
has Self-realization. Wherever there is no intellect, there is no
worldly ego.
Questioner: So is it better to have intellect or not to have
intellect?
