Aptavani-5

Dadashri: They become still for a while and revert to the
way they were before. There is nothing of ‘Ours’ (the Self) in
it. We will not attain our goal and if that yoga (the act of uniting)
becomes ‘above normal’ it is very dangerous. Many persons,
who practice such yoga, come to me. Their whole body

Questioner: Sakshibhaav (witnessing) means the end
has come, does it not?
Dadashri: Sakshibhaav should remain in everything.
Sakshibhaav will not remain the moment someone says,
‘Chandubhai is worthless.’ It will not remain even if someone
picks your pocket because sakshibhaav is through the ego.
What does sakshibhaav mean? Actually, sakshibhaav is one
of the steps towards becoming vitarag; it is a true step. There
is great difference between sakshibhaav (to remain as a witness
through the ego) and drashtabhaav (to remain as the Seer in
the Self state).
There is no Self where there is absence of attributes of
the Self. This gold is gold as long as its attributes are present.
Its own attributes do not become one with attributes of any
other metal. All that you see in the worldly life is attributes of
the non-Self. The Self is not there. The Self remains as the
Knower-Seer (Gnata-Drashta); it does not become a part of
anything else. The Self is never adulterated; it is free from
adulteration.
All the methods and paths in the Kramic path are for
creating awareness. In the Kramic path, awareness will keep
increasing. Whatever one becomes vitarag (unattached) towards,
he will maintain awareness towards that but he has no
