a worldly life form, until the time it attains final liberation
(moksha), everything is vyavasthit. Vyavasthit will take one to
moksha if one does not interfere in things. But one will not
refrain from meddling, will one?
Questioner: So then according to what You are saying,
even satsang is an unnecessary interference, is it not?
Dadashri: Yes, that too is considered interference. There
is no need to do it. But because one has gone wrong through
having acquired a dense wrong vision (gruhit mithyatva), it has
to be set right. Does sugar not dissolve slowly in tea? In the
same token, the Self is slowly going towards moksha.
What does even satsang ultimately tell You? Do not ‘do’
anything; just keep ‘seeing’.
Niyati
Questioner: If everything is vyavasthit, then where is
the need to do anything? It sounds contradictory.
Dadashri: This is all vyavasthit.
Questioner: So does that mean that if a person believes
in destiny (niyati), everything is decided?
Dadashri: No, if he believes in destiny, then he becomes
insistent. He would claim victory. Then destiny would be
considered God. Destiny is not the cause alone; there are many
collective causes (samucchaya kaaran) in it. That is why I say
that it is scientific circumstantial evidence. If it were just destiny
alone, then we would not have to worry at all. Destiny means
if you throw something in the sea, it would definitely reach the
shore.
Questioner: Does niyati mean prarabdha (effect, cause
of which was in the past life)?
Dadashri: Prarabdha, naseeb (luck) is not niyati.
