pure Self (shuddha upayog)’. Do not think about anything else.
This is not like a day, which ends soon. This is the process of
the worldly life. All your karmic accounts will be over if you
remain in shuddha upayog. If you start thinking, ‘When will all
this end?’ then some other ‘ghost’ will take over and possess
you. What is the big hurry?
I have very little charitra moha (illusory attachment in
discharge), whereas you have heaps of it. But yours is also
gradually going down a little at a time. Charitra moha is going
away. As it leaves, it frees you for sure.
From the five hundred thousand ‘guests of charitra
moha’ you had, five hundred just left, leaving you with that
many less, then another five hundred will leave. Then instead of
five hundred thousand, four hundred thousand will remain, and
then it will go down to three hundred thousand, then two
hundred thousand. It will continue to decrease in this manner
and eventually there will be nothing left. What is the point in
counting to see how many remain and how many have gone?
Just remain in the awareness of the pure Self so that, along with
the state of samvar (a state free from karmas inflow, charge),
there is constant discharge of karmas (nirjara).
Questioner: Does this mean that the more I remain in
shuddha upayog, the more discharge of karmas will occur?
Dadashri: Shuddha upayog is the only thing that is to be
‘done’. Your dharma (duty) is shuddha upayog. The more You
miss the awareness (upayog), the more you will suffer. The Five
Agnas (special directives given by Dadashri in Gnan Vidhi) that
I give You is for the purpose of keeping You in shuddha upayog.
To be in–to follow the Five Agnas is itself shuddha upayog.
Even following only one of them is shuddha upayog. Is it not
possible for you to practice at least one Agna out of five?
Questioner: Dada, the Five Agnas are such that if I
follow just one, all five are followed automatically.
