The belief, ‘I am Chandubhai’, gives support to the prakruti (the non-Self complex). That support leaves when the Gnan, ‘I am pure Soul’, happens. Thus that thing, the ego, falls off when it becomes supportless. When the ego falls off one becomes the non-doer (akarta). How can one go to Simandhar Swami in Mahavideh Kshetra? By following the Five Agnas of revered Dadashri. What is the difference between the Self (Atma) and the pudgal? The Self is the sole eternal element and the pudgal is of infinite parmanus (subatomic particles). The pudgal is vibhavik (that which has arisen out of a third or extra intent), whereas the Self is swabhavik (original nature). The pudgal is subject to puran (intake) and galan (output). Nothing is to be done. One is only to become deserving of the Gnani’s grace (krupa). What obstructions come in the way to become deserving of that grace? Our obstinacies (aadayee)! The effect of discharge karma (dravya) does not change. If the intent (bhaav) changes, one can become free. One may not stop stealing, but if his intent behind the stealing changes, then he will stop! By doing pratikraman the intent changes and that karma gets purified and comes to an end! The world is caught up in trying to remove ego. Dadas
