Dadashri : Yes , he is becoming free . Therefore , there is a different kind of justice in nature . Do you understand that things are not what they seem ?
Questioner : So does that mean that one should get rid of his inner intent ( bhaav )?
Dadashri : That is it , it is the inner intent that one needs to get rid of . The problem is with the inner intent , and not with things and whatever unfolds . As far as God is concerned , whatever happens is immaterial . The inner intent ( bhaav ) is charge ( for binding new karmas ) and whatever is happening is a discharge ( effect of the past life ’ s karmas ).
Questioner : What is the significance of inner intent in the path of Akram Vignan ?
Dadashri : In the path of Akram there is no like-dislike ( bhaav-abhaav ); he is beyond them . Bhaav-abhaav gives rise to the worldly life ; it gives rise to the ‘ relative department ’ ( a temporary state of the non-Self ). Positive intents or negative intents vanish in Akram Vignan and hence new karmas cease to be charged and whatever karmas that were previously charged simply remain to be discharged . In other words , the ‘ causes ’ have stopped and only ‘ effects ’ remain . Effect is a result .
Everyone keeps quarrelling over results ( that which unfolds in this life ). If your son fails his exams there should be no complaints about his failure . The complaints should come at the time of preparing for exams . You have to tell him to study . You can caution him , you can even scold him but when he fails , tell him to sit with you and have his dinner peacefully . Console him . Tell him not to take a drastic step of suicide , out of dejection and failure .
Questioner : What kind of mistakes makes one do such bhaav ( inner intent ): such as accepting a bribe ?
