Aptavani-5
You in awareness and awareness itself is the Self.
The prakruti will even have opinions and everything else,
but You should become free of opinions. You are separate from
the prakruti. This ‘Dada’ has made that separation for You.
Thereafter You have to play your role separately. You should
not get involved in problems of ‘Chandubhai’.
Ways of the Vitarag
The vitarag Lords have said, to bind the opinion, ‘these
people are like this…’ is an offence; a fault.
All ‘we’ can do is caution you, but ‘we’ cannot do
anything if you take it the wrong way, can ‘we’? Even Lord
Mahavir’s own disciple, Goshada, had turned against Him.
While preaching in front of Lord Mahavir, he claimed, ‘I too am
a Tirthankar.’ Now, what can Lord Mahavir do here? Such
people were to be found even in those days, so if today we
come across a few people like that, can we oppose them?
Besides it is good when you have such people around, is it not?
What is the science of the Vitarag (absolutely free from
attachment and abhorrence) like? The science states, when you
form an opinion, ‘this person is wrong and this person is at
fault’, then you are liable. Not only can one not give an opinion
but even the way you ‘look’ at it should not be tainted. I remain
superfluous – detached. There are so many mahatmas here and
I am aware of many facts about their intimate life but why would
I meddle? This Gnan is not to be abused.
Questioner: Such a question does not arise for the Lord
because to Him there is no such thing as right or wrong.
Dadashri: That is in the Lord’s vision. Here such a
question does arise. Until one becomes a God, he is liable.
Questioner: But after that the question of what is right
and wrong becomes irrelevant, does it not?
