Aptavani-5
Dadashri: Yes, it is the energy and power of the intellect
that catches it but it can only do so in the presence of a Gnani
Purush; the intellect cannot catch on anywhere else. This is
because the speech that comes out in the presence of the Gnani
Purush breaks through the karmic veils and reaches the Self
directly and that is why the mind, intellect, chit and ego accept
it. My speech comes out having passed through the Self.
Everyone else’s speech comes out having passed through the
mind. That is why the mind accepts that speech and here the
Self accepts it. Thereafter the mind and the intellect will catch it
too.
Restlessness in Circumstances and
Tranquillity in the Self
Questioner: Why does one become restless (asvastha)
in circumstances where there is the absence of the Vitarag
Purush, the Gnani Purush, and tranquil (svastha) in His
presence?
Dadashri: One remains tranquil in His presence for sure.
Restlessness is created by the intellect and as long as the intellect
remains, the ego too will remain. Intellect laden with ego makes
one restless. If such intellect comes to an end then there is no
reason for being restless.
Questioner: This is not possible in the worldly life, is it?
Dadashri: No, it is not possible. Still whatever benefit
you get is good. Otherwise by gradually bringing about
settlement through the intellect and the ego, tranquillity will
automatically prevail. There is tranquillity in remaining as the
Self, and by remaining in circumstances (avastha) there will be
restlessness. Circumstances are all temporary and the Self is
permanent. You can remain tranquil (svastha) by remaining as
the Self, otherwise restlessness (asvastha) will remain.
Questioner: The Self is able to ‘see’ and ‘know’ the one
