Aptavani-5 57 Questioner: Some people do jaap, penance, rosary, etc.; can they still be possessed by a pretyoni? Dadashri: There is no such rule. If you have some past account of karmas, if you have troubled someone and if that soul becomes a pret, then it will not leave you alone without avenging. Questioner: Can reciting the Hanuman Chalisa or the Gayatri Mantra have any effect on it? Dadashri: Yes, there is some benefit from that. It (the pretyoni) will stay away. Even if this Navkar Mantra is done properly with awareness, it will go away. Questioner: Can you show us Devlokas (the celestial abode)? Dadashri: What good does that do? Why don’t you do something for your own Self? There is no joy or benefit in seeing that. You have been wandering for countless lives. You have been there and you have come here too. What is there to see? The Devas have endless sensual pleasures. They are tired of that too and they are waiting to become free from that body. How can they be free of that body when their life span is hundreds of thousand of years? Would you feel content and comfortable if you were fed the kind of elaborate meals they serve at weddings, for a whole month? Would you not run away from there? That is how the Devas feel; they do not like it there. Absolutely Liberated Souls Questioner: Can a Siddha Purush, who may be in the vicinity of a specific circle of influence over nearby planets, guide people there? Dadashri: Siddhas do not guide anyone. Those who guide others are worldly people (sansari). In the worldly language they are considered sansari-siddha.
