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.
