is a Shuddhatma (pure Soul) within. After that there is no doubt
(shanka) at all.
Questioner: What happens if I do not follow the path
that You have showed me?
Dadashri: It is possible that may happen, but you have
to have a desire to follow it. If you do not wish to follow the
path, then you may go astray. But if You definitely want to
follow it, then there is no problem even if many karmic
obstacles arise in your way. The Gnani’s grace will always be
working for You if you have a firm desire to follow His path.
Even if thousands of karmas come, they will be uprooted
through the Gnani’s grace, but there is no solution for the one
who wants to go the wrong way.
Questioner: If the awareness (laksha) of Shuddhatma
does not go away in a situation with a person, does that mean
that it has been settled with equanimity?
Dadashri: If you have interest in other things, then you
will lose the awareness of Shuddhatma. If you have an interest
in something, it is bound to latch on to you, is it not? A person
will throw a fit even if his kadhee (soup) gets spilled because he
has an interest in it. One has to get rid of one’s interest and not
the thing itself. Things will not go away even if you try to do so.
The whole world attempts to get rid of things. The thing will not
go away; it is in your fate. You have to get rid of your interest
in those things.
Questioner: The difference between the Kramic path
and the Akram path is the grace of a guru, is it not?
Dadashri: Yes, it is the grace of God. That is all. There
is no such thing as a guru here. Who is a guru here? What is
the definition of a guru? It is the one who has gurukilli
(knowledge which will not let the guru sink). Such a guru can
guide you. A guru without a gurukilli is considered ‘heavy’.
