Beginning of Kashay
Questioner: I want to know about charge kashays and
discharge kashays (kashays – inner hidden enemies of anger,
pride, deceit and greed. Deluded behaviors that obstruct right
knowledge and behavior and that perpetuate karma and
involvement in the world.)
Dadashri: The kashays that you are experiencing now,
for example, if you become angry with someone, that is discharge
kashay. But with that anger, if there is a presence of your belief
(bhaav) of being the doer, then a new seed of ‘charge kashay’
is sown again.
Questioner: During any discharge that occurs, is there
also not a charge? Is cause karma (bhaav karma) also not in
it?
Dadashri: No. When the karma is discharging, the one
who takes Gnan from ‘us’ can prevent the simultaneous charging
that occurs. Then karma does not bind at all.
Questioner: Is there some kind of a test for proving that
something is a ‘charge’ and something else is a ‘discharge’?
Dadashri: Yes, there is. You will know everything that
happens. If a charge is taking place, then there is restlessness
(ashanti) within; the bliss (samadhi) will break. And if there is
no charging, then the samadhi will not leave.
Questioner: Can anger occur despite being in samadhi?
Dadashri: The anger that occurs is discharge anger, but
