Aptavani-6

if there is support or intent (bhaav) for the anger within, then
bliss (samadhi) will not remain.
Questioner: Is it the same with greed (lobh)?
Dadashri: Yes that goes for everything; anger, pride, deceit
and illusion-greed. One is a charge bhaav (belief, intent) and the
other is a discharge bhaav. What is your name?
Questioner: Chandulal.
Dadashri: Have you ever confirmed that you are
Chandulal?
Questioner: Everyone has told me that.
Dadashri: Even I accept that you are the owner of that
name, but who are ‘you’ really? Karma continues to charge as
long as there is the false assertion (aropit bhaav) of ‘I am
Chandubhai.’
Questioner: Is attachment-abhorrence (raag-dwesh)
kashay-laden intent (kashay bhaav) or is it something different?
Dadashri: It is verily a part of kashays. It is not a separate
thing. Anger (krodh) and pride (maan) are elements of
abhorrence (dwesh), while deceit (kapat, maya) and greed
(lobh) are elements of attachment (raag). So anger and pride
are elements of abhorrence, while deceit and greed are elements
of attachment. Anger, pride, deceit and greed are not attributes
of the Soul and neither are they attributes of the relative-self, the
non-Self complex of input and output, charge and discharge
(pudgal).
Questioner: So what is that third element?
Dadashri: It is an attribute (guna) that arises in the
presence of both the soul Self (Atma) and the non-Self (pudgal).
It would not arise if there were no presence of the two.
