Aptavani-6
‘Our’ neighbor, that is our relative-self ‘Chandubhai,’ has
attained the energy of life (chetan bhaav); the relative-self has
been charged. All its inner intent (bhaav), the bhaav of the
intellect, the vexation of the mind that arises when someone
insults him; these are all inner intents (bhaav) of your ‘neighbor’
(relative-self). When the mind-intellect-chit-ego get excited, ‘You’
should calmly tell ‘Chandubhai,’ ‘Do not get excited; stay calm.’
Therefore, You have to play your role as a neighbor. On
occasions when he gets very upset, then look in the mirror.
Would you not see ‘Chandubhai’ the neighbor in the mirror?
Then you should place your hand on Chandubhai and say to
him, ‘Calm down. ‘We’ are here with you, so what do you have
to fear?’ Try doing this sometime. Sit in front of a mirror; you
are separate and Chandubhai is separate. Both are separate
from one another but they appear as one because of close
proximity (samipyabhaav) of the two. A new vision (bhaav or
drashti) of ‘oneness’ has arisen, due to their close proximity,
but it does not belong to either of the two. There is nothing else.
They have been separate indeed from the very beginning. A
complete wrong belief has set in. You will have the solution
when the Gnani Purush gives you the right belief. It is just a
changed vision; the mistake is due to the vision.
