And to repel from pain is dukh buddhi.
There is nothing wrong with enjoying pleasure (sukh
buddhi). It is not of the Self; it belongs to the pudgal, the non-
Self. Pleasure arises when someone gives you something. When
you get too much of it, it will also give rise to pain (dukh

Questioner: Yes, I get tired of it.
Dadashri: Therefore, it is the non-Self (pudgal). Pudgal
is a thing of input-output or charge-discharge (puran-galan). So
it is not a permanent thing. It is a temporary adjustment. If a
mango is sweet and you ask for some more, it is not pleasure-
seeking (not sukh-buddhi); it is merely an attraction (aakarshan)
of the body.
Questioner: For me, the body and the tongue have a lot
of such attraction.
Dadashri: As such attraction continues, You have to remain

separate from all joint activities of the mind, the speech and the
body’ (Mun vachan kayani tamam sangi kriyao thi hoon
taddan asang ja chhoo), such awareness (jagruti) should
remain. And actually it is exactly that way, that is, it is all input-
output (puran-galan). There is no binding of new karma if You
maintain this awareness.
Questioner: If that awareness does not remain, then is it
a mistake of our worldly conduct (charitra dosh)?
Dadashri: It is considered so in the Kramic path.
Questioner: But such weakness prevails due to the illusion
of discharging karma (charitra moha).
Dadashri: In the Kramic path, it is considered a
weakness. In that path you have to find a solution for such
