weakness. Here, in the Akram path, You do not have the
weakness. You have to maintain awareness here. The Self I
have given you is verily awareness itself.
Questioner: Attachment (raag) occurs when one is not
aware, does it not?
Dadashri: No, it is not like that. Now, after Self-
realization, You can never have raag at all. That which occurs
is attraction (aakarshan).
Questioner: This attraction that happens, is that not
considered a weakness?
Dadashri: No, it is not a weakness. The attraction and
the Self have nothing to do with each other. All the attraction

may do is that it may make You go through one or two more
lifetimes (this refers to those who have received Gnan). There is
a solution (upaya) for that here. Here they all do a special
introspective process (samayik) of seeing the tubers (gaantho)
and mistakes of the non-Self, the ‘neighbor.’ If you take this
particular topic (vishay) and ‘see’ it in samayik, then it (the
tuber of that particular topic) will start dissolving and it will come
to an end. Whatever you want to dissolve, you can dissolve it
here.
Questioner: If there is something like that, it would be
quite useful.
Dadashri: There is. There is everything here. We will
show you everything here. If there is a specific taste that is
bothering you, you have to put that ‘topic’ in the special
introspective process (samayik) and then keep ‘seeing’ what it
shows You within. All the tubers will dissolve merely by ‘seeing’
them.
Attraction (aakarshan) can never take place in the absence
