The Seer-Knower
Questioner: After attaining Self-realization, the mind
continues to have passions (vicar). What is the reason for that?
Dadashri: The passions of the mind are objects to be
known (gneya), therefore, they need to be ‘seen and known.’
Before, prior to Self-realization, you were in human nature
(maanav swabhav) in which there is, ‘Right and wrong,’ ‘These
are good thoughts and these are bad thoughts,’ etc. Now, You
have come into the nature of your Self (atma swabhav) in
which all thoughts become one. They are all gneya, they are just
gneya, meaning they are objects (as opposed to subject) to be
‘known’ and ‘You’ are the knower (gnata) of them. There is a
gneya-gnata relation, i.e., an object-knower relation. So tell
me, where is the problem?
Questioner: Does one need to make any effort
(purusharth) to see through the vision of the Self (atma-drashti),
or is it seen automatically?
Dadashri: It is seen automatically! With the Gnan ‘we’
have given you, You see the ‘relative,’ the non-Self, and the
‘real,’ the Self. All that is relative is temporary and all that is real
is permanent. All these that you ‘see’ are temporary gneya, the
non-Self. Gross circumstances and subtle circumstances are all
objects to be known (gneya) which are temporary and subject
to destruction.
You should come here to satsang and ask all the questions
and get your answers. Then You will be aware of everything and
