‘sees’ and ‘knows’ the gneya and the absolute bliss (param
anand) arises. Now what is there to see when You are sleeping
alone in a room? What ‘pictures’ will You keep looking at? At
that time, You will see everything within. Ultimately, You can
even ‘see’ sleep and dreams.
Questioner: But one cannot see dreams in the siddha
kshetra (location where the fully liberated Soul resides without
a body), can one?
Dadashri: No, there are no dreams there. The dreams
happen because of the physical body. At the moment, even this
life is a dream of open eyes. The Gnanis do not sleep; for them
the ‘seeing’ is continuous. They are able to see other places,
locations and regions (pradesh).
The body has weight. There is misery because of it. The
Gnanis find the body to be a great burden. In the siddha kshetra,
however, there is no physical body.
Questioner: This body we have, is it a result of karma?
Dadashri: Yes, it is the result of karma.
Questioner: The karma should be completely discharged,
should it not?
Dadashri: Once the karma have been completely
discharged, it (the body) will go away. When the chit becomes
pure (shuddha), it can be said that the karma have been
discharged (nirjara). (Chit is one of the inner components of
the antahkaran (ego-mind-intellect-chit) with the properties of
knowledge and vision gnan and darshan).
Questioner: Are there ‘knowing’ (gnatapanu) and
‘circumstances’ in the living organisms (avyavahar rashi) which
have no names – embodied souls in an unnamed state?
Dadashri: Their state is a state comparable to ‘being tied
up in a sack.’ There is endless misery there.
