Understanding Moha, the Illusion
Questioner: What is considered conduct (charitra) of
being and remaining the Self (atma charitra)?
Dadashri: Remaining as the knower (gnata) and the seer
(drashta) is the only part that is called conduct (charitra). You

has to know and see and remain in a state of pain and pleasure
(dukh-anand). Pain and pleasure, pain and pleasure; the mixture
continues.

‘This speech is mine,’ ‘This mind is mine’; all that is dehadhyas.
For You, all these beliefs are gone; the dehadhyas is gone and
