Questioner: People will not accept that.
Dadashri: People do not understand that; they look at it
as being a moha. Lord Mahavir used to focus only on the
illusion (moha). Wearing clothes is moha and to walk around
naked is also moha. They are both simply moha, but it is
discharge moha. Before Gnan, one moved about in the wrong
direction believing, ‘I am Chandulal,’ and now he has turned
around. His total vision (drashti) has improved. His darshan
moha is gone. Therefore, new moha will not accumulate within.
But there is still the old illusion (moha) within; its result will
unfold in this life, and he has no choice but to endure it.
Questioner: So did the charge moha (drashti moha,

moha)?
Dadashri: When drashti moha and charitra moha come
together, it is called attachment arising due to illusion arising from
the ignorance of the real Self (agnan moha). The whole world
is trapped because of this moha, is it not? It is said that if one
of the two were to ‘go to sleep,’ then the problem of the other
can be solved. If darshan moha (drashti moha, charge moha)
goes away, it is more than enough. Then charitra moha is not
worth even a dime.
Questioner: In the traditional step-by-step path to Self-
realization (Kramic path), do they not remove the charitra moha

Dadashri: Charge moha (drashti moha) has to go; only
then can the remaining moha be considered discharge moha
(charitra moha). When darshan moha is destroyed, only then
does the moha become divided. In this, one part of the moha,
specifically darshan moha, is done away with and the other
remaining part is charitra moha. When one attains Self-
