Do You Get Upset if You Hear Insults
Recorded on a Tape?
Questioner: This mind-speech-body is the non-Self and
under the control of another entity (Mun-vachan-kaaya par
chhe ne paradhin chhe). That means it is dependent on
vyavasthit, does it not?
Dadashri: Yes, it is dependent on scientific circumstantial

is under the control of vyavasthit. Therefore, it is truly a ‘record.’
Once You know (jaano) this, then where is the reason for any
irritation to affect You? If a record were playing, ‘Chandulal is
bad, Chandulal is bad, Chandulal is bad,’ are you likely to get
angry? You get upset because you believe, ‘He spoke. He insulted
me.’ In reality he is not the one speaking; it is a record that
speaks. He is returning, what was yours to begin with.

talk!

whenever any wrong action is done.
Dadashri: So is there no karma bondage in good actions?
Questioner: Good and bad; they both bind karma, do
