More Details on Naturalness, Sahajata
Natural (sahaj prakruti) means it will unwind as it was
wound; there is no other destruction-creation (bhanjghad).
With reference to the naturalness, after Gnan (receiving
the knowledge of Self from the Gnani Purush), if the Self (the
real You) remains the knower-seer then ‘it’ (the prakruti) will
become sahaj. Once You interfere in ‘it,’ it gets ruined again.
The interference is, ‘It would be better if it is like this and it
would be better if it is not like that,’ and this makes the self
become unnatural (asahaj).
A businessman is about to file for bankruptcy and even in
this predicament, his wife would give a beggar a sari and other
things. And yet, the businessman will not give even a penny. The
man is preoccupied about the future of his business whereas the
wife is calmly helping the poor. The wife’s prakruti is called
sahaj. As the thought arises within her, she will follow through
accordingly. The man, on the other hand, will even have a thought
of donating two thousand rupees, but then right away he will
think, ‘What can I give now when I am bankrupt?’ So then he
will drop the idea of giving.
The one who is natural and spontaneous (sahaj) will do
exactly what comes into his mind, and even if he does not, there
is no interference from the Self. This is spontaneity and naturalness
(sahajata).
The one who has received this Gnan will have a thought
when he boards a train about where a seat is available and
where not and, at that time, he may not be able to remain non-
interfering (sahaj). But despite this, if he remains in the Gnan
and in the Agnas, then the prakruti will become sahaj. Thus,
whatever it may be, even if he were to abuse others a hundred
times, his prakruti is natural because he followed ‘our’ (the
