Gnani and the fully enlightened Lord within) Agnas, so his
interference has ceased. And from then onward, the prakruti
starts to become sahaj. At the time of this samayik (specific
time when one remains the Self and sees the non-Self evidences),
the prakruti is absolutely natural and spontaneous (sahaj)!
In the Kramic path (traditional step-by-step path to Self-
realization), one cannot attain the state of spontaneity and
naturalness until the very end. In that path the turmoil of,
‘Renounce this, renounce that, you can do this but you cannot
do this,’ remains until the end.
From Sahaj to Asahaj to Sahaj
People of India are lacking spontaneity and naturalness
(asahaj). They lack sahajata, spontaneity and naturalness, and
that is why they have more worries. Their worries have increased
because their anger-pride-deceit-greed has increased and,
therefore, they seek liberation (moksha). Otherwise they would
say, ‘We do not want to go to moksha, we are very happy
here.’ If you tell the foreign people, ‘Let us go to moksha,’ they
will say, ‘No, no we do not need moksha!’
Questioner: So that means that they go from being sahaj
to asahaj – from a natural state to a state without naturalness.
When that asahajata goes to the extreme, is that when they
seek moksha?
Dadashri: They go to the top in asahajata; they see and
experience the suffering and then they seek moksha. Their inner
intellect (antarik buddhi) has increased too much. Foreign people
have external intellect (bahya buddhi), which shows worldly
comforts. The rule is that as the inner buddhi increases, so does
the inner suffering.
Questioner: What does one do to come back to
spontaneity and naturalness (sahajata), having gone to the top
of being in a state without naturalness (asahajata)?
