Aptavani-6
Dadashri: ‘What is this happening?’ ‘See’ and ‘know’ it.
You have to ‘see’ and ‘know’ ‘what is taking place.’
Analysis of the Prakruti
Questioner: Please explain how to analyze the relative-
self (prakruti).
Dadashri: When you wake up in the morning and there
is an inner calling out for a cup of tea or something else, can You
not tell? That is prakruti. Then what else does it ask for? Then
‘it’ will say, ‘Bring me some snack and breakfast.’ Would You
not know that too? If You ‘see’ the relative-self (prakruti) this
way all day, then the analysis of the prakruti will occur. You
have to ‘see’ (jovoo) all that by remaining separate from it.
Nothing is done with our free will. The prakruti makes us do
it.
Questioner: This is at the gross (sthool) level, but how
can we ‘see’ what goes on, inside?
Dadashri: You should see who is having the desire: ‘Is
this desire ‘mine’ (of the Self) or the prakruti’s (relative-self)?’
That is all You have to ‘see’ because there are only two things
within.
Questioner: Are we to remain separate and then ‘see’?
Is that what we have to practice?
Dadashri: If You do this for just one day, then You will
know how to do it. You need to do all this for just one day.
Then it is just a matter of repetition for the rest of the days.
That is why ‘we’ tell you to try this experiment of ‘letting
go of the reins’ for one day, on a Sunday. With this process
your belief of, ‘It happens only because I have the control of it,’
will go away.
Questioner: When one says that he has taken hold of the
reins, is that not the ego?
