Aptavani-6

Dadashri: Yes, but that is discharge ego. You should
recognize the ego and You should also know on what basis does
everything happen. Despite this, ‘it’ (the relative-self) ends up
having the wrong inner intent (bhaav) that, ‘It happens because
of me.’ Therefore, when you do this experiment, then all the
wrong bhaav will go away.
If your son says, ‘I am your father,’ you will get upset
with him if you feel ‘he is the one speaking.’ There is no telling
what will come out of your son’s mouth. Therefore, there should
be the awareness (jagruti) of, ‘Speech is a record, the speaker
does not have this energy (here, shakti is the power to speak),
neither is it ‘my’ energy. This is an alien, non-Self (parki) thing
that is being thrown out.’
Then as You go further, when you say something about
some fellow, Rameshbhai, You should have the awareness at
that time that he is a Shuddhatma, a pure Soul. When you are
reading a book, and you read that, ‘Mangladevi did this and she
did that,’ at that time You should be able to ‘see’ Mangladevi’s
Shuddhatma.
Do whatever you can in this manner. You do not have to
do it all in just one day. There are no grades that you have to
attain here, but make it possible without fail; make it happen.
Gradually, You have to become an embodiment of pure love
with everyone (shuddha prem swaroop).
Questioner: Shuddha prem swaroop; how does one
become that?
Dadashri: If someone leaves after cursing and insulting
you, then when he comes back to you and Your love towards
him remains the same, then that is a form of pure love (shuddha
prem). It does not increase even when he showers you with
flowers. That which increases and decreases is attraction
(aasakti). When it does not increase or decrease, it is called
shuddha prem, pure love.
