(swabhav). If the local authorities come and open up the gutter
around your home, will the gutter not show its nature (stink)?
Questioner: It will.
Dadashri: How do You view that?
Questioner: Remain as knower-seer (gnata-drashta).
Dadashri: When you are relaxing, you happen to get the
stench of it, so you have to remain gnata-drashta. Similarly
when ‘gutters’ show up in the prakruti, you have to maintain
awareness (jagruti) at that time.
Questioner: If ‘I—the Self’ keep seeing the ‘neighbor’s
prakruti and do not guide and correct it, how can that be
acceptable? Is that not considered hypocrisy?
Dadashri: What authority do You have to guide it? You
are not to interfere (dakhal) in it. Do you know who runs all
this? We do not run it and neither do we correct it. It is all under
the control of vyavasthit. So what is the point of interfering with
it? If we try to do something that is not our dharma (inherent
in our nature, swabhav), we will give rise to something else
(pardharma).
Questioner: Will the wrong, hurtful conduct stop in this
life through Gnan or not?
Dadashri: It might. If you do what the Gnani Purush tells
you, then it can happen within five to ten years! You know, it
can also happen within a year or so! The Gnani Purush is
considered the Lord of three worlds (celestial – devlok; human
– madhyalok; and underworlds – paatadlok). What is not
possible in his presence? Can anything be left behind, unfinished?
You have to sit with Dada and understand everything. You
have to make time for satsang.
‘We are thirsty for Keval Gnan, we will give this life for ‘Dada’
