Are you saying, ‘I am in pain’? Pain is in the ‘relative,’ not
in the ‘real.’ It is falsely projected (aropit) upon the relative as
being real. Through a wrong belief, you have believed pain to be
where it is not. When you say, ‘I am hurting,’ then the pain,
which is only twenty-five percent in intensity, becomes one
hundred percent.
Questioner: I became one with the body, the self. So,
instead of twenty-five percent, I feel a hundred percent pain.
Dadashri: The whole world believes and knows, ‘I am
Chandulal,’ that is, they believe their relative-self to be their real
Self. But you have now learned the interaction (vyavahar) of
separation.
Questioner: But now if I say, ‘Chandulal has pain,’ will
that twenty-five percent pain remain as twenty-five percent?
Dadashri: Yes, it will not increase. Otherwise, it will
become one hundred percent. People are not aware and,
therefore, they increase their pain by describing and discussing
their pain with others.
Do people not worry constantly? There is a limit to
worrying. Not everyone is a Gnani, that they have no worries at
all. But should there not be some rules or principles about this?
How long can you go on worrying? Worry means to keep
contemplating (chintavan), ‘What will I do now…what’s going
to happen now…?’
Here, God is being disgraced; nature is being disgraced.
Then where is such a thing as justice?
One cries when a two year old child dies, he cries when
the twenty-two year married son dies and he cries when a
seventy-five year old man dies. Hey, you! What understanding
do you get from all this? You have no understanding at all of
when to cry and when not to!
Questioner: I have never used the intellect in this manner
