interferences, do not exist, there are no ‘accidents’! Precaution
is a kind of intellectual interference and restlessness. There is
excessive restlessness. There is no need for it at all. The world
runs naturally and spontaneously (sahaj) on its own.
Questioner: But taking precaution does not happen with
the intent of doer-ship; it happens automatically.
Dadashri: That will happen automatically, for sure.
Questioner: There is no doer (karta), but if a thought
arises naturally, then should one not use the intellectual
discrimination (vivek buddhi) and do it?
Dadashri: No, everything happens automatically. ‘You’
have to keep ‘seeing’ what happens. Now, You tell me, who are
you in the middle of all this? Are You ‘Shuddhatma’ or are you
‘Chandulal’?
Questioner: You are asking who I am in the middle of all
that? Is the mind (mun) not in the middle?
Dadashri: When have I ever disregarded the mind?
Thoughts will naturally continue to arise in the mind. And sometimes
thoughts may not even arise.
It is like this: even in the last life before liberation, the mind
worked every second. The only difference is that now the mind
no longer has any tubers (granthi). It simply unfolds according
to the unfolding karma (udaya).
You are Shuddhatma after Gnan and from the worldly
view (vyavahar) you are ‘Chandulal.’ Now, in the worldly life
interactions, ‘I am Chandulal,’ ‘I am his uncle,’ ‘I am her nephew,’
is called vikalp, but in reality, after Gnan (nischay) it is not
vikalp. It is discharge. When you truly believe, ‘I truly am
Chandulal,’ then it is vikalp. After Gnan, the belief of, ‘I am
Shuddhatma,’ puts you in a state free from vikalp (nirvikalp).
