stop. Dekhat bhooli means that the mistake, the delusion, makes
one see that which is not. The mistake will not be made until one
sees. Nothing will happen as long as you remain in your room.
But mistakes occur when you go to a wedding and see others.
If you keep seeing the Shuddhatma in everyone when you go

Dadashri: It is not yours at all; the pudgal (the non-Self
complex of mind, speech and body), cannot be yours. If your
own pudgal is not really yours, how can another person’s pudgal
be yours?
Attraction is like a burning fire. The Lord has called
