Aptavani-6
Dadashri: That is not called truth. There is no reason to
flatter anyone. It is something one has discovered; one flatters
the other person because of his own mistake. Speech that comes
forth should be such that it fits, is acceptable, to the other person.
Questioner: If one thinks about how the other person
will take it, then there is no end to it.
Dadashri: You should not think about all that. You have
to tell ‘Chandubhai’ to do the pratikraman. That is all you have
to say. This is the science of Akram. Nothing will touch you if
you understand this much. And whenever ‘we’ ask ‘Chandubhai,’
‘Are you ‘Chandubhai’ or ‘pure Soul (Shuddhatma)?’ he will
say, ‘I am Shuddhatma.’ That is it. What else is there to ask?
Then if ‘Chandulal’ does something wrong, the only thing that
happens is that his happiness will be obstructed, that is all.
It will be useful if everyone in the world likes us. If the
world does not like us, then it is our own mistake. That is all you
have to understand. Therefore, adjust everywhere. Otherwise,
there is no end to this problem. I will say something, he will say
something else; people are not likely to listen, are they? People
look for something that is acceptable to them.
Many people tell me, ‘Dada, you must know this,’ or
‘Dada, you must know that,’ I tell them, ‘I do not know anything.
That is why I learned about the Atma.’
Why should we needlessly engage in discussions
everywhere which have no value? Being such a busybody gets
one involved for no reason at all. Being within limits is good.
Excessive involvement is not good.
You should adjust to whatever is acceptable to everyone.
I do not have any separation due to differences in opinion
(matbhed) with anyone. The moment a matbhed occurs, I realize
that it is my mistake and I immediately become aware. No
matter how inappropriate and at odds your talk with me is, it is
