Aptavani-6
Dadashri: Many people recite, ‘I am pure Soul…I am
pure Soul (I am Shuddhatma…I am Shuddhatma).’ Some do
it by repeatedly writing, ‘I am Shuddhatma…I am
Shuddhatma,’ and when they do that, even their body is engaged
in that ramanata (absorbed or devotional involvement with body

Questioner: So what should we do in order to become
such a nimit?
Dadashri: All this; everything that I am telling you to do.

get rid of certain types of ‘rust’ (inner kashays).
In that, you should not have any intent of any violence
(himsak bhaav), like getting angry, getting irritated, etc., with
anyone. Actually, You do not have the real violent intent (himsak
bhaav). These are all discharge violent intents, but when these
discharge intents come to an end, that is when all these energies
