impediments arose in them. In studying people, ‘we’ can easily
tell what kind of past impediments people have. The current
knowledge tells You that all this is wrong; this cannot be ‘Yours.’
But what can You do when those ‘wedges’ of karma effects
express? You have no choice but suffer-experience them. They
will give bitter and sweet experiences. They could be sweet at
times and bitter at other times. Do you like to experience
pleasure?
As long as you find sweetness in your likes (gamo), the
bitterness in the dislikes (ungamo) will remain. The moment the
liking (gamo) for pleasure ceases, the dislike (ungamo) towards
pain, will come to an end. How long will there be a liking for
pleasure? It will last as long as the opinion that ‘true happiness,
bliss, lies only in moksha,’ has not become strong enough. This
opinion still remains weak. Hence, you need to keep reminding
yourself that, ‘real pleasure, bliss, lies in moksha, and everything
else is false.’ Every other moment, ‘You’ should keep reminding
‘Chandubhai’ and make him understand this. If you are all alone
in a room and no one is around, You should tell ‘Chandubhai,’
you should talk to him, ‘Chandubhai! Have a seat, understand
these facts!’ When there is no one around, who is going to
know what kind of a drama you are doing? If there is someone
else in the room, he will wonder whether you are crazy. Hey,
you! I have not gone crazy; in fact, I am removing the craziness
that is there.
Another person may still comment, ‘You are talking to
Chandubhai; what kind of a person are you? Are you not
Chandubhai yourself?’ Therefore, when you are alone in your
room, all by yourself, close the door and speak to Chandubhai,
‘Have a seat Chandubhai, let us have a talk; what do you gain
from doing this, and that? Why don’t you become one with Me?
There is endless bliss with Me!’ Chandubhai is separate from
You and hence You have to say all this. Just like we have to
make young children understand, similarly ‘Chandubhai’ needs
