wants something. So, persuade and coax it. It is simple and
naïve (bhodu); naïve because in the company of fools he will
become a fool, and in the company of the wise, he will become
wise. With thieves, he will turn into a thief! As is the company,
so is what he becomes! But he will never give up his right.
You need to seat ‘Chandubhai’ before the mirror and
carry out this process. In the mirror, You can see his face and
everything else. Thereafter, you need to tell ‘Chandubhai, ‘Why
did you do that? You shouldn’t be doing this. Why do you
create separation due to difference of opinion (matbhed) with
your wife? Why did you marry her if you wanted to do this?
Why are you doing all this after marrying her?’ You need to tell
him all this. Scolding and persuading him in this way in front of
the mirror for an hour would greatly increase the energy. This is
considered the greatest introspection, ‘seeing within’ (samayik).
Would You not know ‘Chandubhai’s’ every mistake? Whatever
mistakes You see, seat Chandubhai in front of the mirror for an
hour and tell him about all those mistakes. That is the greatest
samayik.
Questioner: Would it not work if I spoke to the mind
within for an hour, instead of talking to him in the mirror?
Dadashri: No, it does not work. You should be able to
see Chandubhai in the mirror. You will not learn to do it if you
do it in your mind. Only a Gnani Purush can do it all by himself.
But you will need to be taught in a child’s language (basic
approach). And it is good that you have this mirror, otherwise
you would have to spend hundreds of thousands of rupees to
buy one. It is good that mirrors are inexpensive nowadays! In
the time of Lord Rushabhdev, only emperor Bharat had a hall
of mirrors constructed! And these days you can see huge mirrors
everywhere!
This is all a theory of subatomic particles (parmanus)
which are indivisible. But much more work will get done if
