not go in, there is suffocation within and so he( the enlightened one) moves over into the domain of the Self, his Home. Therefore, He has the awareness of the immortal state.
Parakram – Extraordinary Spiritual Effort
Questioner: The creative energy( sarjak shakti) that is other than the‘ charge point’; what is that? Is that purusharth?
Dadashri: What do‘ we’ mean when‘ we’ say‘ creative energy’?‘ We’ ask,‘ when does sunrise occur?’ It occurs when the scientific circumstantial evidences arise. When it is four o’ clock on this watch, and four o’ clock on the big clock in Bombay, it does not mean that the sun will rise. Even if the sun is in a hurry, it cannot rise. When will sunrise occur? It will occur when all the evidences come together. Therefore, unfolding of karma( udayakarma) is dependent on creative energy( sarjak shakti).‘ We’ call that energy‘ relative’; it is of the relative-self( prakruti), it is not purusharth.
Questioner: Inner intent( bhaav) itself is a purusharth, is it not? To know our true inner intent, to know the Self by its attributes, is that not purusharth?
Dadashri: Bhaava-bhaav is like-attraction( bhaav) and dislike / repulsion( abhaav); all belong to the‘ top’( the non-Self) and‘ we’( the Gnani and mahatmas) have our own state of the Self( swabhav-bhaav). Bhaava-bhaav is karma. Swabhavbhaav is the knower-seer( gnata-drashta) and eternal bliss( parmanand). Our mahatmas are in swabhav-bhaav, and that is why there is constant bliss within. But they do not take more experience of this bliss. When it is time to taste and experience it, they may have gone somewhere to a‘ hotel’( enjoying worldly pleasure). That is why they do not know it.
Questioner: How do the mahatmas taste and experience that? When they experience it unknowingly, is it due to their purusharth or the unfolding of karma( udayakarma)?
