path and the right path; both are paths, so ‘see’ them as such.
Questioner: But the whole life will be wasted on the
wrong path, will it not?
Dadashri: But what will happen when You start quarrelling
there? To ‘keep seeing’ is purusharth. You get entangled because
you do not understand what purusharth is. What you are going
through is some simple suffocation.
Questioner: In the end I get tired of wondering what is
going on.
Dadashri: If anyone gets tired, it is ‘Chandubhai’ and not
‘You.’ ‘You’ have to scold ‘Chandubhai’ and make him do
pratikraman in the evening.
The nature of the Self is such that it will not miss knowing
even the smallest thing. It knows everything that goes on. Why
do others not come and complain saying, ‘This or that happened
to me today’?
Questioner: They must be experiencing peace (samadhi)?
Dadashri: How can samadhi exist when the Self has not
been realized by them yet? The Self has not manifested where
the ego is still at work, whereas in You, the Self has manifested.
That is why You ‘know’ about all this. Otherwise, why do others
not say the same thing?
Questioner: Then one’s bliss, one’s eternal happiness,
should not go away, should it?
Dadashri: But that bliss goes away when these obstacles
arise.
Questioner: Which obstacles, Dada?
Dadashri: When you go to work, and ‘You’ do not ‘see
(jovoo)’ properly what Chandubhai is doing, then everything
falls apart. Nothing will happen if everything runs systematically.
