does not have to make or do the intent. Everything is already
settled within according to the receptacle of the intellect. He gets
the ‘idol’ ready through pratishtha, ‘I am Chandulal,’ and then
everything is settled according to what is carried in the receptacle
of the intellect.
Questioner: ‘I cannot do without a bungalow,’ is the
receptacle of the intellect. So where is the instillation of life
(pratishtha) in this?
Dadashri: The pratishtha occurs automatically when one
says, ‘I am Chandulal. I did all this. I am her father-in-law. I am
his uncle.’ In this manner, an empty container (khokhu) is formed.
Then what kinds of intents (bhaavs) occur? The answer is
everything is ‘sketched out’ according to the receptacle of the
intellect. Thereafter, internal changes occur according to the
contents of the receptacle of the intellect.
Questioner: Who does the pratishtha?
Dadashri: It is the ego that says, ‘I am this…I am
Chandulal for sure, and this is my uncle.’
Questioner: One man drinks alcohol in the bars, another
worships the Lord in the temple. What is all that?
Dadashri: One drinks because he had done deep inner
intent (bhaav) in the past life, of, ‘I cannot do without a drink.’
So he drinks alcohol and he cannot quit the habit. He is not
doing the pratishtha (the instillation of life) but while speaking,
whatever is the intent is what gets ‘printed’ in the receptacle of
the intellect. It is very important to understand the receptacle of
intellect. For all of us here in Akram Vignan, both (new
pratishtha and buddhi noh ashaya) come to a stop; nothing
new is created. In Akram Vignan there is no new pratishtha
anymore.
Questioner: Dada, please explain buddhi’s ashaya in
more detail.
