Dadashri: Yes, a ‘beautiful’ code is bound to come!
Questioner: So does one have to attain a new body for
the new code? Instead, what I want is that ‘no code be
recorded.’
Dadashri: This is for just one life. You are not going to
have codes like these later on. Those who do not have foul
language today have not changed the code, and those who have
foul language have changed the code, so their speech will change.
Therefore, those who have changed it have taken note, whereas
those who have not have missed out. When someone asks me,
‘Dada, when will my speech improve?’ …from that can we not
deduce that he is changing the code?
Questioner: The one who wants liberation (moksha) should
not record any code, should he? What should one do for that?
Dadashri: You will not have any difficulty on your path
to moksha. Whatever codes are needed to go to moksha will
arise in your next life. Now, whatever ‘stock’ you accumulate
by asking me, you will get exactly that code in the next life. You
still have one more life, do you not?
Questioner: What are the codes of a Tirthankara’s
speech like?
Dadashri: They have decided on such a code that, ‘Not
a single living being be hurt to the slightest extent, by my speech.
Definitely not only hurt any living being but also not hurt the
foundation of any living being; not even that of a tree!’ Such
codes occur only to the enlightened, fully liberated beings
(Tirthankars).
Questioner: What kind of awareness should be there
when speaking?
Dadashri: The awareness of, ‘Who will be listening and
how will he or she be affected by these words?’
