Aptavani-8
As many living beings that go to final liberation (moksha);
that go to the location of final liberation (Siddha gati), the same
number of living beings enter worldly interaction (vyavahar),
from the non-interactive form (avyavahar). So, what would you
call worldly interaction (vyavahar)? It is, that in worldly
interaction, not a single life-form, ever decreases, or increases –
that is called vyavahar! If a single living entity were to increase
or decrease; the entire order (or arrangement) would collapse.
Questioner: What would happen if one single living entity
(jiva) decreased, or one single living entity increased?
Dadashri: Nature’s entire planning would break down! If
the sun does not appear today, then the moon will not appear
tomorrow or else so many stars would be missing, or perhaps
a certain planet will not be there. So they will say, ‘They have
all gone to final liberation (moksha)’, while here there would be
a pitch darkness! But all this, the entire design, is all going to
stay the same.
The sun-moon-stars, even after billions of years will still
appear the same. You would see the very same planet of Saturn,
and the same planet of Venus, but the living entities (jiva) within
will always be changing. The external packing stay the same,
they will still be reflecting; whereas the living entity within falls
and moves to another location. Even the sun will fall, as too will
other living entities.
But no sooner does it fall and disappear, another living
being (jiva) takes its place. And that is called vyavasthit
(scientific circumstantial evidence). What a beautiful arrangement
it is! If one living being (jiva) arrives at 3:03, the other one
leaves at that precise moment. Otherwise we would be able to
tell, ‘why did it become dark?’ But nothing like that happens.
Therefore, not a single jiva is misplaced, and each and every
jiva, remains in its own service (to serve its existence)!
However many souls (jiva) that go to final liberation
