that you are sitting in? Now if he gets up from there and you go
and sit in his place; you would have the same space, but then
the time would change.
So the world is like a flowing stream. This world is not
still, but flowing, in the form of the worldly life (sansar). Sansar
(the worldly life) means evolving (samsaran), constantly changing,
and not staying still for even a moment! Just as if there were an
army of two hundred thousand men marching by. There would
be rows of five, ten or fifteen, and would they not all be
assembled in a line? And as it is passing by, would you not be
able to see it all? That is how the Gnanis see the world passing
by. When the eyes of Knowledge (Gnan) open up, they keep
seeing the world as it flows. And because it is flowing, no one
else is occupying the space you are in, and when someone
comes and occupies your space, then the time changes. Can you
understand that? Therefore, this body (deha), the shape
(aakaar), good karma (punya) and bad karma (paap); they
are all separate. But as the Self; they are all of one nature.
The Soul Cannot Be Divided
Questioner: So can we really say that all Atmas are a
fraction of just one Atma?
Dadashri: No, no! All Atmas cannot be a portion of
just one Atma! Anything, whatever it is, anything that has form
(roop), will always have a portion; however, anything that is
without form (aroopi), it does not have a portion. The formless
(aroopi) is only in the form of one thing. If it could be made
into portions, or broken into pieces, and divided, it would
never become whole again. So the Atma (the Self) is in the
form of completeness.
Questioner: So am I the complete pure Soul
(Shuddhatma) from within?
Dadashri: You are complete, you are the whole!
