Aptavani-8
the body (dehadharma), the nature of the mind (manodharma),
the nature (dharma) of the intellect (buddhi), the nature of the
inner working complex comprised of the mind, intellect, chit and
ego (antahkaran); or any kind of dharma (states of nature or
religion). And that is because you have attained your own true
nature of the Self (swadharma).
Questioner: So after entering the nature of the Self
(swadharma) do we need anything?
Dadashri: After entering the nature of the Self, you have
no need for anything else. All these mahatmas have come into
the nature of the Self (swadharma). Therefore, they have no
need for thought. As long as one has not come into the nature
of the Self, there is a need for thinking.
Questioner: Because Krupadudev (Kramic Gnani) has
said, ‘Kar vichaar toh paam (if you think, you will attain)’.
Dadashri: Yes, ‘if you think, you will attain’ he said.
However, those thoughts are all layers of coverings (avaran).
Nevertheless, what Krupadudev has said, is correct. Those are
very elevated thoughts; they are not like the thoughts worldly
people think about.
Questioner: No, no. Not those thoughts; only thoughts
about the Atma.
Dadashri: That is all, only thoughts related to the Atma.
And even so, what kind of thoughts? Those whose link does not
get broken. So the thinking process is uninterrupted. Only when
your thoughts are like that, do you understand perhaps some of
what the Atma is all about. Otherwise, the Atma is very difficult
to understand. And if you find a Gnani Purush, it is possible to
attain the Atma very easily.
All these mahatmas have already attained the Atma. And
they can all see your Atma. Through a divine vision (divya
chakshu), they can all see your Atma.
