Aptavani-8

Therefore not a single wrong belief budges. And the right belief
does not set in! In the entire world, not a single person’s wrong
belief budges. For countless avatars they have been reading
Lord Mahavir’s scriptures (shastras), but not a single wrong
belief shifts, and they get nowhere with it; they find some solace
from reading the scriptures (shastras), but their belief does not
change. Only the Gnani Purush, who gives moksha, can change
the belief.
Questioner: If you want to attain liberation (moksha),
you must go to a Gnani Purush!
Dadashri: And moreover, that Gnani Purush has to be
a Self-realized person (Purush) who is a giver of liberation
(mokshadata). Who gives the gift of liberation (moksha)? It
is he who himself, constantly remains in a state of moksha, that
can give you the gift of moksha. As you are already in wrong
belief, then no matter what you do, even if you read the
scriptures (shastras), or anything else, that wrong belief will
strengthen, and the wrong belief will only continue to be
nurtured!
And in this worldly life (sansar), they give one the gift of
ignorance (agnan) from the time of his birth: ‘This baby boy.
Son, this here is your daddy, this is your mummy’, and in so
doing, the gift of ignorance comes to be given, and then the
whole wrong belief becomes established within him. No one is
able to fracture that wrong belief. Besides, if someone were to
say ‘You are pure’, just like that, how would that work? It
should fit into (ged beswi) your understanding, and only then will
the wrong belief be fractured. Otherwise the wrong belief cannot
be fractured, and until then, no one will ever be able to accept,
‘I am the pure Soul (Shuddhatma)’. So far, your entire life has
been ‘I am Chandubhai, I am Chandubhai.’ And that way, it has
permeated each and every subatomic particle (parmanu). Now,
to remove that, and to fracture that wrong belief, is something
that can only be done by the Gnani Purush.
