Aptavani-8
we would say to him, ‘No, you do not need anything. You do
not need to have any kind of dependency (avalumban) on this
world at all.’ Therefore, when he comes to that awareness, he
will say, ‘I am the pure Soul (Shuddhatma), I am the pure
Soul.’ From then on, there is no more worrying, or frustration
left. Worry and frustration only takes place in the non-Self part,
but one takes it all upon himself that ‘This is what is happening
to me.’ Goodness, this is not Yours; it is happening in the home
of someone else. How can anything happen to You? It is happening
at neighbor’s house, so what is it got to do with You? Besides,
nothing can happen to the Atma (the Self)! But it is the illusion
(bhranti) of infinite ages that makes him forget all these facts.
Atma and Non-Atma Separated Through The
Gnani’s Vidhi
Questioner: You say that the ‘Atma is completely separate
from me’, then why has it not become clear to me yet?
Dadashri: It can only become separate, after it has been
separated, or else it remains as one (tanmayakar). ‘We’ separate
it for you; when ‘we’ perform the Gnanvidhi and it becomes
separated. Otherwise, it cannot happen. That is why you just
have to say that it really is separate indeed! But as long as the
illusion (bhranti) is there, it remains bound. On the day ‘we’
give you Gnan here, we separate the Self (Atma) and the non-
Self (anatma) and from that point onwards the direct experience
of Bhagwan (the Self), will never leave you. It is then that you
will start seeing your own faults (dosh). Otherwise, until then
you will not be able to see faults. As you begin to see the faults,
they will disperse.
Attainment of Gnan Results Through Deep
Intent
Questioner: What lies in my fate? When will I receive
the Gnan that you talk about? Give me a time period.
