Aptavani-8

Dadashri: It will come. You have made the inner intent
(bhavna), so it will come! How will it come if you have not
made the bhavna?
Questioner: I feel that ‘Delhi’ is very far away.
Dadashri: Gosh, nothing in the world is far away. If the

then ‘Come what may, I still want to destroy those obstacles’.
Or else, you should say to the Gnani, ‘Sir, please destroy my
obstacles.’ So, even the Gnani Purush can destroy them.

that is called an obstacle karma (antaray karma).

all? When you feel cold, do you not experience it? When you
