has blossomed, your pocket will be picked and you will blame
the culprit. Through flawed vision (drashti dosh), one will see
pudgal (the non-Self) as individual separate entities.
Questioner: Is this considered the fault of the physical
eyes (charmachakshu)? If we are in ignorance (agnanta), how
are we supposed to know that we are in ignorance (agnanta)?
Dadashri: You would not know that. Then whatever one’s
vision (drashti), that is how he becomes. This vision (drashti)
of the physical eyes; is not a vision (drashti). One’s vision is
according to one’s knowledge (gnan). His vision is proportionate
to his knowledge. A person’s vision is based on whatever
knowledge (gnan) he has acquired. And whatever that vision is
like; that is how he sees everything around him. ‘He is my
enemy, and he is my friend’, he will say. Now in this world, there
is no friend and no enemy, but that is how his vision (drashti)
has been composed, which is why he sees things in that way.
Questioner: If something is wrong, we should give it up.
If we make that kind of effort, then gradually things might change.
Dadashri: Now if you want to go to moksha, you need
to get rid of this duality (dwandva) of right-wrong. And if you
want to come into the auspicious (shubha), then you should
have abhorrence (dwesh) and disdain (tiraskar) towards the
things that are wrong, and attachment (raag) for the things that
are good. And for the pure (shuddha); you do not need to have
attachment (raag) or abhorrence (dwesh) for things that are
good or bad. That is because there is no such thing as good and
bad; it is just impurity of vision. This looks good and this looks
bad, that in itself is the impurity of the vision, and that itself is a
wrong vision (mithyatva).
Therefore the poisoned vision must cease. That poisoned
vision is what ‘we’ remove for you. Once that poisoned vision
is gone, you will have the awareness of the Atma. Otherwise,
it is not just any old thing, to be able to attain the awareness of
