the poor straight people do? They will say, ‘Let him have his
way, whatever may become of us, so be it.’ The poor wife will
even give up all her jewelry.
Questioner: The one who does the tragu, does so with
an understanding, does he not?
Dadashri: He understands everything. Tragu means to
willfully and knowingly manipulate for one’s own agenda.
Consequences of a tragu
Questioner: What are the consequences for doing
tragu?
Dadashri: One completely bypasses the entire Tiryancha
Gati (the animal life form), i.e. in the next life he will go directly
to hell. Is it an ordinary feat to by-pass the entire subhuman
life?!!
Questioner: Is that considered raudradhyan (adverse
internal meditation that hurts the self as well as others)?
Dadashri: In many ways, raudradhyan is better. So if
anyone here has made the mistake of doing a tragu, come and
ask for forgiveness from ‘us’. If you do this several times, you
may erase one or so of this fault. It is considered a very grave
wrongdoing. One bypasses the entire sub-human life form and
goes straight to hell. What is more, it will not be the hell one is
born into for doing raudradhyan either. Through tragu, people
put others through living hell all the while getting what they want,
at any cost. At all cost, meaning no matter what may happen,
one will not rest until one gets what one wants.
In opposing the one doing a tragu
(manipulative tantrum)
Questioner: In the current time-cycle, such tragas are
occurring everywhere.
Dadashri: No, not everywhere, those are smaller tragas.
