same thing not going on before he witnessed it? People call a
person who gets caught stealing, a thief, but those who do not
get caught are thieves from within, are they not? Here people
only label the ones who get caught as thieves. Why are you
calling them thieves? In fact they are trivial thieves because they
get caught. Do you think those who steal on a regular basis are
likely to get caught?
Questioner: But it is when one is caught stealing, that he
is called a thief.
Dadashri: No, the ones who steal occasionally are the
ones who get caught. And because they are caught, people call
them thieves. The real thief is the one who does not get caught,
but this is how the world is.
So this man understood ‘our’ whole Vignan. Then he tells
me, ‘From now I will not be alarmed even when someone puts
his arm around my wife.’ Yes that is how it should be if you want
to go to moksha! Otherwise, you will keep quarreling with your
wife. Your wife can never be your wife in this current time cycle
of dushamkaal (aka as Kaliyug, this current time cycle is
characterized as a time of lack of unity in people’s thoughts,
speech and action; an era of moral and spiritual decline) and it
is futile to even expect that. This is the dushamkaal, she is yours
as long as she stays with you and cares for you otherwise she
is someone else’s if she cares for another.
That is why ‘we’ have told all the mahatmas, not to
harbor suspicions. ‘We’ also ask them why would they take
things for granted and believe everything true just because they
have not witnessed anything in this current time cycle. Everything
is hollow and without substance to begin with. If ‘we’ were to
describe to you what ‘we’ have seen, no man would be living.
Therefore, in this time cycle, there is nothing better than to be
alone and be pleasantly absorbed in living alone. Furthermore,
if one has this Gnan, then there is nothing better.
