Aptavani-9
Questioner: We have made a habit of making intense
mental notes only.
Dadashri: Yes, but that habit will have to be broken, will
it not? Until now you were ‘Chandulal’ and now You have
become ‘Shuddhatma’. So if that has changed, should this not
change too? Will You not have to let go of the intense mental
notes? How long can you keep making such notes? ‘We’ do not
have any kind of notes, no matter what anyone might say. From
the very beginning, ‘we’ have not kept any notes. What do
worldly people call that? They call it dissipation of previously
held opinions (purvagraha). Call it what you will, call it
prejudice or anything else, but keeping intense mental notes is
harmful. Intense mental note itself is a tanto. How can there be
even the slightest of misery? If there is any misery, it is due to
nondha (mental notes). How can there be any misery in the
ocean of bliss? Is this Gnan not the ocean of bliss?
Questioner: It is Dada, it is.
Dadashri: But do you still not make intense mental notes?
Questioner: Dada, they linger on.
Dadashri: Do not harbor them anymore and if that
happens, erase them. To keep a tanto means to be obstinate.
It means to insist! Don’t you think that people come and say
things to ‘us’ too?
Questioner: But what is the reason to keep a tanto (link
of intense mental note) now?
Dadashri: Yes, keeping a tanto has not helped; it has
only caused the account of karma to fill up.
Why keep a note of changing karmas?
What is the justice of nature when someone insults you?
That person insults you due to the fruition of your karma. The
time of expression of that karma is over for him, and it is over
