intense mental notes. What do these mental notes (nondha) do?
They make the mind carry vengeance; a poisonous sting and
thus it becomes inclined to sting and attack. If someone ‘stings’
you, your mind will become inclined to sting back, so do not
keep intense mental notes. These things go on but do not keep
intense mental notes. He is the victim of the fruition of his karma.
Nondha creates a worldly life for the next life. Nondha does not
exercise its superiority over the mind, nor does it create another
mind in the next life. Nondha is a ‘poisonous’ sting, and one
keeps the ‘poison’ within. When there is too much poison of the
nondha within, it will not refrain from avenging by ‘stinging’.
Questioner: Who makes the intense mental notes and
who forms the opinion?
Dadashri: The ego does both.
Questioner: Does the intellect make a note?
Dadashri: It has nothing to do with the intellect. To give
and take is job of the ego.
Absolute darshan of The Gnani
Making an intense mental note is something very different.
I can understand what I am saying but it is little difficult to show
others. I tell many people not to keep nondha, they even
understand that it is due to their nondha that they are in certain
predicaments.
‘We’ do not keep any note. All circumstances arise, but
‘we’ do not make any nondha.
Questioner: What do you see at that time?
Dadashri: ‘We’ look at the whole picture and not just
the isolated note like, ‘he was the only one running.’
Questioner: But even in the whole picture, he is the one
running, is he not?
