Aptavani-9
So you can also get rid of it through the ego. Then ‘we’
can get rid of the ego for you. Otherwise, how long will it take
to remove this disease of countless past lives? If it is going to
come out, it will come out in the presence of someone like ‘us’
otherwise you can forget about it!
That is when intense greed (lalacha) goes
away
Questioner: Are there any other solutions for one to
become free from his lalacha?
Dadashri: Lalacha will only go away if he lets go of it
himself. If he destroys it completely in every way, then only will
it happen. Otherwise, it is suicidal by nature. Intense greed
(lalacha) means to commit suicide. There is no written solution
for it.
Questioner: How can one get rid of it completely if he
wants to?
Dadashri: No it will not go away completely. If he stops
everything that tempts him, if he does not indulge in his intense
greed (lalacha) for twelve months, then he will be able to forget
it. He needs to remove himself from indulging in experiencing the
pleasure. The lalachu will be ready even if the temptation arises
at two in the morning. He does not even care for sleep.
If he puts aside everything that tempts him and does not
even think about it and does pratikraman when he happens to
think about it, then he can be free. Otherwise, even writers of
scriptures do not have any solution for it. Everything has a
solution, but there is no solution for lalacha. There is a solution
for lobh (greed). When a greedy person incurs a heavy loss, his
greed (lobh) will go away in a hurry.
A person hurts others because of his intense
greed (lalacha)
He runs around whole day in intense greed. Intense greed
