Questioner: If someone insults us, where is deceit
(kapat) in that?
Dadashri: There is no deceit (kapat) in that. Kapat
makes one take advantage of his own self. Deceit makes one
digs his own grave. In the four kashaya of anger-pride-illusion
and greed, illusion means deceit (the illusion deceives the self).
Deceit (kapat) has become an enormously dense mass within.
The karmic account that is created is verily of deceit.
Everywhere, deceit binds an account (new karma for which
repayment will have to make in the next life). Otherwise nothing
can bother you.
Now that I have given you this Gnan, kashayas will no
longer occur. People stray off in the direction of kashayas
because of their old habits (prior to Gnan) of wanting to ‘taste’
what’s going on. You will go and ‘taste’ it even when I tell you
not to. This Gnan is such that, deceit (kapat) will not survive in
anyone.
Questioner: This deceit prevents the awareness (jagruti)?
Dadashri: Anger-pride-greed also will not let you
maintain awareness. Deceit will make you completely unaware.
The owner (the one in whom deceit takes place) himself will not
know what deceit (kapat) has taken place. The owner (person
committing deception) himself will not know that he is employing
deceit!! However in instances of anger-pride-greed, he may be
somewhat aware. This deceit (kapat) is very deep; even the one
doing kapat (deceit) will not be aware that he is doing it.
Questioner: If the one doing kapat cannot tell that he is
doing kapat then how is he to recognize it? How can he be rid
of this fault if he cannot identify it?
Dadashri: This is hidden, not only from the doer of the
kapat, but everyone else around him too.
Questioner: How can one get rid of these faults of deceit
(kapat)?
