needs to let go. There is nothing like that on the path to
moksha. What else? You have to let go of all the harmful
worldly things.
One will understand this if he tries to and if he does not
have a habit of ‘tasting sweet things’.
Questioner: Now if one is being crafty (chatur), how
can he get rid of his own craftiness and cleverness (chaturai)?
Dadashri: He is not able to recognize his craftiness and
cleverness himself and he will not believe you even if you were
to tell him that he is being crafty.
Questioner: It can be very difficult to follow the path of
moksha and become free from this fault of deceit (kapat).
Dadashri: It is not difficult. You will be able to reach
your goal by maintaining your intent (bhavna) to be rid of this
fault. It will not take long for the one who wants to get rid of
these faults. It cannot be difficult, can it? Everyone has such
deceit (kapat). In the current time cycle, where can such deceit
(kapat) be absent?
Questioner: Kapat is involved in dealing with another
individual but when it comes to one’s own prakruti and Atma
(the Self), kapat is at work there too, is it not?
Dadashri: No, not in that.
Questioner: The other person may be being crafty
(chaturai), but if he finds ‘sweetness’ in that then is kapat not
at play there?
Dadashri: No, that is not considered kapat. That poor
man is likely to get fooled. He has a habit of ‘tasting sweetness’
and that is why he gets fooled.
Questioner: Awareness (jagruti) does not remain at that
time, does it?
