as if we were of the same age. Should we not be able to see
some kind of result, at least? Think about this and one day you
will be able to understand. Once it comes into your understanding
then you will be able to find it. And one needs to have an
impartial approach - not take sides of Chandulal (the relative
self). This ability to see from the viewpoint of the child may be
difficult for you due to a deficiency of keen internal awareness
(jagruti), but it will come to you eventually.
All negative worldly interactions (vyavahar) occur because
of ‘this’ mistake. Interactions, which are labeled wrong or
inappropriate, are due to ‘this’ mistake. The main mistake is the
mistake of having the belief ‘I know’. This, ‘I know’ is a very
grave fundamental mistake. Consequently, all other mistakes
follow. All other mistakes arise from this main mistake.
Obstinacy (aadayee) persists due to this mistake only. Otherwise,
one would be simple and straight. It is easy to be simple and
accepting of Dada. Here, with Dada, you are in harmony. Does
that require any effort (purusharth) on your part? You need to
have the same kind of harmony with a person with whom you
do not get along. That is your purusharth.
The disease of ‘I know something’ exists within every
person. This Gnan increases along side this intoxication (keyf) of
‘I know’. The intoxication is the obstruction (antaray). If this
obstruction of this keyf is not there, then the Gnan would fit very
nicely and will grow very beautifully.
Questioner: That intoxication arises many times even
when we do not want it.
Dadashri: Yes that will happen; it will happen naturally.
Questioner: How can that intoxication come to an end?
Dadashri: You should not let it arise in the first place. It
will not stop once it starts; it will not go away. Therefore, you
must not let it arise.
