instantly that this is the place where the disease is going to grow.
That is the direct cause of the disease! Become very alert there!
Did you ever experience sweetness in this matter before?
The day the sweetness takes hold within, is the day this disease
will arise. Then if the sweetness is experienced again in it, it will
sprout long shoots, just like the shoots on the mango tree. It
reaches a certain height with two shoots, then with an additional
pair of shoots, it will grow taller; it will continue to grow in this
manner. If you drink the water of this sweetness, it will nurture
this plant. If the sweetness arises upon hearing someone say
‘Wow Chandulal! You have become a Gnani’, then the disease
has started to grow within.
Now if that happens, if the sweetness is experienced, you
should apply another solution. This solution is to erase it
immediately. We do have solutions for it. It is natural for that
disease to arise. The disease of the seed that has been sown in
the past life will manifest in this life but we do have solutions for
the diseases, here. This Vignan (science) we have is not without
solutions, is it?
Questioner: No. Here every sentence is capable of
getting rid of all diseases.
Dadashri: Yes, we do have the solutions. The root of this
disease lies in the sweetness that prevails when someone gives
you compliments, ‘what a great thing has happened.’ And there
is sweetness in this, is there not? It will make you forget
liberation.
Questioner: But it is dangerous, very dangerous as far as
liberation is concerned.
Dadashri: Yes, dangerous, it is killing of the self
(atmaghati)! If someone says that to you, you simply have to
reply, ‘my dear fellow, only I know my situation. How would
you know?’ If you say this, he will calm down. Do you want to
be a guru?
