your prakruti in this way. Any amount of protection of the
prakruti is wrong. Let the prakruti play its role with You
meeting your obligation as the neighbor. But, how can You
protect it in this way?
If someone tells you to get out of the car, then You should
tell your prakruti, ‘you are being told to get off, so please do
so.’ If later, the same person says, ‘Come in the car,’ You
should say, ‘Please get in, you are being invited in.’
Questioner: I cannot remember ‘this is prakruti’ during
every circumstance.
Dadashri: That much awareness (jagruti) will not remain
and that is why ‘we’ keep telling you this over and over again,
so that You remain aware. But here when ‘we’ wake one up,
he tells me he is getting up but he turns over and goes right back
to ‘sleep’!
We have the wonderful knowledge of vyavasthit, do we
not? Is vyavasthit not a great knowledge-tool (sadhan)?
Questioner: It is a great tool. It is wonderful.
Dadashri: It will all come to an end, will it not? You are
convinced of that, are You not?
Questioner: But, in our Gnan, will the ‘I-ness’ go away
when we understand vyavasthit exactly?
Dadashri: Yes it will. I have given you vyavasthit for the
purpose of becoming free from ‘I-ness’. It is a scientific thing
(vastu) and that is why it is exact. It is not something that has
been conjured up or made up. The dependency (avlamban)
that has been given to You is not wrong; it is exact.
Questioner: One does not want to let go of ‘I-ness’ and
yet he talks about attaining the Self, what is that all about?
Dadashri: Yes that is why ‘we’ are saying that if the ‘I-
ness’ goes away, everything will run on its own. Why hang on
