accomplished during the course of my life?’ I say,‘ Moksha- final liberation can be attained in one or two more life times. What is the point of expecting anything else?’ What is the benefit of wrong expectations?
All this is also‘ I-ness’
There will not be any more garva or garavata once the‘ I-ness’ has dissolved away. Here the garva and garavata still remain( in discharge). What are the attributes of the one without‘ I-ness’? Such a person will accept whatever abuse people give him. He will accept any beating. To side with the ego is considered‘ I-ness’. To lose upayog – to lose the awareness of‘ I am separate from the body’- is called‘ I-ness’.
Even when You lose upayog for a little while; it is called‘ I-ness’. You say that you‘ become one with whatever goes on inside, you become tanmayakar( engrossed) with it but later you become aware of it’, all that occurs because of your‘ I- ness’.
Purusharth is needed in whatever is unfolding in front of you
Questioner: Is vyavasthit formed in such a way that it makes one remain absorbed( tanmayakar) in the unfolding karma( udaya)?
Dadashri: That is precisely how vyavasthit is; that is the definition of udaya- unfolding karma. Vyavasthit is such that one will become engrossed in the unfolding karma, he will become the owner of thoughts, speech and actions( tanmayakar). And that is where purusharth- independent spiritual endeavor- is to be applied. At that moment( tapa) inner penance will occur for sure.
When will one arrive at such a subtle understanding? It will happen only when one gets into it, with applied awareness( purusharth).
