Aptavani-9
- if you make the Gnani happy) then the entire universe (one’s
total being) will become happy. But it is not easy to make him
happy because the Gnani Purush is extremely straight (sarad)
and that is why it is difficult to do so. An hour’s worth of the
Gnani’s rajipo will accomplish your goal of salvation. I tell
everyone and I give them a guarantee that I can bestow the
same state as mine upon the one who wants it, within an hour.
But it is difficult to attain straightness (saradata), is it not?
The Gnani Purush is extremely sarad (straight) and that is
why it is difficult to attain his rajipo and please him. If the Gnani
Purush were not straight (asarad) then he would be easily
pleased. However, this Gnani Purush is extremely sarad and
thus He is difficult to please. Now how can you please the one
who is sarad (straight)? You can please him when you become
sarad (straight) yourself. Yes, He will be pleased if he comes
down from that level (a sarad level), how can He be pleased
otherwise? You can own the whole universe with an hour of the
Gnani’s rajipo! That is how much rajipo He has. What can the
One, who wants nothing in this world, not give? But it is not
easy to attain such a rajipo. You have to become straight
(sarad) in order to attain it. The Gnani Purush is more sarad
than even a year old child. Now how can you attain His rajipo
and please Him, when you are not straight? How can you attain
that from a straight (sarad) person when you are not straight
(sarad) in front of him? You need that level here. Do you
understand all this?
A Dramatic ego!
Questioner: It is said in the Aptasutra, ‘There is no
problem with the ego that is flowing but to seize the ego even
a little, is obstinacy.’ So what is flowing ego?
Dadashri: The ego that you see in women is a flowing
ego. It is ego when she says, ‘Right now I am making soup and
I will cook the vegetables in no time’, but it is a flowing ego.
