Aptavani-9
27
Yet what do people tell me? ‘This Chandulal is the way
he always was’, but ‘we’ are not concerned about that. In that
situation what do ‘we’ tell them? ‘We’ tell them, ‘The Chandulal
that you see is different from the Chandulal ‘we’ see.’ People
see faults, do they not? Will someone not say to you, ‘you run
after ‘Dada’ but you are still just the way you were before?’
There ‘You’ are not that obstinate ‘one’. Nevertheless You
should listen to what they tell you and then when you go home,
‘You’ have to tell Chandulal, ‘People will tell you what they see
and how they see you, so now you need to shape up. ‘Dada’
and ‘I’ are with you and so straighten up in our presence.’ Then
he (Chandulal) will straighten up but otherwise a person cannot
shape up even if he wants to; he would not be able to do so on
his own. Or else a guru can also straighten him up but that guru
has to be straight himself. However, it is difficult to find such
a guru!
This Akram Vignan is like that
So, the one who was obstinate is not ‘I’. This is how one
vacates the whole place altogether. Then what else is left? The
‘one’ who was in guilt became free from the liability of that guilt.
The original guilty ‘one’ is left right where he was. The main
guilty one was indeed ‘he’ (Chandulal). But ‘You’ (the real self)
had unnecessarily become a partner. Now You have become
straight, have You not? Now that You have become straight,
You will remove Chandulal’s obstinacy. Chandulal’s obstinacy
will not leave as long as there is partnership with You. Now the
partnership is broken and so You will remove Chandulal’s
obstinacy even through scolding, if necessary.
Therefore, the power of this Akram Vignan is such that it
gives you the separation of: ‘The one that is obstinate is not ‘I’;
I am a pure Soul (Shuddhatma).’
Questioner: So the one whom he is trying to improve
does not improve even if he spends his entire life doing so, but
that is not the Self to begin with. Is that how it is?
