Dadashri : Are you married?
Questioner : No.
Dadashri : Do you have sexual thoughts about anyone?
Questioner : Sometimes…
Dadashri : Beware. The consequences of sexual thoughts
and actions about anyone other than your spouse are very grave.
You will be digging a very deep hole for yourself, from which you
will not be able to climb out. So walk very carefully and be very
cautious. You are still young and that is why I am cautioning you.
If you were an old man, I would not say anything.
Questioner : Yes Dada, I understand. I will try my best
not to harbour sexual thoughts.
Dadashri : Do not even entertain such thoughts. If you
feel sexual attraction towards any woman, you must instantly do
pratikraman; ask for forgiveness from Dada Bhagwan. (P.425)
Questioner : What should I do when my mom and dad
get angry with me?
Dadashri : Just say ‘ Jai Sat Chit Anand’. And keep saying,
‘ Jai Sat Chit Anand, Jai Sat Chit Anand’ and they will eventually
calm down.
(P.433)
If dad is quarrelling with mom, and the children start saying,
‘Jai Sat Chit Anand’, the parents will become embarrassed. Just
press the panic button that will start the alarm, ‘Jai Sat Chit Anand’,
and the quarrel will come to an abrupt end.
(P.433)
Conduct yourself in such a way that everyone at home is
happy with you. If they hurt you, settle the dispute with equanimity;
without attachment or abhorrence and try to make them all happy.
