Purusharth Against Bad Qualities of Prakruti
Attachment to Abhorrence and Abhorrence
to Attachment
Questioner: If someone bears a grudge with me without
any reason, or has abhorrence (dwesh) towards me, or is being
deceitful with me without any reason, does that mean that in
some previous life I had attachment (raag) for him?
Dadashri: Yes. You have created a karmic account
(hisaab) and this is its reaction.
(200)
Questioner: So what kind of an account is that? Is it one
of attachment (raag) or is it one of abhorrence (dwesh)?
Dadashri: Deceit (kapat) falls under attachment (raag);
and ego and anger fall under abhorrence (dwesh). Deceit and
greed (lobh) go into attachment (raag). Desire for greed (lobh)
goes into attachment. Do you understand what I am saying?
Questioner: Yes, I do.
Dadashri: Which kind of attachment is this? It is greed
(lobh) and deceit (kapat). And pride (maan) and anger (krodh)
go into abhorrence (dwesh). Therefore, if someone is being
deceitful, that is attachment (raag). Anyone one has attachment
for will resort to deceit.
Not a single lifetime has gone by without raag (attachment).
Until one attains Self-realization, one continues to do attachment
and abhorrence (raag and dwesh); there is no third thing at all.
