others? How can I give happiness to others?
Dadashri: Just have this inner intent (bhaav), nothing
else. Just maintain the bhaav, ‘May no one be hurt because of
my extra pride (abhimaan) and may people become happy.’
And then, if someone does get hurt, do pratikraman and move
on. What else can you do? Should you stay up the whole night
for that? You do not have to do that. And it is not possible to
stay up even if you want to. Then what will you do?
Nevertheless, you still have to be careful so that no one
gets hurt because of your actions.
Questioner: In that sense, the entire worldly life is a
result of the ego. The result of ‘I am Chandulal’ is the entire
worldly life, is it not?
Dadashri: But now, after attaining Gnan, that ego is gone
for You. If that ego was still there, then new consequences
would continue to arise. New consequences do not arise after
attaining this Gnan. And the old ones (effect in this life of causes
created in the past life) keep going away. The old ones will go
away. The ultimate solution (liberation) is at hand. That ‘tank’
(cycle of cause and effect of karma) is not being filled anew.
Some people have a fifty-gallon tank and some have a two-
hundred and fifty thousand gallon tank. The bigger the tank, the
longer it will take to empty it. But it has started to drain for sure.
For the one for whom it is emptying, what does it matter?
Questioner: But as it is emptying, like the force of the
flood water, it will topple someone, and it may even collide with
someone and kill him!
Dadashri: Yes, all that is its result. What does that have
to do with You, the Self? But if someone gets hurt then you
should do pratikraman.
Anger and Its Reactions
