Pure Love
45
You Are Beyond Worldly Love
The Self is unattached and free, and You are That. It is
not something that I have given you. It is actually ‘your’ own
real nature but you may think that Dada has given you this
unattached state, and this makes you feel indebted to Dada.
There is no need to thank me. Furthermore, if I were to
believe that I am benefiting you, then my love will begin to
change. I cannot believe that I am obliging you. Therefore, I
have to remain in complete understanding and in absolute
awareness.
The detached state is your own nature. What do you
think? Is it something that I have given you or is it actually your
own inherent nature?
Questioner: My own nature!
Dadashri: Yes, say it like that. If you say, “Dada gave
me”, to everything, then when will it all end?
Questioner: But it was you who made us aware and
awakened us, Dada.
Dadashri: Yes, but that is all I did; I awakened you. But
when you say, ‘Dada has given me everything’, all I have really
done is given you what was already yours.
Questioner: You gave us what was ours, but did we
even know that it was ours?
Dadashri: You did not know that but you did find out
eventually! The glory of this knowing is something else! How
glorious this is! This grandeur would not go away even if
someone were to insult you. If on the other hand, this knowledge
were not there, a person would feel insulted if someone did not
acknowledge him in a public reception. Now look at the
difference between the two!
