Pure Love
you? You need money, you need other women, is that not
infatuation and attraction? Even the need to have disciples is
infatuation and attraction.
There Is No Emotion In Love
Questioner: It is said that real love arises from the heart.
Emotions also arise from the heart, do they not?
Dadashri: No. That is not love. Love is pure. What
would happen to the passengers in a train, if the train were to
become ‘emotional’?
Questioner: There would be a problem. There would
be an accident.
Dadashri: People would die. Similarly, when a person
becomes emotional, innumerable organisms die within that
person’s body. He becomes responsible for it. There are many
such responsibilities that arise when one becomes emotional in
this manner.
Questioner: Without emotion, would a person not
become like a rock?
Dadashri: I am ‘emotionless’; do I look like a rock? I
do not have any ‘emotions’ at all. One with ‘emotions’ (above
and below normal) becomes ‘mechanical’ (the non-Self) but
one who is ‘in motion’ (normality) will not become ‘mechanical’
(remains as the Self).
Questioner: But if a person, who has not attained Self-
realization, were to be without ‘emotions’, would he not appear
like a rock?
Dadashri: That cannot happen! It can never happen.
Otherwise people will become insane. Even the insane are
emotional. The whole world is emotional.
