whereas in the fifth time cycle, this unity is broken. People in the
fifth time cycle do not say what they think and they do not do
what they say, while in the fourth time cycle, people say and do
exactly what is on their mind. If a person living in the fourth time
cycle says he feels like burning down the whole village, you can
be assured that he will do so. Today, there is no substance in what
people say or think.
From Which World Can One Go There?
Questioner: Under what conditions can one go there, if
one wants to?
Dadashri: One has to become like those who live there. If
he acquires the qualities of the people living in the fourth time
cycle, if he loses the negative characteristics, which prevail during
the fifth time cycle, he can go there. For example, if someone
were to insult you and you have no bad feelings or thoughts
towards that person whatsoever, and then you will go there.
Questioner: Ordinarily one cannot attain moksha, final
liberation, directly from here. One has to go to Mahavideh kshetra
and then attain moksha from there. Why so?
Dadashri: That is just the way these worlds are. If a
person’s characteristics and traits become suitable for the fourth
time cycle and even though he may not have received Self-
realization, he will be pulled there. Likewise if the people over
there become like those of the fifth time cycle, they will be pulled
here. Such is the nature of these worlds. No one has to be taken
there or brought here. The nature of these worlds will transport
one to the tirthankaras. This is why we give importance to
Simandhar Swami. Therefore, those who constantly revere Lord
Simandhar, worship Him, do His live darshan there, be near Him,
sit at His feet, will all be liberated completely.
