The Essence of All Religion 33
these bhaavanas are the foundation that will lend its support in your life. These bhaavanas will accompany you into your next life, whereas these events will dissipate.
Questioner: But is it not because of these events that we are able to make the bhaavana?
Dadashri: No. The events have nothing to do with it. Only these bhaavanas will carry forward with you. These events have no support so they wither away. No matter how wonderful the occasion, it will pass. These bhaavanas have to be invoked, but the results will come into effect later on.
Questioner: But it is because of the events that our bhaavs, then are we not to change that bhaav by using these bhaavnas in the nine kalam?
Dadashri: That will not help. Whatever positive deeds you have done in your previous life will help you now. Had you started this process in your previous life, you would be able to change completely in this life.
Questioner: Are the current events the result of bhaavs from the previous life?
Dadashri: Yes, only bhaav will come into effect. Nothing else will. Bhaav is the seed, and dravya( that which unfolds as events in this life) is the effect. Dravya is the crop of the seeds. If you plant just one tiny corn seed you will get many corn on the cob.
These kalams are merely to be spoken. You have to do these bhaavnas everyday. In essence it is the seed that we are planting. Having planted it, just wait and watch the effect whenever it comes forth. But until then you have to nurture it and fertilize it. Otherwise there is nothing that needs to be changed as the events unfold in this life. Whatever these events are, they are the effects of your bhaavnas of the past life.
