The Essence of All Religion 35 terms ‘bhaavna’ and ‘bhaav’ interchangeably. Now these terms are being defined precisely. ‘Chandubhai’ is the name given by Dadashri to the one that has been separated from the Self, after the Gnan Vidhi. The mahatma substitutes his own worldly name for Chandubhai.) Questioner : What is the difference between ‘bhaavna’ and ‘bhaav’? Dadashri : Both are within Chandubhai. Yes, you are correct that there is a difference between bhaav and bhaavna. Questioner : Bhaavna is pavitra (pure) and bhaav can be good or bad? Dadashri : No. It is not that bhaavna can be pavitra (pure) only. Bhaavnaa can be apavitra (impure) also. There can be a bhaavna of burning someone’s house down and also there can be a bhaavna of building a house for someone. So bhaavna can be used in both ways, but bhaav is considered ‘charge’ and bhaavna is considered ‘discharge’. When you feel, “I have a bhaav to do this, I have to do this,” that too is a bhaavna, it is not a bhaav. Bhaav is something that is ‘charge’. This whole world has come into existence because of bhaavkarma, (charge karma, cause). Even though you cannot do anything positive, you must have the bhaav for it. I have taken away the bhaavkarma of mahatmas. Everyone else have bhaavkarma, so they have to ask for the strength. Whatever strength they need, they should ask from Dada Bhagwan, the Lord within. Questioner : These other people have to ask for this strength, but what happens when the mahatmas ask for strength and they have all these bhaavnas? .
