Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: That is good. Mistakes will continue to happen,
but when you become aware of them happening then your
awareness will increase. He that becomes aware of his own
mistakes, I call a Gnani! The Self Realised person may see his
mistakes with or without suffering. In the initial stages after Gnan,
there is some effect of the mistake or transient suffering. Upon
investigation on the reason for suffering he becomes aware of his
mistake and reverts to the Self. Know that the level of your Gnan
has increased when your awareness comes without any suffering.
You must have a clear distinction between Knowledge and
ignorance. The distinction between knowledge and ignorance is
established.
Questioner: When a person recognizes his mistake, will
that mistake cease?
Dadashri: It is not important whether it ceases or not.
What is important is the awareness of the mistake. He is forgiven
regardless of whether or not his mistakes cease, but the
unawareness of the mistake is not forgiven. There is absolutely no
question about stopping the mistakes, but the unawareness of the
mistakes is not forgiven. Mistakes occur out of one’s unawareness.
Questioner: Unawareness after Gnan prevails most of the
time, so does that mean that mistakes are occurring during this
time?
Dadashri: It is not that they might be occurring, they are
occurring.
Questioner: How do we get rid of that unawareness so
that we may become free from our mistakes?
Dadashri: One has to attain higher levels of awareness
