Gamme Teym karine, maar khaayiiney pan ek fero discharge kashaya jityaa etley ey Shakti ootpan thayee....
Gnani Purush Dadashri
When you manage to conquer the inner enemies that are unfolding in this life, even if it takes personal suffering, then inner energies will arise.


Dadashri: The Energy
within arises as one wins the war with the discharge kashayas ...the anger,
false pride, deluded behavior, greed and deceit that exist as enemies within.
Win this war by whatever means necessary and The Energy within will arise. This
inner war is much tougher than winning worldly wars. This is because these inner
enemies delude your vision and therefore you cannot see them, as enemies
living within.
Questioner: If one writes the word kashaya...as a reminder of their existence within...for an entire life time, even then one will not get rid of them. Whereas the problems with something external, with some other person will be resolved in days or months.
Dadashri: Indeed these inner enemies can not be conquered in many many life times.
Pain exists because of this kingdom of kashayas. Otherwise there is nothing called pain, suffering or misery. Now you have attained The Self, and yet why is it that The Bliss of the Self is veiled? The influence of the army of discharge...that which unfolds in the relative realm through thoughts, speech and acts of File One (the worldly self)... kashayas exists. That influence veils Your Bliss. Kashaya means pain and where pain exists kashaya exist. And Bliss means lack of kashayas. The Lord is without kashayas...akashayii.
In the absence of kashayas, there is no pain or suffering within. Nothing that someone else does, will affect you. Otherwise even if someone else has not done anything, you will suffer within.
Questioner: If we become the instrument of the slightest pain to someone or if we experience such pain, both these are called kashayas?
Dadashri: Yes. All are kashayas. Kashaya means worldly pain. Any type of pain and suffering is kashaya. There is internal pain and suffering...vedana. There may be no external pain . Internal pain or suffering continues. This is kashaya. Do you suffer such anguish within?
Questioner: Not pain, but the temporary depression comes over.
Dadashri: No objection to depression. It is the pain and anguish which is the problem and the one to be dealt with.
Questioner: Pain does not arise, Dada.
Dadashri: That is what you think...You are unable to see it. Your vision is gross so you cannot see the finer aspects.
Questioner: The slightest change in the experience of niraakudataa...the Bliss of The Unaffected...that Bliss..is pain, Dada?
Dadashri: Yes. Any change in your Bliss is pain...vyakudataa.
There are two types of kashayas. One kind is associated with happiness. This happiness leads to bondage. The other kind is associated with unhappiness. Here, with any pain and anguish within, binding..charging ie. causal karma happens. The charging is for effects in the next life. There is no binding if this happiness or unhappiness is known. Kashaya...the suffering of pain and pleasure causes bondage and there is no bondage if they are known, as they are, as they unfold. The nature of Gnan is such that it remains eternally aloof. Nothing affects it. The nature of Gnan is nirleyp...unaffected. Even with ignorance...agnan, Gnan remains unaffected. Even in kriyas...rituals and activities, Gnan remains nirleyp...unaffected.
Questioner: What is encompassed in kashayas? Anger-false pride-deceit-and greed?
Dadashri: Yes.
Questioner: And what else doe it include?
Dadashri: Anger, pride, deceit and greed. When kashaya awakens he will say,' What have I done to hurt him? Why is he scolding me?'
Questioner: Whose result is it ?What is the reason behind this result?
Dadashri: That is kashaya bhaav...the deep inner intent and association of the ego...I am Chandulal. It is the kashaya called maan...false pride. It is the kashaya of false pride that is causing this reaction.
Questioner: How does the Chetan...the Self remain separate in this?
Dadashri: That is natural. This is in kashaya and That is in the Self, if this is seen with jagruti...awakened awareness.
Questioner: So what kind of the upayoga...focused awareness...exists with this jagruti...awakened awareness?
Dadashri: It is quite natural. It does not require any effort or doer ship. Awareness arises simply as soon as a kashaya arises. It is like the law enforcement troops descending upon a crime scene.
Questioner: What is the essential difference and the explanation for the result of, ' What have I done to hurt him? Why is he scolding me?' and the result of the inner spontaneous workings of awakened awareness? When jagruti....awakened awareness starts working spontaneously, what happens?
Dadashri: With jagruti...awakened awareness, the other...the non Self....the kashaya reactions...separate spontaneously.
Questioner: Is it possible that there may be no reaction at all ? Meaning when the hurt of wounded false pride arises in, 'what wrong have I done to deserve this scolding and insult?'...
Dadashri: With the awakened awareness it becomes apparent that no one else is at fault, the fault is entirely mine and therefore the separation happens promptly.
Questioner: That means in the case of such a maan kashaya...the adverse internal meditation of pride arising...such an individual will not exhibit any overt sthhoola...outwardly behavior of reactive false pride....?
Dadashri: The outward reaction may appear but the inner connection of 'this is happening to me' is gone. This is the state of the Knower. This is what exists in all who have received our Gnan. As this awareness increases the inner energies of the Self express.
Jai Sat Chit Anand
all offerings towards the almighty
all awakenings towards the Supreme
Self
all efforts towards the bliss of true freedom
all dealings with
human beings and those who come across our life
will bring results
only if
there is synchrony and balance between the two wings of existence...Vyavahaar
& Nischaya
the world & the Self.
Vyavahaar
is defined by the Gnani as all that comes across these thoughts,
speech and actions...this world of ours
and the way we deal with all life
that comes in our path of this life.
Nischaya is
free will, independent of the circumstances of vyavahaar...independent of life
forces. Thus nischaya can only be
known & experienced after being graced by the Gnani...or
after realization of the Self.
Freedom...Mukti...Moksha...Enlightenment...Eternal Bliss...all become
synonymous when the two wings fly in synergy and then
one begins to
experience the true meaning of grace.
All of us who are endowed with the wing of thoughts,
speech and action go through our life and life events in the hope
and
prayers towards a higher meaning and purpose...even as some of us may come to
rest and pause in events that please the senses. Sooner or later man resorts to
a prayer...from the heart. But this only brings forth more life events with all
their entanglements of pleasure and pain, all transient and in the end all
falling under vyavahaar. Even the most profound acts and words that benefit
men...remain part of vyavahaar...a life event to be celebrated and then
memorialized and then forgotten by mankind. Life after life the dweller within
this life just passes on ...unknown to the one who says..." I am this body...I
am a father, I am a lover, I am a son...I am an old man...I am dying...."
Can one fly higher with a single wing ? and
this indeed is the case with all that is related to vyavahaar...these thoughts,
speech and acts of ours. Yes, one might think in the moments of glory in
life that he has risen...but all such fame and fortune is transient and is
associated with an end and hence The Gnani Purush comes forth with that which is
necessary to take us to
where we all yearn to fly...
To
the Original Abode of Bliss
where there is no fear and
flight from pain
where there is no attachments and
yearning for the desire of pleasure
to our True Self...called Nischaya
the other wing
which up until now we did not even know existed,
which we therefore never
learnt to use and exercise to help the other wing
to fly higher...and
higher...and higher...with grace and ease
With the help of this wing one
simply floats through this life
effortlessly
The
work load has been transferred and balanced
All fight and weariness is over
Only the Gnani Purush and his Grace remains...
To learn more about this flight to freedom
More Satsang With The Gnani Purush
With humble salutations to The Pure Self within you
