Antraya karma - Events Dadabhagwan

Dadashri: Just understand its opposite nature. There are many greatpeople; they were like that (short lived). This is not so for the Tirthankars. LordMahavir had a life span of seventy two years. Life span of seventy two years isconsidered complete. In this time era, life span of seventy two years is consideredcomplete.[It is] Not an auspicious life (shubha ayaush), [but] inauspicious life(ashubha ayaush). So the ayushakarma (life-span determining karma) breaks. Ifthe life span is an auspicious one, then one will enjoy it.Lord Krishna had lived nine-hundred fifty years. Still he was short by fiftyyears. His life span was not complete. He was shot by an arrow, wasn’t he? Hislife-span was not exactly complete, but still nine-hundred and fifty is consideredcomplete. Fifty-one hundred years ago, the life-span used to be a thousand years.Since Lord Mahavir, life-span has been hundred years. Before it used to be long,now the life-span and everything else is decreasing.Obstacles in religionOurs is a hundred percent darshan (vision). So it is a three hundred and sixtydegree vision. And today all the religions are in opposition to each other. What willpeople of one religion claim? They will tell you, ‘if you go to the religion of thegoddess mother (mataji), you will become mithyatvi (deluded). You cannot go intoMahadevji, otherwise you will become mithyatvi. Hey, you are creating obstacle(antaraya). You are creating obstacle in darshan. You cannot say that, you arecreating obstacle in both, darshan and Gnan. You cannot talk this way. Don’t gothere if you do not want to. And people cannot make statements like, ‘instead ofgoing to the derasar (Jain temple), it is better to be crushed by an elephant!’ Theyare all creating obstacles. Did you understand? All these are subtle talks that youshould understand.Who [what] creates obstacles on the way to moksha? Opinions. One cannotunderstand even ignorance (agnan) because of opinions, let alone knowledge(Gnan).If one does not get the benefit of religion, then it means that he has obstacleto religion (dharma antaraya). You have a desire to get the benefit of religion, butyou cannot attain it, that is your openly evident obstacle.Questioner: It’s the obstacle that has come from the past, hasn’t it?
