not believe that this is the path to moksha. But if we ask them (mahatma), ‘do youexperience the bliss of freedom?’ They would reply, ‘yes’. So if you faith in himyou would be able to come here, and even that if the obstacles have been broken. Ifthe obstacles are there, then even when one sits to dine, someone would come andtell him, ‘uncle, get up, get up’, don’t they do that? If you tell him, ‘wait, I’ll bethere in a couple of minutes’, he will say, ‘No, not even in two minutes.’ So willobstacles spare anyone? These are all the obstacles that impede everyone.Questioner: What should we do to break the obstacles?Dadashri: You are asking for solution, now? But I am here now, why dowe need solutions now? Now just ask for whatever you want, without muchfurther ado. Ask so that you will never have to ask again. Ask for whatever youwant, why don’t you? If you want nirvikalp samadhi (the unaffected state of theSelf, without any ‘I-ness’), if you want liberation, if you want the divine vision(divya chakshu) – ask for whatever you want. You ask and I will give. In doingso, I am not truly the giver. I am simply instrumental in the process (nimit).Whatever I give you; it is your own. I simply have the key. So ask now, whateverit is. If you don’t want to ask right now, then ask for it two months later. I willgive it to you again. Then you will have to come back here again.Questioner: No, no why would I keep it pending for tomorrow?Dadashri: If there is an obstacle, the mind tells you from within, ‘it willhappen, what’s the hurry?’ This is what the mind will tell you from within. Whatcan one do if the obstacles still exist?When you keep having the desire to go to ‘Dada’s ultimate satsang’; that isthe beginning of the destruction of obstacles, and in going there. And when youdon’t have any difficulty getting there, consider that the obstacles destroyed. Thoseobstacles will break. If you take Dada’s name, the obstacles will break. If yousay, ‘I bow down to Dada Bhagwan’, then it will break, so say that.All that happens through grace! Yes, what cannot happen through grace?What is the value of words? People have antarayas (obstacles). Is it not a wonderthat despite ‘cash’ (instant) moksha around, one is not able to attain it?Questioner: One will not attain it even if it is right next to him, will he?
Dadashri: Those are the antaraya, are they not? Did you meet me afteryears? You must have been trying to meet me for over two years or so, right?Have you met me over a year? You must have been after me for one to two years,have you?Questioner: But I did tell you that I will come. But the circumstance neverarose.Dadashri: No, so that itself is antaraya. Some people have lesser antaraya,and you people have more. Because other people are wise and these people are notwise, they are over-wise. Have you ever been overwise? They will also create allkinds of obstacles of objections (vandha-vachaka) because they are over-wise,won’t they? A straightforward man will not create obstacles through objections. …One saint was saying that Akram path is of useless people. One saint madethe statement that the Akram path is for akarmi (usless) people.Questioner: He bound demerit <strong>karma</strong> (paap), did he not?Dadashri: No, if it were a demerit <strong>karma</strong> he created, he would have toendure it’s effect. He just created an antaraya. One should not speak even onesentence without considering its consequences. Happens if one does? Antaraya(obstacle) towards the truth will be created and it will give rise to falsehood. Or ifsomeone is going to take Gnan, he would not let it materialize, then obstacles willbe created, and that will be gnan-antaraya, it is called darshan-antaraya.If someone comes to satsang and because of his opinion based belief(matartha), he says it is not worth going to Dada’s satsang; then he will not be ableto come to satsang again. Some people have been thinking about coming here forthe last nine years and they have not been able to do so, because they have keptcausing antarayas. And that man asked you if he can come here, you said yes anddid he not come immediately?Questioner: Yes.Dadashri: Obstacles were not created. So there is nothing if obstacles arenot created. If obstacles are created, you will not be able to come here for twentyyears!This is how obstacles have been created against the path of moksha
