this, separate the “my.” Keep all that comes under “my” to one side. For example, “my heart”; keep your heart on one side. What other things do we need to separate from this body? Questioner: The feet and all the sense organs. Dadashri: Yes, the five sense organs of perception (gnanendriyas) and five organs of action (karmendriyas), mind-intellect-chit-ego, and everything else (chit is the subtle component of vision and knowledge in the inner functioning instrument called antahkaran). Then do you say, “my egoism” or do you say, “I am egoism?” Questioner: “My egoism.” Dadashri: By saying “my egoism,” you will be able to separate that too, but you are not aware of other components that fall under “my.” That is why you are not able to do a complete separation. Your awareness has limitations. You are aware of only the gross (sthool) components, beyond which there are subtle (sookshma) components. The subtle components also need to be separated, after which there are two more levels of subtlety, subtler (sookshmatar) and subtlest (sookshmatam), which also need to be taken away. Only a Gnani Purush is able to achieve a separation at these subtle levels. Is it not possible to separate the two? If you keep on deducting “my” from “I” at every step and level and put all the things that fall under “my” on one side, then what will remain? Questioner: The “I.” Dadashri: That “I” is precisely what You are. That is the “I” that you need to realize. 7
For that, you will need the Gnani Purush. I will separate everything for you. Thereafter, You will continue to experience “I am pure Soul (Shuddhatma).” You should be able to experience that. Besides that, I will also give you the divine vision (divyachakshu) with which You will see the Self (Atma; Soul) in every living being (atmavat sarva bhuteshu). [4] How Can One Know “I”? Chanting-Penance, Vows and Disciplined Rituals Questioner: Are penance (tapa), vows (vrat) and disciplined rituals (niyam) necessary or are they unnecessary? Dadashri: All the medicines that are available in a pharmacy are necessary, but they are necessary for other people, and you only have to take the medicine that you need. In the same way, vows (vrat), penance, disciplined rituals, etc., are necessary. There is nothing wrong in this world. There is nothing wrong with penance or chanting. Everything is correct according to each individual’s viewpoint and expectation. Questioner: Can a person attain liberation through penance and rituals (kriya)? Dadashri: Penance and rituals will beget fruits for you but not liberation. If you plant a neem seed, you will get bitter fruits and if you plant a mango seed, you will get sweet fruits. Whatever fruit you want, plant accordingly. The penance for liberation is different altogether; it is internal penance (antar tapa). However, people believe that what they do externally is penance. And such penance, which is visible outside, will not result in liberation. Such visible penance will beget effect that is pleasant and helpful to the mind, speech and body (punya). To 8
