tiger and a human. The difference is in the vibrations you emit.
It is your vibrations that will affect the tiger. As long as you
believe in your mind that a tiger is a violent animal, the tiger will
remain violent. If you are aware that the tiger is the Soul, then
it will have no violence with you. Everything is possible.
You must understand how effective your bhaav can be in
causing an effect that can be destructive. If a monkey destroys
all the mangoes on your mango tree, then in the moment of
frustration you may say that it would have been better to chop
off the mango tree altogether. Beware of the inner intent behind
what you say. Words spoken in the presence of the Self do not
go to waste. If you are careful not to cause a negative effect,
then everything will be fine. Everything around you is what you
have created. From this moment onwards, stop any vibrations
or thoughts towards others. If a thought arises, wash it off by
doing pratikraman. That way the entire day will pass without
any vibrations. If you can get through the whole day this way,
it is enough. That by itself is a great achievement towards
liberation.
After this Gnan, the newer events of your life will not
become impure. The old phases however, will have to be made
pure by seeing them or dealing with them with equanimity. This
equanimity is the nature of the Vitarag. New phases will not
become impure, they will remain pure. It is the older phases,
which are impure and will need to be purified. Remaining within
my Agnas, and maintaining equanimity will accomplish that.
Questioner: Dada how do the different karmas created
before this Gnan, come to an end?
Dadashri: As long as you are living, you can wash them
away by repenting. But a few will still remain, and those that
remain will become very weak, so in your next life they will fall
away by merely touching them, like a burnt rope.
