[5] The Way of Akram Vignan
105
‘This is how it is. So why do you needlessly keep badgering
people?’ You are taking people on the wrong path by telling
them, ‘I do this, I do penance, I renounce. So you should
renounce too. You should do the same. Stop eating potatoes.’
Why are you unnecessarily hounding people? So, things that
needed to be done have been set aside and they make people
do things that ought not to be done. They, themselves, cannot
do the things they are not supposed to! It is all a sheer waste
of time and energy. What needs to be done is something
completely different. What one needs to do is to ask for energy
(shakti). Everything that is occurring right now is because of the
shakti that was previously asked for.
Questioner: Whatever we did in our previous lifetime
has come as an effect in this life, has it not?
(96)
Dadashri: Yes, everything has come into effect. Therefore,
ask for the energy and strength in the form of a cause (the effect
of which will come later). And when you ask for the energy and
strength by reciting the Nine Kalams (nine deep inner intents
asking for energies), those Nine Kalams are the essence of all
the scriptures combined. That is all you have to do. What does
one need to do in this world? One needs to do only this much;
ask for shakti (energy) if he wants to do anything with the sense
of doership.
Questioner: Is it simply a matter of asking for the energy?
Dadashri: Yes, because not everyone goes to moksha,
do they? But if you want to ‘do’ anything, then do just this much:
ask for shakti.
Questioner: This is applicable to only those who have
not attained Gnan, right?
Dadashri: Yes, this is applicable to only them. This is for
the worldly people because at the moment, the path they are on
is completely wrong and they will never succeed in their
endeavors.
