conflict about bumping into a pole, thereafter of subtle
(sookshma), subtler (sookshmatar) and the subtlest
(sookshmatam) forms of conflict. What is a subtle (sookshma)
conflict?
Dadashri: The conflict that you have with your father is
subtle conflict.
Questioner: Like what?
Dadashri: Do you hit each other?
Questioner: No.
Dadashri: That is subtle conflict.
Questioner: Does subtle mean through the mind? Do
verbal conflicts also come under subtle?
Dadashri: No, verbal conflict falls under gross conflict.
Those the other person is not aware of, those the other person
cannot see, are subtle conflict.
Questioner: How can we avoid such subtle conflict?
Dadashri: First, you should tackle the gross conflict, then
the subtle, then the subtler and finally the subtlest conflict.
Questioner: What is an example of a subtler
(sookshmatar) conflict?
Dadashri: Sookshmatar conflict applies only to those
who are Self-realized. If you slap somebody and this other person
here remains in his awareness as being the pure Soul, and is
aware that the slap is being given by vyavasthit, he sees all that.
But despite this, if he happens to see even a slightest mistake in
you, then that would be considered subtler conflict.

Questioner: Please explain that to me again. I did not
understand it completely.
