And if you say, ‘This is happening to me,’ then the load will feel heavier. Questioner: The anxiety he experiences because of pain, is it with artadhyan or raudradhyan? Dadashri: It is with artadhyan. It is not a question of dhyan. If one is in Gnan, then it is the non-Self that suffers the pain. You have to know who is suffering the pain and maintain awareness of who You are. Then You have to tell ‘Chandubhai’, ‘Chandubhai, you go ahead and suffer it. Only you have to suffer it. You have to suffer the effect of your own causes.’ If You can remain separate in all that, You will benefit from the separation. Otherwise, if you say, ‘I am suffering a lot,’ then you will suffer it many fold over. Questioner: Everything you have said applies to the mahatmas. But the rest of the people who are suffering, do they suffer with artadhyan? Dadashri: There is only artadhyan there; the result is pain and suffering. Such result of suffering as the self is artadhyan. Questioner: Then he continues to get irritated with others. That is raudradhyan, is it not? Dadashri: Then there is raudradhyan. In this flawless (nirdosh) world, no one should appear to be a doshit (one at fault). The world is completely nirdosh. Therefore, whatever you see is due to the mistake in your own vision. Questioner: Is vedaniya karma (karma that brings physical suffering) bound by atichar (transgression of code of conduct; doing something in excess) or atikraman? Dadashri: It is bound by atikraman.
