[ 13 ] Liberation from Artadhyan and Raudradhyan
The Meaning of Artadhyan
Questioner : Artadhyan and raudradhyan are constantly occurring . Can you please explain the two clearly ? ( 220 )
Dadashri : Artadhyan involves only you . It occurs when you suffer silently without anyone ’ s knowledge ; you suffer from within , but you do not hurt anyone else . And raudradhyan is when you hurt others .
A person who does not have Self-realization and has the belief , ‘ I am ‘ Chandulal ’ - [ insert your name ]’ will have worries like , ‘ What will become of me or what will occur if such and such happens to me ?’ He will worry about his daughter ’ s marriage even when she is five ! Does he think his daughter is going to get married because of him ? Besides , she will get married when she is 24 or 30 , not at the age of five ! When he worries in this way , that is called artadhyan .
To have negative thoughts about yourself ; or worry whether or not your life will run smoothly ; or if you fall sick , to have worries about dying ; is all artadhyan .
Questioner : What about thinking or worrying about the future ?
Dadashri : It is considered artadhyan . Even that is considered artadhyan in the absence of Self-realization . What will occur tomorrow ? There is a letter from the Internal Revenue Service ( government tax department ). What will the I . R . S . do ?
