of raag)? That is how you stop raag.
That is because after attaining Gnan, both attachment and
abhorrence are in the form of discharge. Abhorrence will hurt
the other person; it will have an effect on him. Therefore, you
should do pratikraman and it will wash it off. Whereas raag is
not going to do anything to the other person and, because it is
a discharge, it will go away on its own. And, therefore, it is going
to go away, whether you do pratikraman or not. Hence, nothing
will happen even if you do not do pratikraman for raag.
As in your business, if someone owes you one million
rupees and you owe some other person half a million rupees, the
one whom you owe money will come to collect his money.
Now, if he comes to collect at two o’clock in the morning, you
have to pay him off because you want to go to moksha. And
if you do not get your money owed to you from the other
person, you can make a compromise or write it off. That is how
it is with raag and dwesh.
Questioner: Does that mean that there is no problem
with raag, and that dwesh is the problem? Does raag prevent
spiritual progress towards full enlightenment?
Dadashri: Whatever raag is in your karmic stock is
bound to arise and it is not going to increase, because it is a
discharge. It does not hinder us. It is a karmic stock which is
bound to come out, is it not? You are not doing any raag, it is
just the karmic stock; it occurs. The only thing is that you speak
sweetly with the ones you have raag for. That is all. It is all a
discharge. You were supposed to obstruct it but now it has
become a discharge.
So now, you should remain in the Agnas of the Gnani
Purush, should you not? If you remain in the Agnas, then you are
constantly the Self. No matter what you are doing, whether you
are working or anything else, if you remain in the Agnas, then
you are constantly the Self.
