[17] Removing the Root Cause of Opinions
321
Dadashri: How does your opinion differ; were you not
fighting with that man?
Questioner: Later, after everything was over, the opinion
was different.
Dadashri: But after how long? Does unawareness
(ajagruti) last for six to eight months? Your awareness should
come within one or two hours! But so much bad karmic stock
has been stored. What I am saying is that too much garbage
(karmic stock) has been piling up. Do you not feel that way?
Questioner: That is correct.
Dadashri: Within how many hours should one become
aware?
Questioner: Within two hours.
Dadashri: Two, four, or even twelve hours, but You
should become aware that, ‘This is wrong.’ But here, even when
‘we’ tell you, You do not realize it. This still occurs in so many
instances, but You are not aware of it. ‘We’ would know right
away that you are doing something wrong. Would ‘we’ not
know this?
Questioner: Yes, You will.
Dadashri: Despite that, ‘we’ allow it to continue. But
‘we’ also know that eventually, everything will work out fine.
There Must Be No Intent of Violence
‘We’ are saying that this worldly life is worth knowing
more and, at the same time, both the opinions remain separate.
Both opinions run concurrently.
We should not have any violent intent (himsak bhaav) at
all. Even if someone were to kill you, you should not feel that
he is wrong for doing that.
