that time, he realized that there was great benefit in that for him.
Tremendous energy arises within. All weaknesses go away. (416)
Confess Only to an Apta Purush
Questioner: There are people who come to you to do
alochana of their past mistakes. Do you help them become
free?
Dadashri: When one does alochana to Me, it means he
becomes ‘one’ with Me (abheda). I have to free him. There is
no other place to do alochana. If he goes to tell his wife, his
wife will get angry with him and she will take advantage of him;
if he goes to his friend, the friend will take advantage of him; if
he goes to tell himself, the self will take advantage of him. So he
tells no one and consequently he cannot get rid of his load.
That is why ‘we’ have kept the system of direct alochana.
Questioner: Can we ask for forgiveness in the live
presence of a Gnani Purush for all the mistakes done in this life?
Dadashri: Yes. Those mistakes then become insipid and
weak if he can do so in front of the Gnani Purush; it is best if
he does it in person, saying it out verbally. If he cannot say it in
person, then the next best thing is to write it on paper and give
it to the Gnani. The third standard is to do it in the mind. So sit
in whichever standard you want to sit in. It is your choice whether
you want to sit in the first or the second standard.
Questioner: So is it possible?
Dadashri: Yes, it is the greatest possibility. Of all the
questions here, this is the biggest question.
When one comes and confesses in person in the presence
of others, that is ‘orchestra class’; then if you say that you will
tell me in privacy, that is first class; and not telling me in person
but confessing it on paper is second class. And if you tell me that
you will not do it even on paper, but you will do it in your mind
