(36) Bhaav, Bhaavya and Bhaavak Only the Bhaavak Is the Doer of Bhaav
Questioner: Who is the ‘doer' of inner intent (bhaav)? Is it the Self?
Dadashri: The 'bhaavako’ within, is the one which makes you do the bhaav. The Self does not do bhaav. People believe that it is the bhaavkarma (causal karma) that takes possession of them. But in fact, those that make you do inner intent (bhaav), are sitting within you. The Self never does bhaav.
Questioner: Who is this bhaavako?
Dadashri: It is not the only bhaavak. There is the krodhak, which makes you do krodh (anger). There is the lobhak that makes you do lobh (greed). There is the nindak, which even though you may not want to, will make you do ninda (gossip). The Self does not participate in any of this. Now if the Self were to do the bhaav, what state would it be in? It would be finished. There are others too that make you do bhaav. They are called bhaavak. The bhaavako make you do bhaav. At that moment in time, the ‘self' becomes bhaavya (tainted with bhaav). 'It' likes that. Because one does not have awareness of the Self, this effect comes about. If You Enter into Bhaav, Then You Become
Bhaavya
‘Mahila bhaavak bhaavya bhadey to,
