Aptavani-4

lobhak (which makes one do greed), a nindak (which makes one do malicious gossip), a chetak (which makes one become cautious), and many such ‘k's inside. “K' means karavnaar (that which makes you do things). There is an entire universe within!
Questioner: So does the bhaavako give rise to such bhaav that make the atma murchhit (deluded)?
Dadashri: No, it is not like that. The bhaavako gives rise to such a state within, that the atma (self) becomes immediately deluded (murchhit). Murchhit means that one completely loses one's own awareness. Wouldn't everyone be made unconscious if there were a gas explosion? That is how the bhaavako makes the atma (self) do the bhaav, which causes the effect. Who is not affected? The one who has the awareness of the Self, is not affected. If not, this 'worldly knowledge' does not guard the self from its effect. There is so much pressure from the circumstances that it does not allow it to stay free from effects. When one knows, 'I am Shuddhatma,' the bhaavako will not exert its influence. The common understanding is that the Self does the bhaav and that is why time, bhaav and karma are bound. But if the Self were to do bhaav, we would be done for, it would be the end. That would mean that the Self is beggarly and needy.
The bhaavako makes one do the bhaav, and it is bhaavako that makes the self (atma) bhaavya (one with the bhaav).
Questioner: Is this bhaavako in the form of subatomic particle (parmanu) or in the form of a solid knot (gaanth)?
Dadashri: They are parmanu. They are in the form of pudgal parmanu.
Questioner: Does it mean that the self becomes absorbed in (tanmayakar, one with) with whatever it likes?
