(mithya darshan) and give him the right belief (samyak darshan), things will be solved for him, but until then he will not have a solution.
The Atma is pure indeed. Your Atma is pure right now, but for the beliefs that are wrong, which have taken hold within you. And because of that, you believe that happiness (sukh) lies in temporary things. Whatever you see with your eyes, hear with your ears, taste with your tongue, "are all temporary adjustments”, so you believe that there is happiness (sukh) in those temporary things. At present you are under the influence of this wrong belief. When the wrong belief is fractured, you will no longer find happiness (sukh) from temporary things; you will find happiness in the permanent. Permanent happiness is eternal happiness; once it comes, it never leaves. That itself is regarded as attainment of the Atma, and the experience of the Self (swanubhav) state. With the experience of this state of the Self, one gradually moves on to the Absolute state (purnahuti). How Can There Be a Coming and Going for
That Which Is Eternal? Questioner: Where did all these living beings (jiva), these Souls in this world, come from?
Dadashri: No one has come. This entire world itself is a display of the six eternal elements (tattva). All the six elements make up the world which you see. It is just scientific circumstantial evidence! So no one has made this; no one has had to do anything. It has no beginning and it has no end. I am saying it as it is, that the world has no beginning, and no end. Only thing is that from one perspective you see the world, while the other perspective shows you liberation (moksha)! It is all a matter of changing one's perception, that is all!
That which comes, can never be eternal, and the Atma is an eternal thing; therefore, it cannot have a coming and going. The Atma is not like that.
