Aptavani-8
Dadashri: No one has created this, the eternal (avinashi) would not create this. Do you understand? This illusion (bhranti) has come about because of scientific causes. Moreover, no one creates illusion (bhranti).
Questioner: If there is both the temporary and the permanent in a person, then would his behavior (vartan) not come only from the permanent? Is it not because only the domination of the permanent prevails?
Dadashri: There is no domination at all by the permanent (avinashi). Even behavior (vartan) does not belong to the eternal (avinashi). The entire domination is of the temporary (vinashi). That is why 'we' separate the temporary (vinashi) and the permanent (avinashi) into two separate parts for you.
When 'we' destroy all the demerit karma (paap), the two parts come apart and then they are separated. The Atma (Self) thereafter, remains the Knower-Seer (Gnata-Drashta). Therefore, the permanent (avinashi) comes into its original (muda) nature, and that which is temporary (vinashi), remains as actions and deeds (kriya). To know; is not in the nature of the temporary (vinashi). It is not its nature to have feelings or anything like that. Therefore, anything that is temporary (vinashi), remains in the activities (kriya), and the permanent (avinashi) remains the Knower-Seer (Gnata-Drashta); they both retain their own natures (swabhav). What does one do in illusion (bhranti)? 'I know and I am doing', and that is why all these weaknesses of anger-pride-deceit-greed (krodh-maan-mayalobh) have arisen. The Absolute Soul Sends Light and Eternal Bliss
Questioner: So what function does the permanent (avinashi) perform, while staying with the temporary (vinashi)?
Dadashri: It just gives the light (prakash), nothing else. It possesses infinite light; it gives light. And it also gives bliss
