June 1998 This Makes One Attain the State Of June 1998 This Makes One Attain the State of Vitaragata EDITORIAL The one who remains in a state of vitarag (absolute, as the Knower only) is able to make others recognize the state of vitaragata (total absence of attachment and abhorrence). Where in the world can true vitaragata be seen? If there is dehadhyas (belief that ‘I am the body), there is attachment-abhorrence, kashay (anger-pride-deceit-greed), then conduct full of attachment- abhorrence is only seen. Otherwise, if an example of vitaragata is present, then others like it will indeed follow! Vitaragata cannot be accomplished through efforts. It is when you see and identify such vitarag people that it begins to arise within you. In worldly life only greed-money-sexuality-illusory attachment-pride-prestige are to be seen. The societal influence has become so strong that one makes an effort only to move towards these things. Vitaragata cannot be acquired by running away from all of this into the jungle or deep into Himalayas. Vitaragata is an internal state, which remains in spite of being in worldly interaction. When One attains the Gnan (Knowledge of the Self), dweshbhaav (view of abhorrence) comes to an end becomes vitadwesh (free from abhorrence). No matter how much anybody insults or harms him, the intent of taking revenge within him has completely dissolved. And further, as one keeps settling every favorable or unfavorable circumstance or person with equanimity, the stage of vitaragata begins accordingly. Ultimately one enters the state of absolute vitaragata. In the present compilation of Gnani Purush Dadashri’s speech, different incidents of worldly interaction, detailing of the characteristics (lakshan) of vitaragi Purush (One who is absolutely enlightened) are described. How can his vitaragata be identified? It has been described in words as far as possible. He may be in a palace or in a jail or in a hotel, yet a vitaragi does not have attachment or abhorrence anywhere. Usually the outside worldly interaction of an aGnani (one without Self-realization) or Gnani appear to be the same, but in an aGnani attachment- abhorrence keeps happening within, whereas in a Gnani vitaragata prevails within. One’s final goal is to attain complete vitaragata, and in that, this present compilation will bestow the understanding in order to obtain vitaragata! ~ Jai Sat Chit Anand Deepak Desai In What State is There Moksha? Questioner: In what state does one attain moksha? Dadashri: In the vitarag state. Questioner: At what spiritual level can one attain moksha? Dadashri: Moksha is attained through the vitarag dharma (religion). You attain moksha at the level of the vitarag. Vitaragata (absolute absence of attachment or abhorrence) is the only way to become free from worldly life. The Signs of Attaining Completeness Questioner: How can someone who studies spirituality, know that he has reached the absolute state? Dadashri: Such a person’s speech will be vitarag (detached and without attachment or abhorrence), his talk will be vitarag, and conduct will be vitarag. Everything about him is vitarag. He has no attachment for, nor abhorrence towards anything; whether you insult him or shower him with flowers. His speech is syadvaad, which means that it does not hurt anyone’s religion or anyone’s viewpoint at all. What is the attribute of the state of the Self? Vitaragata (absence of attachment or abhorrence)! Even for one minute if someone becomes completely impartial, he can become Bhagwan (a God)! The quality of impartiality is really vitaragata (absence of attachment or abhorrence). The one who has become vitarag (absolute Self) will not show any ownership. One cannot know (experience) vitarag as long as there is insistence for any truth. Adjust to Adversities Gnani will adjust with the other person even if he is obstinate. If one observes a Gnani Purush and goes about doing things, he will be able to make all kinds of adjustments. What the science behind this says is that become vitarag, (free from attachment and abhorrence); do not do raag (attachment) or dwesh (abhorrence). There is some tendency to be attracted (aasakti) left within, that’s the reason one gets beatings. In this worldly interaction (vyavahar) the one has become one sided, without any inclination (nispruhi) then he is considered obstinate (vaanko). If you have a necessity, then even when the other person is obstinate you will have to please him. If you need a porter and he haggles, then give him four anaas (Indian coin currency) more or less and persuade him, and if you don’t persuade him then this bag will be dumped on your head, won’t it? Dadashri: If you feel, ‘Why is he acting this way?’ towards the one creating a problem for you, or even if you try to find a solution along such paths; you will not gain anything. You have to move forward believing that ‘people will create problems’. Not only do we have to move forward believing that people will create problems, but we have to maintain equanimity (vitarag) towards them. People will create problems, you have to overcome the problems and (also) you have to remain vitarag; and thus move towards moksha. Nevertheless, the path of moksha that ‘we’ have given is a very easy one! No Opposition Even Towards Opponents Vitarag view (bhaav) is to become united after resolving differences with each other in the family; and to separate in divisiveness is attachment-abhorrence. If you oppose a person who is against you then that person will sit firmly in the side that is in opposition to you, and will become even stronger in that. Bhagwan. The Lord became free by vitaragata (being without attachment and abhorrence) only. Even After Being Cheated the Vitarag did not Lose Moksha ‘Maani ne maan aapi, lobhiyathi chhetaray, ‘Giving respect to the one seeking recognition, allowing the greedy one to cheat Him, Sarva no aham poshi, Vitarag chaali jay.’ The Vitarag walks away, having satisfied everyone’s ego.’ The Vitarag moves on having nourished the ego (of the other). That poor man’s ego is fed and you become free, don’t you? And if not, is money going to accompany you all the way to moksha? So, why not let them cheat you and let them take some of it from you? Otherwise someone would come along to claim the inheritance. And he has come to cheat you, so how can you say no to him? Nourish everyone’s ego and move on. If their ego is not supported, then these people will not let you move forward! They will say, “This is pending of ours, this is pending of ours,” and will obstruct you. Will anyone let you move on? Oh, even your father and mother will not let you move on! They will say, “You haven’t done anything for me.” Hey, are you searching for such a return of a favor? It is okay if a favor were returned naturally with ease, otherwise would parents have to seek restitution (from their children)? Those who seek a return of a favor (from their children) are not considered to be parents, they are considered as tenants! There are very few people who will knowingly get cheated, are there not? Illusory Attachment Makes one Forget the Beatings You got married, tasted the fruits of marriage now you must remain ‘vitarag’. Having tasted the mango and finding them sour, do you sit all the time under the tree (hoping) that mangoes will be sweet next year? No, it will always be sour for sure. Similarly, this worldly life is indeed sour, but due to moha (illusion that attaches) one forgets that. After getting beatings the moha comes on again. This indeed is the maze. If the ignorance of the Self goes away, and one attains the knowledge of the Self (swaroop Gnan), this maze will not bother him. ‘Gnani Purush’ gives the knowledge of the Self. Once Gnani Purush gives the Gnan, one becomes free (liberated) from the maze and attains the seal (confirmation) of moksha! Despite all Worldly Interaction, Vitaragata Prevails Kramic, the traditional path of liberation, means that first you have to purify your worldly interactions and then you become the pure Self. In the Akram path you become the pure Self first and then purify the worldly interactions (vyavahar). In pure worldly interaction (shuddha vyavahar), there may be interaction of every kind, but there is vitaragata (absence of attachment or abhorrence) in it. Pure worldly interaction begins one or two life times prior to one’s final liberation. Nischay (the state of the Self), is that which is unaffected by worldly interactions. Complete the worldly interaction to the point where it does not affect nischay (the Self); regardless of what kind of interaction may be there. Understand the View and Conform Worldly interaction should be ideal. If one becomes sticky (unyielding) in worldly interaction (vyavahar), he will become kashayi (move with anger-pride-deceit-greed). This worldly life is like a boat. In this boat, you eat and drink and do everything but know that in this boat you will be going to the shore. Therefore understand this view. You only have to understand what the Gnani Purush says. You do not have to do anything at all. Having understood, the one who conforms becomes a vitarag. Ultimately go Beyond Those Qualities These good qualities-bad qualities, good habits-bad habits are destructible and temporary but the world needs them. There is no need for them for one who wants to become vitarag completely! Where there is no other talk except of the Self (the Self) and the Parmatma (absolute Self), there lies the true bliss (anand).

Difference, Based on Veils of Ignorance! Questioner: Does the body exist on the basis of the Self (Atma) or does the Self (Atma) exist on the basis of the body? Dadashri: If the Self (Atma) is there, then the body „stands‟ (lives). Questioner: The Atma of an agnani (one without Self-realization), the Atma of a Gnani (One with Self-realization) and the Atma of One who has attained moksha (final liberation); what is the difference in the energies of these three? What can the Siddhas (absolutely liberated Ones) do? The omniscient One (Sarvagnya) can do whatever He wishes. Dadashri: The Atma of the agnani appears to be in bondage (bandhan), whereas the Atma of the Gnani is in freedom-bondage (abandha-bandha). From certain perspectives, it appears to be bound, and from other perspectives, it appears to be unbound. Whereas the absolutely liberated Ones (Siddha Bhagwanto) always remain free (abandha), they remain in moksha only. The absolutely liberated Ones are no longer in a position to „do‟ anything. Only One (Gnani Purush) with a body (dehadhari) can do whatever He wishes. The energy of the absolutely liberated Ones is completely developed, but it is of no use to anyone. Questioner: By its swabhaav (inherent nature), by its gunadharma (intrinsic properties that have a specific function), (the Self) is indeed the same; then on what basis is there a difference in the energies? Dadashri: That difference is on the basis of avaran (veil of ignorance).

  • “Following One's Desire” ( Kāmacāra ): on a Characterisation of Freedom
    ASIA 2014; 68(3): 757 – 782 Angelika Malinar “Following one’s desire” (kāmacāra ): On a Characterisation of Freedom in Vedic Literature and the Mahābhārata Abstract: The compound kāmacāra is in Vedic literature connected to ideas of freedom which are different from the well-known ones often associated with im- movability and changelessness as the characteristic features of the “self” (ātman) or the “absolute” (brahman), and of “liberation” (mokṣa, mukti) as a state beyond pleasure and desire. It rather refers to a semantic register of freedom which is used in order to describe states of independence and liberty obtained in the after-life in which immortality is defined not as freedom “from”, but as freedom “to”. Correspondingly, kāmacāra is used in connection with notions of autonomy expressed by the words svatantra or svatantratā (independence) and svarāj (self-rule), and not with the semantics of mukti and mokṣa, the terms frequently used for the freedom that accrues through “liberation” or “release” from worldly existence. New ascetic teachings on the extinction of all desire as well as new in- terpretations of ritual action and individual agency (karman) did not result in completely removing the idea of a state of “following one’s desire” from the spec- trum of salvific ideas, but rather in its being reinterpreted vis-à-vis “higher” goals. While the speculations about the freedom to be obtained in future existences are in some Vedic texts intrinsically connected with notions of the “self” (ātman) and the realm of brahman, they become in the Mahābhārata features of particular re- gions and agents.

  • Glossary to the Record of Yoga
    Glossary to the Record of Yoga Introductory Note Status. Work on this glossary is in progress. Some definitions are provisional and will be revised before the glossary is published. Scope. Most words from languages other than English (primarily San- skrit), and some English words used in special senses in the Record of Yoga, are included. Transliteration. Words in italics are Sanskrit unless otherwise indi- cated. Sanskrit words are spelled according to the standard interna- tional system of transliteration. This has been adopted because the same Sanskrit word is often spelled in more than one way in the text. The spellings that occur in the text, if they differ from the transliter- ation (ignoring any diacritical marks over and under the letters), are mentioned in parentheses. The sounds represented by c, r.,ands´ or s. in the standard transliteration are commonly represented by “ch”, “ri”, and “sh” in the anglicised spellings normally used in the Record of Yoga. Order. All entries, regardless of language, are arranged in English al- phabetical order. Words and phrases are alphabetised letter by letter, disregarding diacritics, spaces and hyphens. Compounds and phrases. A compound or phrase composed of words that do not occur separately in the text is normally listed as a unit and the words are not defined individually. Compound expressions consisting of words that also occur by themselves, and thus are defined separately, are listed in the glossary only if they occur frequently or have a special significance. Definitions. The definition of each term is intended only as an aid to understanding its occurrences in the Record of Yoga.
