Atma Ramanta Through Bhaav Saiyam
Questioner: How can Atma ramanta (to remain as the Self) be done?
Dadashri: If one comes into bhaav saiyam. If one comes into bhaav saiyam, then he is indeed in Atma ramanta! Chandubhai, are you able to forget the Self (after taking Gnan)? For how long do you forget?
Questioner: After some time passes, it is immediately remembered.
Dadashri: It is remembered, isn’t it? It comes on its own; to not have to remember is bhaav saiyam, and to have to remember it is dravya saiyam. Did you understand? Krupadudev (Shrimad Rajchandra) has said, “One must go to the shelter of the One who grants liberation (mokshadata), the shelter must be accepted, then freedom (mukti) will happen within one hour.”
This is because the Lord’s shelter is to be accepted, that is all! There is nothing else. This step-less (Akram) path of liberation is indeed the path of the absolutely detached Lords (Vitarago). Aside from the path of the absolutely detached Lords, freedom does not exist in any other place, complete liberation does not exist; ultimate freedom does not exist.
Without coming into bhaav saiyam, no one has become free. This dravya saiyam is intoxicating; on the contrary, intoxication (kef) increases (through it). There is currently no one who upholds the five major vows (panch mahavrat). From where would one get the five major vows? The five major vows are of bhaav saiyam. The minor vows (anuvrat) and the major vows are of bhaav saiyam. The minor vows and major vows do not exist in dravya saiyam, but it continues on in the world. All of this is worldly (laukik).
