mahatma

The One With Internal Saiyam is a Mahatma

Questioner: Who can be referred to as a mahatma?

Dadashri: When there is saiyam within, when internal saiyam remains, (such a person) is referred to as a mahatma. There may or not be external saiyam. As long as one does kashaya (anger-pride-deceit-greed), one cannot be referred to as a mahatma. The one who has internal saiyam is a mahatma. Internal saiyam is that which, when ‘Chandubhai’ (the relative self) gets angry, the one (potey; the awakened Self) within says no to it. ‘Oh! Why is this happening, why is this happening’; that is how it remains within.
That is referred to as internal saiyam, such a person is called a mahatma.

Questioner: What are the interactions of a mahatma like?

Dadashri: To allow all this stock that has been filled in the past life to leave with equanimity (samatapurvak).
