Saiyam Prevails With Opinions That Differ From the Prakruti

Saiyam means that no matter what ‘Chandubhai’ (the relative self) is doing, if he is doing something that hurts someone, despite that, Your opinion is completely different. When ‘Chandubhai’ is cursing someone, then Your opinion is completely different that, ‘This should not be so.

Why are you saying such things?’ So when it prevails as if there are two different individuals, that is called saiyam. Do you ever feel within that, ‘What is this? How can it be like this?’ Therefore, that opinion (abhipraya) is totally different. A difference of opinion between the two is saiyam. And when Your and ‘Chandhubhai’s’ opinion becomes one, when ‘he’ (‘Chandubhai’) curses someone, that is asaiyam. Have you ever seen such asaiyam?

Questioner: Yes, but when the two become separate, awareness (khyal) comes.

Dadashri: When they separate, there is a difference in the opinions. Do You remain in saiyam properly now? Good then. We need saiyam; that is all. There is liberation through saiyam. If You do not agree with whatever ‘Chandubhai’ is doing, then Your opinion will be different, won’t it! If ‘Chandubhai’ gets upset with someone, You do not like it, do you? You will not be at ease, will You? That is saiyam.

When Your opinion becomes different from that of the non-Self complex (prakruti), that is called saiyam. Many people who are aware (in worldly interactions) will say, “I do not like this anger that happens, yet I definitely get angry.” “I do not like it, but I have to do it.”

All of that falls under yama, and they do not lose out. Andmany become angry at once; “It will not do without getting angry, I would not be able to function,” they will say.
