The Absence of Violent Intent is Saiyam
Even if someone provokes you in the train, you will still settle with equanimity. ‘Chandubhai’ may occasionally talk back to the other person, but what do you do?
You only settle with equanimity. You are separate, ‘Chandubhai’ is separate. For the most part, ‘Chandubhai’ does not talk back, and if he does talk back on occasion, then there is no violent intent behind it. Therefore, You are in saiyam.
If we look at the face of one with saiyam, then demerit karma get washed off. Our mahatmas are saiyami, I have not said no to that. This is because when krodha (anger with violent intent) arises in these people, repentance happens within at that moment. In reality, that is not krodha. Repentance happens, therefore it is not krodha.
Gusso (anger without violent intent) arises, then repentance happens within.
Questioner: Does repentance not happen for people out there (non-mahatmas)?
Dadashri: That repentance is of a different kind, but that anger is with violent intent. It is such anger that the person himself burns, and burns the other person, while here, there is no intent of violence in it.
