If all the energies of the Self were to ever get destroyed,
then it is through friction. If one collides even
slightly due to friction, then he is done for! If the other
person collides, then you should remain under restraint.
Collision should not happen at all. Then if this body is to
die, it will die [no matter how difficult a circumstance]; but
you should not get into a collision. If only there were no
collisions, then a person would attain liberation. If someone
learns that, ‘I do not want to get into a collision at all,’
then he will not need a guru or anyone else in between.
In one or two lifetimes, he would go directly to liberation.
If it gets set in his conviction and he makes the decision
that, ‘I do not want to get into collision at all,’ then samkit
(the right belief of ‘I am pure Soul’) will set in from that
very moment! So if anyone ever wants to attain the right
belief of ‘I am pure Soul’, then I give the guarantee, ‘Go,
make the decision to not collide. This right belief will set
in from that very moment!’ If there has been a physical
collision and an injury has been sustained, then if you treat
it, it will be healed. But who will remove the stains that
form in the mind or the intellect due to friction and clash?
They will not leave even after thousands of lifetimes.
Questioner: Are wounds inflicted on the mind and intellect due to friction and clash?
Dadashri: Oh! Not only on the mind and the intellect, wounds keep getting inflicted on the entire antahkaran (mind-intellect-chit-ego complex), and the effect of that falls on the body too. So, there are so many difficulties due to clashes!
Questioner: You are saying that all the energies get destroyed through friction. Then can the energy be pulled back through awareness?
Dadashri: There is no need to pull back the energies. The energies are indeed there. Now the energy is arising. The friction that arose in the past and the loss that was incurred; that [energy] is indeed coming back. But if you now create new friction, then the energy will leave again. The energy that arose will also leave, and if you do not allow friction to take place at all, then energy will keep arising!
In this world, friction happens due to enmity. The root cause of worldly life is enmity. The one for whom enmity and friction have stopped, that person has attained liberation! Love is not a hindrance; if enmity leaves, then love arises.
