Questioner: If a person seeks out friction with the
understanding that friction is for progress, then he will
make progress.
Dadashri: Yet they are not seeking it with this understanding! God does not take you higher, friction takes you higher. Friction can take you up to a certain limit; thereafter it will only be productive if you meet a Gnani. Friction happens naturally. Just as a stone becomes round by getting scraped from here and there in the river.
Questioner: What is the difference between gharshan and sangharshan?
Dadashri: When non-living things collide, it is referred to as gharshan, and when living beings collide, it is called sangharshan.
Questioner: Collision with living beings obstructs the energy of the Self, doesn’t it?
Dadashri: Yes, that is correct. There is no problem if collision with living beings occurs, I am telling you to get rid of the intent that ‘I want to get into conflict.’ ‘You’ [the awakened Self] should not have the intent of colliding with living beings, thereafter if ‘Chandubhai’ [the relative self] collides with living beings, let it be. ‘Your’ intent [to not clash with anyone] should not become stifled.
