Dada Bhagwan, Niruben Amin, Editor
In this part of Aptavani 14, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan reveals the properties of the Self and identifies the problems because of which we are unable to realize the Self. Answers to questions about what the six eternal elements are in the universe, the cause behind the rise of vishesh bhav (“I”) and egoism are all found here. The Soul remains in its original form but a separate identity (“I”) gets evolved due to pressure of scientific circumstantial evidences and ignorance of the Self. “I” is the first level of separate identity and “ego” is the second level. Wrong beliefs such as “I am Chandu (reader should use his own name)”, “I am the doer” arise and consequently anger, pride, lust and greed develops out of such wrong beliefs. “I am Chandu” this belief is the cause of all sorrow. Once this belief goes away there is no sorrow.
