Who rubs more? With the Sadhu or with God? Huh? The Sadhu rubs on purpose. He has all the traits, so he has a habit of rubbing a little. And God does not have free time, otherwise God is also like that, who rubs. God has many conflicts, but He needs free time to rub. So, if one develops abhinnivesh in the Sadhu, it means one has developed it in God. Because they do it by rubbing, and He does it without rubbing. God is straightforward, and they rub; when you go near them, they rub. So, what do they rub? They rub our nature. Otherwise, they do not rub. They do not brush our back. But they brush our nature a little, and that causes some screaming. If they rub on the back, one does not scream so much, but if someone brushes our nature, even if they just place a soft hand, it causes a lot of reaction. So, it becomes difficult. Yes, whether there is abhinnivesh in the Sadhu or not, such an event happens rarely, a very big event. But right now, if we want to know how much we have, If water comes into our hands. If it comes into our hands, we can find out. Someone will say, "Stay away." No one will come into our hands. Thus, the talk goes further. Did King Ambarish develop abhinnivesh or did Sarvanivasanand Swami develop abhinnivesh because they kept tolerating, or was there some other reason? Whatever happened in the Sadhu. What does he say? Did King Ambarish and Sarvanivasanand Swami develop abhinnivesh while tolerating, or was there some other reason? It is not necessary to tolerate everywhere. Perhaps, some do not have to tolerate. If we get some conflicting person like Durvasa, then we have to tolerate, but if we straighten them out first, then where is the question of tolerating? Durvasa would not even come to us. We would straighten them out from the door itself, then what can other poor people do with us? So, it is not that one has to tolerate everywhere. In this talk, it goes further that even if our transactions are worth millions and they are ruined to dust, yet if one remains pleased, then know that he has developed abhinnivesh. But it is not necessary that all people will ruin our transactions to dust. But for that, though they ruin it, if one is ready to dedicate that much, when one is ready to dedicate everything, then he is said to have developed abhinnivesh. It is not necessary that they will ruin it. If they do not ruin it, then he uses it for them, but when he is ready to surrender everything like that, then he is said to have developed abhinnivesh, and that is called abhinnivesh. One becomes ready to surrender everything for God, but if there is an ekantik devotee of God, and if he says so, and one does not surrender, cannot surrender, then he is not said to have developed abhinnivesh in the Sadhu. Maharaj has said, "Become a Sadhu immediately," and he becomes one immediately. That is called abhinnivesh. Otherwise, it is not called abhinnivesh. So, some readiness to do for him. Readiness to lose for him. What does it mean to ruin transactions of millions to dust? That we have some readiness to lose for him. If we have readiness to sacrifice something for him, then that is called abhinnivesh, and if there is nothing like that, then it is not called abhinnivesh. It is called ordinary love. Just saying "Ram Ram" and praising. When they come, say "Ram Ram" and praise. Swami, are atmabuddhi and abhinnivesh the same, or is there a difference between the two? Mostly, they are considered the same. Maharaj described the action and reaction of atmabuddhi as the same, and the action and reaction of abhinnivesh as the same. The result of both is the same, so both are considered the same. The words are different. Abhinnivesh is something that has entered deep into the jiva. The intense drive that has arisen in the jiva is called abhinnivesh, and atmabuddhi is mostly used in relation to God and the Sadhu. The word abhinnivesh is also used in the worldly sense. Someone might have developed abhinnivesh of pride, someone of greed, someone of ego. We often talk, as Tyag Swami used to say, about a devotee of Mataji who built a temple worth about 60-70 million, and in it, he kept the place of the living Mataji first. So, that is called his abhinnivesh. Why is it called abhinnivesh? Because he makes so much sacrifice for her, for her name. They do not care about public opinion or propriety. They do not even consider whether it is reasonable or how reasonable it is, and they are after it. So, he is said to have developed abhinnivesh in it. If one is ready to do that much, then it is called abhinnivesh. Yes Swami, it was mentioned earlier that if one talks without practicing, so if we are talking to someone and we feel that our behavior is not that proper, then what attitude should we keep while talking? While talking, one can keep the attitude that "I am not perfect yet, but this is a seeker, and if he gets some guidance and it benefits him, then Maharaj will be pleased with me." We are not talking to him to please Maharaj by showing our influence. But if he understands something and walks on the path of God, then Maharaj will be pleased with us. If we do it with such an attitude, then even if we are imperfect, it is not considered a problem. Our intention should be good. That we do it with a good intention, that if we turn even one jiva towards the path of God, then one gets the merit of saving the universe. This is a divine soul, even though I am not perfect, but if we show him the path with honesty, and if he walks on that path and recognizes Maharaj, then Maharaj will be pleased with us, and our imperfection will be resolved quickly. If we do it with such an attitude, then it is considered proper, and if we keep ego or selfishness, then it is not considered proper. "And the kind of abhinnivesh one has towards the body, the five sensory objects, and God, one does not have towards the Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → That means he is the one who inspires abhinnivesh in God. He does not inspire it in those other two, that must be kept in mind.
