A person with dehabhiman has more laziness. And that is physical. So, a person with dehabhiman has more laziness. A person with dehabhiman is the one who protects the body. Dehabhiman is mentioned here. Dehabhimani means that no one can damage their personality at all. They cannot tolerate any scratch on their personality. One's body and one's personality are two different things. One's body and one's personality are different. So, one who has extreme attachment to their own personality is called dehabhimani. A dehabhimani often does this work, and a lazy person would not do it at all, so... Is self-respect dehabhiman? Is self-respect dehabhiman? It depends on the angle from which self-respect is taken. If they take self-respect only for themselves, or self-respect can also be called this, that we belong to Maharaj, then it is not called dehabhiman. The meaning of self-respect in this world is something, huh? Self-respect. Yes, self-respect. So that is a type of dehabhiman. If it is selfish, limited only to one's personality, then it is called dehabhiman. Kansa is said to be a symbol of dehabhiman. Kansa ran and jumped, and where his sister's wedding procession was leaving, he jumped and sat sat 1) True. Real. 2) Permanent, imperishable and unchanging. Is unbound by the past, the present, and the future. Tap to open in glossary → sat sat 1) True. Real. 2) Permanent, imperishable and unchanging. Is unbound by the past, the present, and the future. Tap to open in glossary → Can it be said that Kansa's dehabhiman was gone? Huh? Why didn't it go? Who can do such a low service? Being a prince, he sat sat 1) True. Real. 2) Permanent, imperishable and unchanging. Is unbound by the past, the present, and the future. Tap to open in glossary → Many times he sat sat 1) True. Real. 2) Permanent, imperishable and unchanging. Is unbound by the past, the present, and the future. Tap to open in glossary → man man Mind. One of the four antah-karans, with the function of (pronounced mun) generating thoughts and desires, and governing all of the indriyas. Tap to open in glossary → So that is called dehabhiman. That action-reaction is of dehabhiman. It is not of laziness, not of a lazy person. It cannot be called that of a lazy person. And what came along with this dehabhiman? Pride. Along with dehabhiman, pride and dehabhiman are different. Pride is shown only if someone praises, and if not, if not praised, then not shown. In dehabhiman, if one's image shines more, then one does it. One's own image should shine. Not that God's work should shine. One's own image should shine. Everyone should call me good. So then, even if those who call me good destroy this institution, it doesn't matter. They call me good, right? So that is called my dehabhiman. If I am sitting here, then it is my duty, whose protection should I do first? The institution's protection should be done first, God's work's protection should be done first. That should be done first. Then whether someone calls me good or not, I shouldn't care much about it. But if they call me good, and then do whatever they want. So? You are said to have protected dehabhiman. You are said to have not protected God's work. And what is pride called? That if someone praises me, I get puffed up. And if they don't praise, I wither. That is called pride. So there is a very fine difference. And what should be called laziness? Not doing anything at all. Not doing anything at all. So it is not that a dehabhimani does nothing at all. Even if they do a lot, they can still be dehabhimani. Kansa used to do a lot of things. Still, he is called dehabhimani. They do only what is about themselves, related to themselves. They have no interest in others. Even in God's work, they have no interest. Dehabhiman is very high. If one performs penance, does dehabhiman increase or what happens? Nothing to do, the body becomes thin. My weight becomes 47 kg. Yes. He is polishing his image. So his image means he is polishing his dehabhiman. There is that illustration, right? That there was a cat, the cat sat sat 1) True. Real. 2) Permanent, imperishable and unchanging. Is unbound by the past, the present, and the future. Tap to open in glossary → So when he performs penance, his body decreases. So if the body decreases, shouldn't dehabhiman decrease? Huh? Still, it does not decrease. For him, it does not decrease, dehabhiman does not decrease.
