First we have to learn the art of worldly interaction. People suffer because they do not understand this.
Questioner : In spiritual matters nothing excels your science. However, even these lessons of worldly interaction are practical and most useful.
Dadashri : Without understanding the art of worldly interaction, liberation is not possible for anyone. No amount of knowledge of the Soul alone will help because the world has to let you go. If the world does not free you, what can you do? You are a Pure Soul but only if the world leaves you alone. You are being entangled with the world. Why not free yourself as quickly as possible?
You send someone to buy ice cream, he returns empty-handed. When asked why, he tells you that half way to the store, he saw a donkey. He believed this to be a bad omen so he returned. Such wrong beliefs and superstitions have to be removed. He needs to know that God resides within that donkey too. His notion and belief of bad luck is foolish. His repulsion for the donkey reaches the God inside the donkey. He is committing a sin. In this way you can convince him not to let it happen again. This is how ignorance thrives. This is how people misadjust.
