Does Humanitarian Leads to Liberation?
Questioner: How is the path to liberation superior than the path of community service? Please explain that a little.
Dadashri: If you were to ask a social worker, “Who are you?” He would say, “I am a social worker.” What would he say? That is precisely what he would say, isn’t it? Or would he say something else?
Questioner: That is exactly what he would say.
Dadashri: So to say, “I am social worker,” that is egoism, whereas if I were to ask this man here, “Who are you?” Then he would say, “For recognition in the world, I am Chandubhai, and really speaking I am a pure Soul.” Then that is without egoism.
The ego of a social worker is for a good cause, but it is an ego nonetheless. If one’s ego were to be used for a bad cause, then he would be considered a demon! And if the ego were to be used for a good cause, then he would be considered a celestial being. The ego is still an ego. The ego means that one has to wander life after life and the moment the ego comes to an end, liberation can be experienced right here.
To Know ‘Who am I’ Is Dharma
Questioner: What should every human being do? What should be his dharma (function)?
Dadashri: Whatever he is doing is precisely his dharma. But it is just that one says, “My dharma (religion).” In that [whatever he is doing], one has the egoism of, ‘I did this’. So now what a person should do is, come to know [realize], ‘Who am I?’ One should make eff orts towards that, and then all the puzzles will be solved. Thereafter, puzzles no longer arise, and when puzzles no longer arise one starts to become independent.
