How can I get rid of the intellect?

Questioner: I do want to get rid of the intellect, because it is causing me a lot of suffering.

Dadashri: If you want to get rid of the intellect, well it will not go away just like that. The intellect will only go away once you get rid of its causes, then this effect will go away. The intellect is an effect. What are its causes? Regardless of what happens in reality, if that is considered as justice, then it will go away. What does the world say? You have to accept whatever has happened in reality. And in continuing to seek justice, the conflicts keep persisting.

Questioner: You said, “The intellect is an eff ect and if its causes are found, then that eff ect can cease.”

Dadashri: So, in its causes, when you go to seek justice, that is its cause. If you stop seeking justice, the intellect will go away. Why do you seek justice?

Now, what would the daughter-in-law say? “Hey, you do not know my mother-in-law. Since I came in this home, she has been hurting me. Now, what is my fault in this?” Would anyone hurt you without having a previous acquaintance? It must be pending in your karmic account, that is why she is giving it back to you. To that, she would say, “But, I have never even seen her face before.” The answer is, “Yes, you may not have seen her in this life, however, what does your karmic account of the past life say?” Therefore, whatever has happened is itself justice.

At home, when your son bosses over you, then that bossism is itself justice. In fact, it is the intellect that shows you, ‘He is a son, how can he boss around his father?’ However, whatever has happened is itself justice!

So, what does this Akram Vignan (the step-less Science of Self-realization) say? Look, this is justice! Now, people ask ‘us’, “How did you get rid of the intellect?” I did not seek justice, so the intellect went away. How long would the intellect remain in power? As long as you seek justice, and you give support to that justice, till then the intellect will remain in power.

At that point, the intellect will say, ‘He is on our side.’ It will say, ‘I performed my duty so well, then on what grounds are these directors criticizing me?’ Hey, are you supporting it? Are you seeking justice? Whatever they are saying is indeed correct. Why were they not saying anything until now? On what basis were they not say anything? And right now, on what grounds of justice are they saying this? Upon thinking about this, do you not feel that what they are saying is justifi ed? Hey, if your boss does not give you a pay raise, then that itself is justice. How can you consider that as injustice?
