बुल्ला की जाणा मैं कौण - Sant Sarita 11.10/2026 ना मैं विच पलीती पाकी – I am neither Dharmi (auspicious) nor Adharmi (inauspicious) because, for me, both are objects (concepts). I place them in a category based on my belief. I am the umbrella of falseness. Whatever I categorize as false or true is just false. Anything I touch becomes inauspicious. Dharm is meant to reduce my selfishness; instead, I wear it like armor after distorting its meaning. Auspiciousness, purity, compassion, and love are expressions of true Dharm. But I had associated them with rituals, specific attire, and devotion. To distinguish the true from the false, Acharya Ji calls it Lokdharm. False babas present themselves with these symbols to appear dharmik. This is rampant in India. I had an image of a religious person being a certain way. Basically, someone who didn’t look like me. It felt believable when they wore certain attire and ornaments, something like 12th-century clothes. In the past, I did wear rudraksha, gold chains with a god’s picture, a copper snake ring, khada, red threads, etc. It used to make me feel religious. I shared this comparison photo because the weight loss is evident, but it is a by-product of what I learned in Gita Sessions from Acharyaji. I realize now that if I were truly religious, my search should have ended, but it didn’t until I came across Acharyaji. My relationship with objects and with myself is slowly shifting. For me, this is auspicious. Love (प्रेम) and auspiciousness (पवित्र) are the nearness of that in whose presence I (ego) reduce. Man is a religious animal because he is always trying to escape suffering. Dharm is everything I do to relieve my suffering in the truest sense. In today’s exclusive session, Acharyaji mentioned that bondage disguises itself under glorified names such as love, security, care, identity, comfort, and stability. I am beginning to recognize them.
