Inner Intent : Action (Gujarati Dadavani May-1998)

In language of Gnanis, word 'inner intent' is very valuable. In worldly life, people often say 'I have inner intent to eat sweets' or 'I have inner intent to do charity' - all these are wishes. Inner Intent is a different thing altogether. What is inner intent? Who does inner intent? Does soul have inner intent? How can one stop inner intent? This edition of Dadavani answers all the above questions. When inner intent is used in ‘Non-Self’ it results in false attribution of the belief 'I am Chandulal' (reader to substitute his/her own name). After attaining Knowledge of Self, one understands 'Who am I and who is the 'Doer'. People in this world often put their efforts in improving their actions and since these actions are not in their control they ultimately end up being hurt. People are completely unaware about the science of inner intent which is actually in their control. By putting spiritual efforts towards changing inner intents one can naturally experience bliss in any situation.
