Gnani Purush Dadashri says, “If you want happiness open the business of happiness and you should be honest and have an obliging nature. In addition, render the service to others without kashayas: anger-pride-deceit-greed, and without any expectation.” And you don’t have to stop right there. By practicing relative religion (service to the world), one has to come in real religion (service to the Self). One must not miss the goal of attaining the Self. After attaining Atmag...

In Akram Vignan, when one attains Gnan—Self-knowledge, the charge ego ends instantly and discharge ego remains. That ego does not get charged if one takes the side of the discharge ego or Agna is followed to a variable extent. However, if one stops following the Agnas, then his ego will become live and his state then is not much different from an agnani one without Self-realization Gnani Purush Dadashri gives all levels of understanding to become free from mistakes. Fir...

What should be the goal of this human life, which is so very rarely attained? No matter what the sansaric worldly goal may be but the spiritual goal must be to attain moksha liberation by becoming free from all mistakes. By nurturing the vision that sees all beings as flawless one must not miss the purusharth spiritual effort of becoming free from mistakes. In daily vyavahar worldly life interactions, one hurts the family members, elderly people, relatives, friends, and ...

In the Akram path one becomes sahaj natural after attaining atmagnan Self-knowledge. Thereafter, the prakruti the relative self remains to come to naturalness. When the prakruti becomes natural then the self becomes natural and that is completion purnahuti. Natural means no tyaga renunciation, no grahan acquisition, and no doer ship at all. Where any effort is involved it is not natural sahaj. In this Akram path, once one attains the state of pure Soul—‘I am Shuddhatma’ ...

Shrimad Rajchandra became a great Gnani Purush in this current time cycle in Gujarat. In His Vachanamrut, he has repeatedly written on every page to look for a living Gnani Purush for attainment of moksha liberation, for attainment of Atmagnan Self-realization. He has said, ‘after meeting a Gnani Purush, follow His Agna; and then if you do not attain moksha then take it from me.’ He has given such guarantee. Greatly revered Dadashri, the current Gnani Purush emphasizes t...

All living beings possess four kinds of basic built in natural instincts. This is the universal law, whether it is a one sensed organism or a five sensed living being. These instincts are: ahaar food intake, maithun sex, nindra sleep and bhaya fear. These instincts are there from the time of conception to the time of death, and through these four instincts the work of living gets done automatically. How does fear arise? It arises in proportion to the belief, ‘I am going ...

The unwavering and well established goal for liberation exists in very rare seekers. Otherwise most forget the goal and get stuck in the sadhana—spiritual practice and sadhan—the instruments and the means of the practice. Gnani Purush Dadashri says that, ‘The one who has not become free from the instruments, has not attained the goal.’ However, we can say that he is involved in practicing some means for attaining moksha so he is moving towards the path of the goal. But t...

The worldly view and the Gnani’s view are vastly different, like the sky and the earth. People see actions, whereas, the Gnani sees the intent behind the action. When an action is performed with a selfish intent one binds paap—demerit karma, and if the same action is performed with an unselfish intent, one binds with punya—merit karma. In both these instances one has to return to this world to suffer the fruits of these karmas. Actions will remain right here, demerit and...

Talking cannot be avoided in worldly interactions. However in talking the slightest element of insistence, expectation, or opinion leads to potential for clashes. Then, once the inner entanglement arises, further talking and discussion only leads to more of the same. What is the solution where such entanglements arise? Hold your silence—maun with deliberation. What kind of an understanding should one set within? Any wrong worldly interactions done by the opposite person,...

Through Akram Vignan—step less path of Self-realization of Gnani Purush Dadashri one attains ‘Atma Drashti’—vision as the Self, within two hours. Then only one starts to practice brahmacharya—freedom from all sexual impulses through thoughts, speech and acts—in a real sense. This is so, because awakened awareness—jagruti arises after the Self-realization. With this awareness one attains vision to see through ‘as it is’ that leads to dispassion—vairagya, followed by vitar...

You have attained the state of Shuddhatma—pure Soul after attaining Akram Gnan— Dadashri’s step less path to liberation, from Gnani Purush Dadashri. From here onwards, spiritual progress is defined further. The Self that has been attained is verily natural—sahaj. Now when the prakruti—the non-Self complex of thoughts, speech and acts becomes natural then it is purnahuti—completion. After attainment of ‘this’—Self-knowledge one needs to progress towards that purusharth—in...

One attains Akram Gnan (Self-realization of the step-less path of liberation) with the grace of the Gnani Purush. However, one's prior karma accounts remain to be settled. That is why it is extremely important to remain in touch with a Ganni Purush to understand what one has really attained in this direct path which is scientific. In this path, the wrong belief 'I am Chandulal', leaves and is replaced with the right belief 'I am Shuddhatma (pure Self)'. This state of Shu...

The state of the Gnani Purush is sahaj atma swaroop—the natural state of the Self, but what is the meaning of sahaj atma swaroop and how can one attain that? Can everyone attain this state? Yes, it is possible. Gnani Purush Dadashri’s Akram Vignan—the step-less scientific path of Self-realization makes it possible for the seeker to become sahaj—natural as the Self, by employing purushaarth—highest inner spiritual endeavor after attaining the Self. One attains AtmaGnan—Se...

The language used in everyday life has prevailing meanings, but the real meaning is known from Gnani Purush where the ultimate meaning is attained. That explanation is way away from the popular meaning, but it is real and therefore touches the heart. Swa means the Self and swa-arthi really means for the Self-the Soul. The one who lives for the Self is the real selfish one. There are selfless people in this world; those who live for others, like a candle, not just for th...

It is held that a life as a human being is very difficult to attain even for a celestial being. Why? The reason for this is that salvation—absolute enlightenment and liberation is only possible through life as a human being. However, for this one must have made a meaningful goal as a human being. In the absence of meeting a true Gnani one continues to remain in agnan—ignorance of the Self and in that state one wastes away precious human life in creating and running after...

In this era, in 1958, Akram Vignan (the step-less scientific path of Self-realization) manifested within Shri Ambalal M. Patel. This made him a Gnani Purush and he came to be known to the world as Dadashri. From the moment of manifestation of the Gnan, he has remained as the Self, separate from the body, and this separation is constant. The body attained its naturalness, and He remains as the natural Self. Even while conducting worldly duties in his business he remains f...

In the worldly states of ignorance, those who do not speak any words are considered silent. Ordinary human beings are unable to refrain from speaking. For the One who is fully Self-realized, ‘I am not the speaker, this tape recorder is playing,’ is the state. Such a One is simply the ‘knower’ and the ‘seer’ of the speech. The real definition of silence is when one listens to one’s own speech. Another is when one speaks exclusively about the Self and related matters only ...

In this worldly life, as one’s intellect increases, so does one’s inner turmoil. This intellect is the culprit, which ignites an inferno in the most unexpected moments leading to overt conflicts and tension. The highly revered Gnani Purush, Dadashri, has shown the easy way to be free from all inner turmoil and external conflicts. This is the path of internal apology and repentance. If you have any problems with anybody, then bow down internally to that person and ask for...

In the current issue of Dadavani, beautiful material has been compiled in which Gnani Purush Dadashri is molds and prepares Pujya Niruma for Jagat Kalyan - Salvation of the World. This is like a sculptor Most revered Gnani Purush Dadashri had the time to create such a marvel in the living human image of Pujya Niruma. He molded her in various ways through chiseling jabs of all types necessary, which Pujya Niruma received, accepted and yielded to with grace, total surrend...

One proceeds in worldly life thinking that all those who are dear and close to him are for real and it is for their love and affection, he struggles hard in life, but in the end he finds it a betrayal. At such times, instead of coming closer to the real nature of the world, he binds new accounts of abhorrence with those who were involved in the interaction. The Gnanis however, have known this world to be selfish from a very long time. They do not get entangled in this we...
