It is a fault to say ‘someone is doing this’, it is a fault to say ‘someone is not doing this’ and ‘I am doing’. Because no one is a doer (karta), vyavasthit (scientific circumstantial evidences) is the doer. Every living being is dependent on unfolding karma. From the time one is born until death, udaya (unfolding of karma) is in control. One is not at fault since he is karmadhin (dependent on karma). Therefore, one should not really be seen at fault. He appears at faul...

There is a general belief that one can achieve what he wants or he can improve others by getting angry. But has anyone any proof regarding the truth behind that belief? When one gets angry, he ruins of his own first and then spoils for others too; as a result there is a loss for the both parties. Is the human life for to earn the profit of life after life or to incur a loss? Dadashri says in this situation that he can tell him wherever it is necessary but do so without a...

Why does a human being wander life after life in the worldly life (sansar)? It is due to egoism (ahamkar). When this ego dissolves then moksha (liberation) happens. Every embodied soul progresses by attaining experience at every level on the evolutionary path. This collection of experiences is called ‘I-ness’ (potapanu). After Atmagnan (realization of the Self), ego leaves, but potapanu remains. The ego is gone, the realm of authority (satta) left, but ‘he-potey’ does no...

We have attained the knowledge of the Self through Akram Vignan. Now we have to complete the worldly life interaction (vyavahar) by remaining in the state of the Self (nischaya). This vyavahar is in the form of discharge however due to attachment, expectation or kashayas (anger-pride-deceit-greed), sometimes atikraman (aggression through thought-speech-acts) happens towards another person. Such vyavahar hurts the other person. It is imperative on the way to final moksha ...

New events keep coming in life and worldly interaction happens suitable to those particular events. However only a rare person makes the critical assessments from those events and makes his life ideal and auspicious. We are aware of such an ideal vibhuti (the manifestation of the magnificence, splendor, energies and glory of the absolute pure Soul in a human body) revered Dadashri, who lived His life with a totally different approach and offered a gift of special knowled...

Potapanu means filled stock (bharelo maal), discharge ego. One becomes the doer in that discharge ego. To follow the dictates of the intellect is called ‘I-ness’. To protect prakruti (mind-body-speech complex), the pudgal (the non-Self complex) is ‘I-ness’. Beyond the protection one goes further and attacks too. What is the use of the ‘I-ness’, which hurts others? When one protects through deceit, it is dense ‘I-ness’ (potapanu). Once one protects the prakruti, it does n...

Why does anger happen? It is because one becomes engrossed with the nature of prakruti (the non-Self complex). A thought arises in the mind and the self becomes tanmayakar (engrossed) in it and anger arises. After attaining Gnan, anger-pride-deceit-greed-ego remain as discharge. Discharge means, with whatever intent it was filled in, charged, with such intent it gets emptied, discharges. How the prakruti was wound in the past life, with that intent the prakruti will unfo...

Any interaction through mind, speech or action is considered vyavahar (worldly interaction). Sadavyavahar (right worldly interaction) is to interact with the world according to the rules of the scriptures. Sadavyavahar is the cause of indirect (paroksha) moksha and shuddha vyavahar (pure worldly interaction) is the cause of direct (pratyaksha) moksha. When one has the awareness of the Self, when one’s life is lived in the five Agnas and when kashayas do not have any effe...

Who is free from the prevailing belief, ‘I am right, my talk is right’? A worldly person, a sadhu and a mahatma on the path of moksha; none are able to remain free from activity due to such prevailing belief. Revered Dadashri introduces such insistence laden conduct and defines the nature of willfulness and insistence as khencha. What does khencha mean? One keeps belaboring his point in order to prove himself correct, that is insistence. Insistence is one of the biggest ...

What was the proportion of spices in the food? Then he can describe the saltiness, tartness or spiciness through the knowledge mediated by intellect. So, in fact, there are two divisions: the eater of the food and the knower. Physical body complex eats, the ego suffers (bhogavey) with only egoism that ‘I liked or disliked’ it. Now, as long as one is the doer-sufferer, he believes that ‘I am eating’ and ‘I am suffering’ for sure. When one attains Atmagnan (Self-realizatio...

The young person who has attained the Self from Gnani Purush Dadashri, now does not want to get married, but lacks the true understanding about brahmacharya. Where and how does he begin? The thoughts that oppose brahmacharya will continue to arise.Therefore, revered Dadashri shows him ways, one by one. Nature supports the one who has strong resolve and wants to follow brahmacharya (absolute freedom form sexual impulses through mind-speech-body). Unflinching determination...

"One is the Self (Atma) and the Self is Knowledge (Gnan), the Self is Science (Vignan), the Self is the liberated state (moksha), so then why is the experience of moksha halted? Because of kashaya: anger-pride-deceit-greed. Anger-pride-deceit-greed arose and that is verily bhaavkarma (charge karma). When karma is charged, effect is inevitable at the time of discharging, that verily is this antahkaran, mind-intellect-chit-ego. So effect from causes and causes from effect...

Absolutely revered Dadashri is the wonder of this current time cycle as a Gnani Purush in the attire of a householder but along with this, his phenomenal worldly interaction can also be considered as a wonder. It is evident from his worldly interaction that he is an excellent example of carrying out ideal worldly interaction while staying constantly in the state of the Self. How should be the worldly interaction? Who can give us precise and incontrovertible understanding...

Absolutely revered Dadashri says that we are bound by our mistakes. We are verily parmatma (the absolute Self), if we destroy the mistakes. You have as many faults as you have hair on your head, but how will these faults come to surface if you are the judge, the lawyer and the plaintiff? The fact is that as long as one is partial, he cannot see his own mistakes. One becomes impartial by attaining Self-realization from the Gnani Purush. One does not remain partial towards...

Food intake, fear, sleep and sexual satisfaction: are four natural instincts. Human states and situations arise due to these four. The results and the effects of engrossment in them, and the dangers due to this engrossment need to be understood through correct scientific understanding. Who can give one such an understanding? Worldly scientific experiments and pursuits help human beings and life on this earth. But this worldly life is one experiment (prayog) and the one w...

What does pratikraman mean? The mistake that has happened is wrong, I am not agreeing with it. Pratikraman is to change our opinion. Prakruti means our charitra moha (discharging illusory conduct) and it would harbor opinions but You want to become free from opinion. You (the awakened One in Akram Vignan) do not have desire to do this again. You have to do pratikraman to get rid of this aggression from your nature (swabhaav). If one does not do pratikraman then one’s nat...

There are only two things: circumstances and Atma (the Self). If one remains as the Self then what else is left? Only circumstances. And circumstances are of the non-Self and are dependent on the non-Self; they are settling as they are discharging. The effects of causes created by me are verily unfolding through the other person; and in all that; what can the other person do?So then what kind of happiness will he achieve by seeing a person who is faultless, at fault? Int...

Anger does happen for some or another reason in the life. Did you ever think seriously about anger? What is anger? What are the results of anger and why does it arise? Anger that arises is the result of unawareness. Anger is always associated with violent intent and with an ongoing link of grudge. Anger is a live fire. As long as one moves about as, ‘I am Chandulal,’ anger-pride-deceit-greed, remain within. Now when Gnani Purush gives You awareness of the Self and You re...

People are trying to attain pleasure, peace and bliss in the life but why they do not attain true pleasure or bliss? The whole world is in kashaya. Kashaya means anger-pride-deceit-greed, all these are weaknesses. Absence of kashaya is verily bliss, that which makes one forget the world is called the bliss of the Self. Anger, pride, deceit, greed, attachment abhorrence, cause a veil that comes over the Self and thus prevents the bliss from being experienced. Your kashaya...

Food is mandatory for maintenance of life. One has to eat the thing which has life in it and only through this a body can attain nourishment. This is because the act of eating itself involves killing. And killing of living beings happen in act of eating food; as a result, violence is committed; so then what should people, who want to follow the path of religion or spirituality, do? Dadashri has given right understanding regarding such aspects. This will give the right un...
