Ego should be such that people would like you and welcome you. Such ego can become so purified progressively that there remains only one degree difference between the self and the absolute Self (paramatma). And if the same ego walks in the wrong direction then not only it will not bring about one’s own salvation, but it will hurt many people. Revered Dadashri particularly explains in detail about this crazy ego which is one grave danger zone in the progress in the path o...

What is the reason of this divisiveness? It is the divisive intellect bheda buddhi. The intellect creates separation that ‘this is mine’ and ‘this is yours’, ‘I am right’ and ‘you are wrong’, ‘I am good’ and ‘you are bad’. As long as there is intellect, ‘Iness’ potapanu will not leave and how can one become one until ‘I-ness’ leaves? When one’s ego is not satisfied-nurtured then at that time one will have separation with the other person; he will have abhorrence and when...

Right or wrong exist with respect to intellect in the world. Wrong and right, worthy and worthless all these duality exist in the society.

This wrong or right is duality.Gnani Purush Dadashri says that as long as you are having divisiveness due to differen...

The counter-pulley reduces the speed of thoughts and brings them down to the level of the speed of the thoughts of the other person and then the seeker easily understands the conversations. Dadashri gives the example that if you connect a high-speed engine wi...

Chit (Subtle component of vision and knowledge in the inner functioning instrument called antahkaran) became impure due to ignorance (agnan— ignorance of the Self). Until the chit becomes pure how can one experience Atma—the Self? The solution to purify the chit is to have familiarity with the Gnani Purush.
