Absolutely revered Dadashri says that, “Our mahatmas are akin to living and awakened Gods, so you should not see anyone’s faults. If you do want to see something, then see their good attributes.

Amidst one hundred negatives, you should find one positive and remain blissful.” Dadashri used to always say, “I never take a note of anyone’s intellect; I take a...

After attaining Gnan, mahatmas have assurance that ‘I am pure Soul’; the conviction of that has set in. They have experienced this to a certain extent, but they have not yet become that form. There is still separation [with the Self]. When One becomes the pure Soul completely, He becomes completely abhed. Pragnya has separated from the original Self to carry out worldly interactions, and when keval Gnan happens, the work of Pragnya comes to an end and It becomes one with...
