Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says that our mind can be controlled only after Self Realization. Mind can be controlled when one becomes follower of a Gnani Purush who has in turn controlled his own mind. As soon as one starts listening to his/her mind, worries start. 'Mind' is the object to be 'Seen' and we are its 'Seer'. We are 'Seer' of both the good and bad thoughts that arise in the mind. This world has come into existence because Self has become engrossed with the Mind....

Don't we often wonder why we face so many obstructions in our life sometimes even to complete simplest of the tasks? What could be the reason behind these obstructions? Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says our own wishes are the main cause of our obstruction. When our wishes reduce our obstructions start breaking. Gnani Purush never faces any obstruction in his life since he has reached the stage where he has no wishes left. Wishes are not the only cause of obstruction, our ego...

There are 2 ways to attain salvation:Kramic Marg & Akram Marg. Kramic Marg is where one has to progress step by step & Akram Marg is where one attains Self without any hard work. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan calls it Lift Marg. In Kramic Marg there is a lot of uncertainty. If you get Satsang in Kramic Marg you climb 5000 steps but if you get Kusang only once you can fall down 1000 steps altogether. Akram Gnan is the same Gnan that Lord Rushabhdev had given to his eldest son-...

"Don't get involved into anyone’s Clashes and Avoid Clashes" Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says if you follow only this sentence of ours you will surely reach till moksha. But what is the meaning of Avoid Clashes? If we are walking straight and a pole comes in our way, what do we do? We go around the pole don't we? Similarly, if someone comes to clash with us, we should understand that we have to avoid this clash. This world exists because of Clash. To avoid clashes does not ...

Knowledge is light and this light itself is Pure Soul. It cannot be compared to anything in this world because there is no other thing like Pure Soul. Soul is only the Seer of this entire world. To believe, I am Chandulal (reader to substitue his/her name), I am her husband, I am his father are all wrong beliefs. It is only when these wrong beliefs are fractured that the right belief of 'I am Soul' sets in. Pure Soul is always in its natural state. Your belief of 'I am C...

After receiving Knowledge of Self, one attains state as the Self. Thereafter, in order to attain final liberation, all one needs is to exhaust his prakruti. To exhaust prakruti means to adjust one’s prakruti in a way suiting to others. Daily we take adjustments for so many things, don’t we? Now we should take adjustments with living beings too & become adaptive. For this, if we identify other person’s prakruti, then we can easily take adjustments. When we adjust in every...

From an enlightened being’s perspective human life is a systematic series of separate circumstances. All circumstances are in form of effect, however due to ignorance, egoism & intellect one has attachment-abhorrence which gives rise to new circumstances. After attaining Knowledge of Self, ignorance is removed however antahkaran (internal functioning mechanism in every human being composed of the mind, intellect, chit & ego) remains. Now it is imperative to know how to r...

Is there anything that is essentially required to complete any task? There are two virtues required: sincerity & morality. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “If these two things are present in this era of time cycle, then that is more than enough. Even if one of them is present, it will indeed take one to final liberation.” What is meant by sincerity? To remain sincere to one’s own self, to remain sincere to things he is decided on. A sincere person would never go against h...

Upon attaining Knowledge of Self from the Gnani Purush & with His grace, even sublest ego gets destroyed. So, the ego which binds karma is destroyed & discharge ego which suffers karma remains. This discharge intellect & ego are non-living but nevertheless their effect sometimes results in daily worldly interactions in form of anger-pride-deceit-greed. At that time, because awareness does not remain one becomes affected. However, if he uses the supportive knowledge, ‘Die...

In this era of time cycle, environment in all four directions is engulfed in fire of sexuality. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan reveals the reality of pleasures related to sexuality, through it, not only awareness of true happiness arises but also awareness that there is actually no happiness at all in sexual pleasures that were believed due to societal influence & ignorance of Self arises. The distinct experience of Self in this very body can be attained only by practicing pur...

How can those who have received Self-realization on Akram path know whether or not they are progressing? Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan answers this in just one sentence, “See whether interference (dakho) arises within you or not.” Everywhere one looks, people only continue to interfere. Then, how can one’s progress happen? Everyone has come together due to bondage of attachment-abhorrence created in past life & everyone has certainly brought his own karmic account. Then why s...

The Lord has said that, “In the current era of the time cycle, there is no unity of thought-speech-action and that is the reason why one cannot attain liberation from this era of the time cycle and from this location.” But that does not mean that path to liberation is closed, it is indeed open, but via Mahavideh Kshetra (one of the 3 regions in universe where human beings reside). Through Akram path one can attain Knowledge of Self & also attain a state whereby only one ...

Discretion is to differentiate essence from non-essence. In today’s families, root of all burning questions is lack of discretion & humility. Whether in home or outside, there is divisiveness due to differences of opinions, a sense of this is mine & that is yours, stubbornness exists and, in doing so, we consider ourselves to be intelligent! But in reality Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says that, “An intelligent person is one who finds a ‘safeside’ everywhere, within the home...

On the path of spirituality, what hinders attainment of final goal of liberation? Of many obstructions, one cause is garvaras. Garva means to believe, ‘I am doing it’ when in reality, one is not the doer. At that moment, the interest (rasa) that arises within is garvaras. It is sweetest of all tastes in the world. All someone needs to say is, “You can explain very well, you know a lot,” & that’s it! The excitement will definitely arise within & then sweetness continues t...

In all religions concentration is achieved through meditation & devotional worship. Jains especially do samayik to achieve concentration. However, due to unsteady mind one ends up getting thoughts related to worldly life while doing samayik, even when they have decided otherwise. An actual Samayik (introspective analysis as Self) is one which remains while moving about, it not only burns demerit karmas but also karma gets completely discharged. To remain constantly in th...

His presence alone consoled everyone’s heart. One often wondered secret behind this attraction. To which, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan answered, ‘It is my purity that...

Every family is trying to figure out how relationship between parents & children can become ideal. It is indeed painful to see distance growing between parents & children due to difference of opinions. Relationship among parents & children swings between attachment-abhorrence. Almost all parents complain about their children. At that time, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan gives a cautioning hint asking parents, ‘what college did you receive certificate to become a mother or a fa...

On the battlefield of Kurukshetra, the divine vision imparted by Lord Krishna to Arjuna is the very same divine vision received in Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan’s 2 hour Self Realization experiment. In Self Realization experiment, wrong belief is fractured & right belief sets in. Through this divine Vision, with relative vision, outer packing (packing of a man, woman, donkey, dog, fish, trees, leaves, etc.) is seen, & with real Vision, pure Soul within is Seen. All that is re...

What does prayer mean? Prayer is a conversation with the omniscient God within, & moreover it is a wireless conversation! It is to ask for higher extra meaning/to make special request. When we pray in worldly life, along with attaining peace, we also find solution for our troubles, don’t we? But is that the only scope of prayers? Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan talks about 2 kinds of prayers: One for the purpose of worldly life & other for the ultimate purpose & goal. Prayer is...

In every step of life, our intellect functions by showing us profit and loss. Respect and insult on the otherhand are the sweet and bitter interests of the ego. In our daily interactions one has the belief that it is better if they are called respectfully, while Param Pujya Dadashri says, that, “It is indeed the insult that is very beneficial.” After obtaining the Knowledge of the Self, the interests of the ego are to be drawn away. But to pull the interests of the ego b...
