In the current edition, while referring to pain that is given to others, the vision (drashti) is set towards its result and the liability it will bring. ‘On what basis am I bound to worldly life, what result will come with each of my karma, what liabilities will arise,’ if this is understood, then the turning back begins, and internal remorse prevails within. That is all; the beginning of this understanding will take one forward. ...

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-realization) at that time, ‘I’ comes in to the state of the Self, then one realizes that ‘I am not the eater’ but I ‘the non-eater’, am only the ‘knower’ of this. One is not ‘the eater’ yet to believe oneself to be ‘the eater’ is considered unawareness (ajagruti) and to ‘see’ and ‘know’ that ‘the eater’ is separate, is considered awareness (jagruti). Therefore, revered Dadashri says that after Self-realization ‘the eater’ is eating and ‘the Self’ is only the ‘knower’. ...

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 nature will not change, it will remain as it is. That is why absolutely revered Dadashri points out to ‘see’ the pure (shuddha), settle the files with equanimity and solve any atikraman. ...

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 the main thing is, one must know his precise goal then only the awareness will remain. ...

Conflicts continuously arise within a family between husband and wife or parents and children due to lack of understanding. One tries to improve the other by scolding. This only increases interpersonal clashes and differences of opinions. When the wife has made an error and the husband remains silent, she will feel the heat of silence. If he speaks, then it would become ineffective. To scold one for his mistake is a fault. If you collide with a wall, whose fault is it? When one remains silent with equanimity in the face of deceitful aggression of the other then the inner strength of character arises. With such strength of character, family life becomes very harmonious. ...

Introduction: Fielding?s third great novel has been the subject of much more discordant judgments than either of its forerunners. If we take the period since its appearance as covering four generations, we find the greatest authority in the earliest, Johnson, speaking of it with something more nearly approaching to enthusiasm than he allowed himself in reference to any other work of an author, to whom he was on the whole so unjust....

Excerpt: Chapter 1. ?Everyone asks me what I ?think? of everything,? said Spencer Brydon; ?and I make answer as I can--begging or dodging the question, putting them off with any nonsense. It wouldn?t matter to any of them really,? he went on, ?for, even were it possible to meet in that stand-anddeliver way so silly a demand on so big a subject, my ?thoughts? would still be almost altogether about something that concerns only myself.? He was talking to Miss Staverton, with whom for a couple of months now he had availed himself of every possible occasion to talk; this disposition and this resource, this comfort and support, as the situation in fact presented itself, having promptly enough taken the first place in the considerable array of rather unattenuated surprises attending his so strangely belated return to America....
