The mother of Gnan is understanding and that understanding can be attained from the Gnani Purush. Understanding means Darshan. All You actually have to do is understand the Science. As the understanding sets in, One begins to become steady as the Self. After attaining Gnan, the veils over the Self break and the doership leaves. All the causes have dissipated, now only these effects remain. How are those effects to be suffered? For that, understand this Science! In this very lifetime, it is possible to stop the wrong conduct by developing Your understanding through Gnan. The Gnani Purush is considered the Lord of the three worlds, so what cannot be achieved there? Therefore, You should understand everything from the Gnani Purush. It is our ardent prayer that by undertaking this Purusharth (real spiritual effort to progress as the Self) of understanding the Science, mahatmas can climb the ladder of attaining the state of experience of the Self. ...

In Akram Vignan, the Self and the non-Self is separated through the Gnan (the Knowledge of the Self). A line of demarcation has been drawn between the two, which remains in the form of a conviction. Now, when can One experience separation from the self, from Chandubhai? In order for the separation to prevail with Chandubhai, the process of conversing with Chandubhai has definitely been proven effective; and in order to take this process to the level of experience, Dadashri has given a unique experiment in detail and that is of the mirror samayik (introspective analysis as the Self). The Self is like a mirror. Just like external things ‘reflect’ in a mirror, in the same way, the universe ‘reflects’ within the Self as well. Now, by understanding the mirror-like intrinsic functional properties of the Self, the experiment to see Chandubhai separate in the mirror, is a unique discovery by Dadashri. Dadashri says, “Just like when you are closely observing others; in the same way You should closely observe Chandubhai.” After seating Chandubhai in front of the mirror, you should tell him about as many mistakes as you can see for an hour, th...

How can you remain sincere to Dada? By following the Agnas. The Agnas are actually a great thing. With the grace and the Agnas of the Gnani Purush, and your sincerity towards your goal, everything can change. You should put into application whatever Dada says, you should not keep a single opinion that differs from Dada. Sincere does not mean ‘without mistakes’; rather a sincere person has unity of heart, he does not allow separation to arise [with the other person]. However much sincerity one has towards Dada, that much grace is bestowed upon him. Sincerity and morality are the causes that lead one to moksha. There is no need to put in any efforts for this at all; through understanding, one simply has to make his resolve strong. In the current compilation, Dadashri has given various explanations on how mahatmas can remain sincere to the Gnan and progress speedily. ...

First comes, serving your mother and father, they are the ones who have given birth to you, then comes the service to your guru. They have obliged you since childhood by suffering many difficulties, and yet they have raised you, educated you and instilled moral values in you. One should never overlook the humility and reverence for them in this entire life. A huge gap has formed between the old generation and the new generation. The elderly cannot let go of their old-fashioned ways, while the new generation does not understand their pain, and as a result, the distance increases between them.

Due to merit karma of countless past lives, Akram Science is attained in this era of time cycle. One becomes aware that, ‘I am pure Soul,’ the conviction; awareness as the Self sets in; yet who obstructs experience of that state? The reason is one uses ‘inverted spectacles’ [seeing the relative] that are created from opinions & becomes bound to people, things circumstances. The only opinion one should have is, ‘This body is a betrayal.’ Even the slightest negative thought for the other person reaches him; then it develops further. There, shoot-on- sight pratikraman (to recall, apologize; resolve not to repeat a mistake) stops the vibrations from reaching the other person or it erases the ones that have reached. The moment it is erased, naturalness; spontaneity is noticeable in the speech & conduct with that person. This edition of Dadavani will help readers dissolve the veils of opinions in the form of ‘colored glasses’; progress on the path of liberation. ...

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 situation, then a solution will arise & while we keep on adjusting our ego, our kashaya (anger-pride-deceit-greed) will dissolve. When will we be able to adjust everywhere? Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “It is when you avoid clashes.” We are to avoid clashes for ‘safe-side’ of our liberation.

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 remain free from intellect that resides in antahkaran & interferes in worldly interaction. After attaining Knowledge of Self, intellect will dissolve on its own, assuming it does not interfere within. Having surpassed the height of intellect, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, who is beyond intellect, explains intellect through comprehensive viewpoint. If ‘I’, as the Self, remains in its own state, then Self is indeed separate from antahkaran & a state without bondage is experienced right here. ...

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 his goal. It is sincerity when no bad thought arises for anyone during any circumstance. Insincerity is also a good attribute. It can take one to final liberation faster. Nonetheless, one remains in the middle of the two i.e. he neither remains sincere nor he remains insincere. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “It will do if one achieves half the level of sincerity & morality.” In current compilation wonderful details are presented on sincerity-insincerity that will help reader progress on the spiritual path. ...

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.

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 should one interfere in it & spoil things for himself? Do not find faults in others because the person who is clashing with you is doing so due to effect of interference (dakhal) done by you in past. If a person does dakhal, you should endure it. If you happen to do dakhal, then you should confess, apologize & resolve to not repeat that mistake. Current compilation of Dadavani will help followers to progress on the path to liberation by helping them recognize dakho-dakhal that happens in worldly life & thus avoid dakho. ...

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 more life remains before final liberation (ekavtari).

This edition beautifully encompasses how one can attain final liberation in just one more lifetime. ...

Discretion is to differentiate essence from non-essence. In today’s families, root of all burning questions is lack of discretion & humility.

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 to trickle within. Once it has been tasted from within, it will nest itself within. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “Garvaras is the seed (cause) for a next life. It is due to this that worldly life is perpetuated.” In current edition, not only definition of Garvaras, its characteristics, its examples & dangers have been elaborated but also how to uproot it using keys of Knowledge has been explained in depth which will help the reader recognize these faults of sweetness & attain vigilant awareness against garvaras. ...

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.
