Most human beings live their life but they do not have a goal in life. Revered Gnani Purush Dadashri cautions us that there must be an aim to human life. The main aim should be to attain the knowledge of the Self and Salvation(Moksha). The secondary aim should be to spend life helping others. If nothing else is understood, then life should be spent without hurting anyone. Everything else is a waste of time and energy. Once the aim is resolved within, whether it is attain...

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...

All human beings are living their life, but without having made any decision about the goal of life, one goes through their whole life.Instead, one binds the new karma for doing more of the same in the life to come.Money comes in this life as a result of merit karma performed in the past life. The purpose of this life is to attain liberation after attaining Self-realization. If one realizes this then one would start paying off the accounts one by one, clear them all and ...

When one surrenders to the One who is fearless, then one becomes permanently fearless. The wrong beliefs that have taken hold from infinity is the reason for fear arising in some worldly interactions from time to time. In this the Gnani Purush establishes the right vision and understanding, ‘You are pure Soul, Chandubhai is separate,’ and then where is the existence of fear? As long as any kind of ignorance exists, there will be effects of fear. As each belief stemming ...

In worldly life, each individual has to play different roles at different times for e.g., parents with their children, husband & wife, younger people with elders, boss with a subordinate, teacher & student, etc. If we classify all these relations in short, then interaction between superior & underhand [subordinate] becomes apparent. One who looks after his underhand can be referred to as a superior. To carry out interactions that hurt those dependent on you or to scold t...

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...

Every parent longs for their child to grow up with right values. To raise children with good values, firstly, don’t do that which you, yourself, don’t like, in front of them. If you learn how to be a ‘gardener’ & are able to recognize prakrutis (non-Self complexes) within the home, then your ‘garden’ will flourish beautifully! Taking too much care of child may make him crippled. A child learns a lot from parents’ worldly interaction. If parents understand balance of wher...

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.

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...
