Those seeking to lead a spiritual life inevitably face challenges in their sincere pursuit of spirituality and practice. As spiritual development progresses, facing the many unintentional mistakes made through mind, speech, and conduct can become disconcerting. Naturally one begins to wonder, “Is it too late to apologize?”, “How to forgive and forget in unhealthy relationships?” and, “How to forgive yourself - both for mistakes of the past and for ongoing mistakes in...

Who hasn’t asked themselves what there is to life beyond just living? What is true purpose in life? There must be higher purpose than just living… In the book “Who am I?”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan describes that one’s ultimate life purpose is to find an answer to the age-old unanswered question of spiritual seekers: Who am I, and who is the ‘doer’ of all that happens in life? Dadashri also resolves questions such as: “What is the nat...

In moments of reflection, it is only natural to wonder what is the true purpose in life and to ask, behind the constant efforts made just in “living”, what is it that we are seeking? In the book “Self Realization”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan reveals the science of Self realization, describing that attaining knowledge of Self is ultimate life purpose, and is the beginning of lasting, permanent happiness. Pujya Dadashri explains that all...

There are times in life when we must endure suffering due to no fault on our part – or so it seems. In painful circumstances, we naturally question, “Why me? Am I wrong? It’s not my fault!” Such situations may feel like the very definition of suffering. In the book “Fault is of the Sufferer”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan provides spiritual solutions to common and everyday forms of suffering such as dealing with difficult people, facing unhe...

Those seeking to lead a spiritual life inevitably face challenges in their pursuit of spirituality and practice.

From the many religions of the world, which practices will accelerate my spiritual growth and help me learn how to become more...

Life requires continuous adjustment in relation to unpleasant and unfavorable circumstances. In everyday situations (such as opening an umbrella in the rain, or wearing a jacket in the cold) we generally don’t resist these required adjustments. However, when dealing with difficult people, facing unhealthy relationships, in family relationships, or in the midst of marriage problems, adjustments become increasingly difficult. Some of our relationships could even be said to...

Anger management is a popular and necessary topic in today’s world. In dealing with difficult people, in our family relationships, or in facing marriage problems, we simply do not know how to deal with anger! When dealing with anger, we may wonder, “Am I right?” or “How can I make myself understood?” Some of our relationships can be said to be the very definition of conflict! Lacking conflict resolution skills, and out of a sense of powerlessness in our circumstances,...

Over the course of life, many people become puzzled by circumstances beyond their control – both their own and those of others. It is only natural to wonder, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” While investigating, if one encounters the principle of karma, one may still be left asking, “What does karma mean, and how exactly does it work?” In the book “The Science of Karma”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan explains the meaning of karm...

As much as we would prefer otherwise, life includes its measure of unpleasant and unfavorable circumstances. In dealing with difficult people, facing unhealthy relationships, in family relationships, or in the midst of marriage problems, clashes occur. We might even say that some of our relationships are the very definition of conflict! We ask ourselves, how can we possibly avoid conflict in these emotionally-charged situations? In the book “Avoid Clashes”, Gnani Puru...

There are times in life when we must endure suffering due to no fault on our part – or so it seems. Life circumstances can appear terribly unjust. Naturally we question, “Why me? Am I wrong? It’s not my fault!” Or we witness others suffering injustice, and are left wondering, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” Added to the many problems in everyday life, these situations can feel like the very definition of suffering. We may conclude that there is no God, q...

Birth, education, job, marriage, kids, family and at the end…death! Is this the standard cycle of life to be followed? What is the ultimate goal of life? Why do we have to take birth? The human body that we have got…should do the duty of being humane. There should be humanity in life. According to Dadashri, the Gnani Purush (the enlightened one), humanity is that when someone hurts you, troubles you, you don’t like it. Hence, you should also not hurt anyone. That is t...
