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 by yourself is very hard, so when someone insults you it is very good because the interest of the ego is being taken away easily. Once you have decided that you will drink all the bitterness a person may give you, then you will be able to drink it. So learn how to accept the one who insults you as your well-wisher and digest his insults with a smiling face – only then can you one day become Neelkanth! ...

In our routine life we often use words like command, teaching, etc., but we can understand these words only after an enlightened one reveals its actual meaning. What is commanding speech like? 'You don't have to eat potatoes. Take a vow that you will never eat potatoes. You will have to do like this.' It is in the form of an order. Whereas speech which is in the form of teaching will make one understand, 'To not eat potatoes has following benefits. If you eat potatoes then it will harm you as follows.' It will make one understand all the benefits-harms of any particular thing, then whether to do it or not is upto you. Whereas speech of the Omniscient One which is in the form of ‘Deshna’ differentiates between Self & Non-Self. His speech reveals the principles behind the reality of all worldly things without any contradiction. Still the 'Omniscient One' never becomes the owner of his speech; he is always in the state of his Self. Such was the speech of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan! ...

Everybody is living their life as a human. Getting birth-studying-working-getting married-having kids- becoming grandparents-ultimately dying. But is this all that we are supposed to do in our lives?What are we suppose to achieve in our life?If we get birth as a human then we are suppose to be in the religion of humanity. What is religion of humanity? We don't like anybody hurting us, so we should take care that nobody gets hurt because of us. Whoever adopts this principle in his life is said to be in the religion of humanity. One step ahead of religion of humanity is being 'Superhuman' - even when a person is unkind to us, still in his time of need we are kind & helpful to him. A stage higher to that of 'Superhuman' is attained after 'Self Realization'. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says that one who does service of his/her parents will never experience shortage of money & all his necessities will be met with & the one who does service of his Guru (Spiritual teacher) will attain salvation. ...

"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 mean that you have to suffer. We do not have to suffer but we should learn to find solutions. Another important principle is Adjust Everywhere. If anyone comes to create any disadjustment with us we should adjust to that person. If we constantly avoid clashes then it helps develop common sense in us. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan also says that we should always adjust as per the current generation. ...

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 the biggest humanity. Getting a human body means one is free to go to any one of the four forms of life (gatis). One is human form, the other three being – animal form, devgati (heaven/celestial being) and narak gati (hell/beast form). Whatever are the causes so are the effect. If we show humanity, we will get a human body in next birth. In the given book, Dadashri has discussed the concepts of humanity with the humble intention that if people learn humanity then human life will be fruitful. ...

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.

For anyoFor anyone wondering what is spiritual enlightenment, it is essential to learn of the 24 Tirthankaras of the past, and Tirthankaras of the present. In previous eras, it was possible to achieve instant enlightenment simply from meeting a Tirthankara. At present, such sudden enlightenment is not possible here on earth.
