Why does a human being wander life after life in the worldly life (sansar)? It is due to egoism (ahamkar). When this ego dissolves then moksha (liberation) happens. Every embodied soul progresses by attaining experience at every level on the evolutionary path. This collection of experiences is called ‘I-ness’ (potapanu). After Atmagnan (realization of the Self), ego leaves, but potapanu remains. The ego is gone, the realm of authority (satta) left, but ‘he-potey’ does no...

We have attained the knowledge of the Self through Akram Vignan. Now we have to complete the worldly life interaction (vyavahar) by remaining in the state of the Self (nischaya). This vyavahar is in the form of discharge however due to attachment, expectation or kashayas (anger-pride-deceit-greed), sometimes atikraman (aggression through thought-speech-acts) happens towards another person. Such vyavahar hurts the other person. It is imperative on the way to final moksha ...

New events keep coming in life and worldly interaction happens suitable to those particular events. However only a rare person makes the critical assessments from those events and makes his life ideal and auspicious. We are aware of such an ideal vibhuti (the manifestation of the magnificence, splendor, energies and glory of the absolute pure Soul in a human body) revered Dadashri, who lived His life with a totally different approach and offered a gift of special knowled...

Potapanu means filled stock (bharelo maal), discharge ego. One becomes the doer (karta) in that discharge ego. To follow the dictates of the intellect is called ‘I-ness’. To protect prakruti (mind-body-speech complex), the pudgal (the non-Self complex) is ‘I-ness’. Beyond the protection one goes further and attacks too. What is the use of the ‘I-ness’, which hurts others? When one protects through deceit, it is dense ‘I-ness’ (potapanu). Once one protects the prakruti, i...

Why does anger happen? It is because one becomes engrossed with the nature of prakruti (the non-Self complex). A thought arises in the mind and the self becomes tanmayakar (engrossed) in it and anger arises. After attaining Gnan, anger-pride-deceit-greed-ego remain as discharge. Discharge means, with whatever intent it was filled in, charged, with such intent it gets emptied, discharges. After attaining Gnan, anger-pride-deceit-greed-ego remain as discharge. Discharge me...

Any interaction through mind, speech or action is considered vyavahar (worldly interaction). Sadavyavahar (right worldly interaction) is to interact with the world according to the rules of the scriptures. Sadavyavahar is the cause of indirect (paroksha) moksha and shuddha vyavahar (pure worldly interaction) is the cause of direct (pratyaksha) moksha. When one has the awareness of the Self, when one’s life is lived in the five Agnas and when kashayas do not have any effe...

Who is free from the prevailing belief, ‘I am right, my talk is right’? A worldly person, a sadhu and a mahatma (the one who has attained Self-realization through Gnan Vidhi of Akram Vignan) on the path of moksha; none are able to remain free from activity due to such prevailing belief. Revered Dadashri introduces such insistence laden conduct and defines the nature of willfulness and insistence as khencha. What does khencha mean? One keeps belaboring his point in order ...

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-realizatio...

The young person who has attained the Self from Gnani Purush Dadashri, now does not want to get married, but lacks the true understanding about brahmacharya. Where and how does he begin? The thoughts that oppose brahmacharya will continue to arise. The intellect will show how it would be so difficult to live a life without anyone else. Everyone has married, so they must have done so with understanding. I have a heavy stock of sexuality so I will not be able to conquer it...

One is the Self (Atma) and the Self is Knowledge (Gnan), the Self is Science (Vignan), the Self is the liberated state (moksha), so then why is the experience of moksha halted? Because of kashaya: anger-pride-deceit-greed. Anger-pride-deceit-greed arose and that is verily bhaavkarma (charge karma). When karma is charged, effect is inevitable at the time of discharging, that verily is this antahkaran, mind-intellect-chit-ego. So effect from causes and causes from effect,...

Absolutely revered Dadashri is the wonder of this current time cycle as a Gnani Purush in the attire of a householder but along with this, his phenomenal worldly interaction can also be considered as a wonder. It is evident from his worldly interaction that he is an excellent example of carrying out ideal worldly interaction while staying constantly in the state of the Self. How should be the worldly interaction? Who can give us precise and incontrovertible understanding...

Absolutely revered Dadashri says that we are bound by our mistakes. We are verily parmatma (the absolute Self), if we destroy the mistakes. You have as many faults as you have hair on your head, but how will these faults come to surface if you are the judge, the lawyer and the plaintiff? The fact is that as long as one is partial, he cannot see his own mistakes. One becomes impartial by attaining Self-realization from the Gnani Purush. One does not remain partial towards...

Food intake, fear, sleep and sexual satisfaction: are four natural instincts. Human states and situations arise due to these four. The results and the effects of engrossment in them, and the dangers due to this engrossment need to be understood through correct scientific understanding. Who can give one such an understanding? Worldly scientific experiments and pursuits help human beings and life on this earth. They also lead to the development and discovery of that which ...

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 nat...

There are only two things: circumstances and Atma (the Self). If one remains as the Self then what else is left? Only circumstances. And circumstances are of the non-Self and are dependent on the non-Self; they are settling as they are discharging. The knowledge of the Lord says that this world is verily the result of my own projection. The effects of causes created by me are verily unfolding through the other person; and in all that; what can the other person do? Is it ...

Anger does happen for some or another reason in the life. Did you ever think seriously about anger? What is anger? What are the results of anger and why does it arise? Anger that arises is the result of unawareness. Anger is always associated with violent intent and with an ongoing link of grudge. Anger is a live fire. As long as one moves about as, ‘I am Chandulal,’ anger-pride-deceit-greed, remain within. Now when Gnani Purush gives You awareness of the Self and You re...

People are trying to attain pleasure, peace and bliss in the life but why they do not attain true pleasure or bliss? The whole world is in kashaya. Kashaya means anger-pride-deceit-greed, all these are weaknesses. That which hurts the self (atma) is all kashaya. Absence of kashaya is verily bliss, that which makes one forget the world is called the bliss of the Self. Anger, pride, deceit, greed, attachment abhorrence, cause a veil that comes over the Self and thus preven...

Food is mandatory for maintenance of life. Food for living being is verily a living being. One cannot eat any thing except a living being. One has to eat the thing which has life in it and only through this a body can attain nourishment. This is because the act of eating itself involves killing. And killing of living beings happen in act of eating food; as a result, violence is committed; so then what should people, who want to follow the path of religion or spirituality...

Ego should be such that people would like you and welcome you. Such ego can become so purified progressively that there remains only one degree difference between the self and the absolute Self (paramatma). And if the same ego walks in the wrong direction then not only it will not bring about one’s own salvation, but it will hurt many people. Revered Dadashri particularly explains in detail about this crazy ego which is one grave danger zone in the progress in the path o...

So it is worth understanding this world. Not in one’s own understanding; it should be understood as in the vision of the Gnani Purush. The Gnani Purush gives one the ‘long-sight’ that will enable one to see things exactly the way they are; then one will not have conflict or quarrel, one will not have todfod cracking and breaking, one will not have munbheda separation due to differences in mind, matabheda divisiveness due to differences in opinions; and thus all will get ...
