However if it goes out of normality then such speech becomes harmful to others and to the self too. Absolutely revered Dadashri has unfolded the science of the basis and reason for wrong or right speech.

When one’s ego is not satisfied-nurtured then at that time one will have separation with the other person;...

It is the relationship between a supporter and a support taker. It is necessary to un...

For Dadashri the revolutions of the mind are very high so miscommunications would arise in interacting with those with lesser revolutions in the worldly dealings. Thereafter he started installing a counter-pulley. The counter-pulley reduces the speed of thoughts and brings them down to the level of the speed of the thoughts of the other person and then the seeker easily understands the conversations. Dadashri gives the example that if you connect a high-speed engine wi...

Liberation (moksha) is extremely easy however, it is extremely rare and thus difficult to meet a Gnani Purush who has the spiritual energy to liberate another human being.

Dadashri used to say that I am not the one who is speaking; it is the original taped record that speaks. The speech is not an attribute of the Self, but the coding of speech happens in the form of intent association through the prompt of the ego, and it expresses as evident sound from a subtle form due to fruition of karma. He used to say that this is the ‘observatory of the world’. That is why he gave the scientific solutions to hundreds of thousands of questions and th...
