What Is the Self? What Is It Like? Where Is It?  (Eng. Dadavani Sep-2024)

In the current edition, basic satsang has been compiled from Dadashri’s speech on the doubts regarding the existence of the Self in the world, and also on questions like, where has the Self come from? Who made the Self? Does the Self have a physical form or is it formless? Where does the Self reside in the body? When One realizes His Real form, only then will all these properties unveil through the awareness as the Self! Generally, no one can know the Self by himself. The Gnani Purush has seen the Self, Known it and experienced it, and He prevails as nothing but the Self. So it is an ardent prayer that may all the seekers of liberation realize the Self from such a Gnani Purush, may they follow His Agnas and progress on the path to liberation.

In This World, the One Who Always Remains in the Present Is a Gnani (Eng. Dadavani Nov-2024)

After attaining the Knowledge of the Self, the Gnani Purush Dada Bhagwan has given the five Agnas to finish worldly interactions with complete purity. In this issue, in order to follow the Agna of vyavasthit exactly, Dadashri gives the understanding of how to remain in the present through ordinary examples that happen in worldly interaction. Dadashri used to say, “‘I’ remain in the present and I am teaching you to remain in the present.” The ardent prayer is that after attaining Gnan, One can do the Purusharth of following the Agna of vyavasthit exactly in the midst of any circumstances that are encountered in worldly interaction, constantly remain in the present at every moment, and experience the bliss of the Self.

To Become Free From Karmic Tubers, Let’s Recognize the Tuber of Pride (Eng. Dadavani Oct-2024)

Through the grace of the Gnani, with the removal of the ignorance of the Self, the ego can be permanently eradicated. However, the Prakruti that was bound in the past life, which has its inherent nature, will not refrain from reacting. That is why it is crucial to be aware and vigilant towards the obstructive factors on the path to ultimate liberation. Amongst these numerous obstructive faults, let’s recognize the tuber of pride (maan) and do Purusharth with awakened awareness against its various phases. As a solution of Gnan against the phases of pride, an exact line of demarcation has been drawn between the Real and the relative. To dissolve the tuber of pride, initiate Purusharth by Seeing pride as being separate scientifically and technically ‘divide’ the beggary for pride.

Remaining Separate Scientifically, Divide The Mistake Technically (Eng. Dadavani Aug-2024)

Whenever speech pertaining to the Real viewpoint comes forth, at that time it is said that no matter what conduct ends up happening by Chandubhai, even then You are pure, and everything besides that is certainly a discharge. Moreover, You are to Scientifically remain separate from Chandubhai, and technically make Chandubhai do pratikraman. ‘The only purpose in Seeing the pure Soul of the other person is that You remain in Your pure state, in the state of awakened awareness. Now let us remain in the Agnas, cleanse our mistakes through pratikraman, and thus utilize this ‘Scientific invention’ to purify the Real and relative viewpoints by remaining in the awakened awareness, and progress on the path to moksha; that is our heartfelt prayer! 

Aseem Jai Jai Kar – The ‘Cash Bank’ of Divine Solution (Eng. Dadavani Jul-2024)

In this issue, the importance of ‘Dada Bhagwan Na Aseem Jai Jai Kar Ho’ is explained. Dadashri says, “The kirtan bhakti (singing the glory of God or of the Self) that ‘we’ are doing, that is the kirtan bhakti of the Dada Bhagwan (the absolute Self) who has manifested within the Gnani Purush (the One who has realized the Self and is able to do the same for others).” Upon saying this, One becomes aware as the Self and the swaroop kirtan bhakti of the Lord residing within takes place. To sing ‘Dada Bhagwan Na Aseem Jai Jai Kar Ho’ with sincerity is considered a great deal of Purusharth. For mahatmas facing adversity, singing ‘Dada Bhagwan Na Aseem Jai Jai Kar Ho’ is the only tool which will yield immediate results, this is the ‘cash bank’ of divine solution!

Forget the Past and the Future, Remain in the Present (Eng. Dadavani June-2024)

When attaining Gnan on the Akram path, egoism and ‘myness’ both dissolve, one realizes ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Who is the doer?’, and one can live a life free of worries. Despite this, during the unfolding of discharge karma, mahatmas end up becoming engrossed in thoughts about the past and the future. In addition, it dwells in worries of ‘What if this happens? That is why absolutely Revered Dadashri always cautioned never to use the words ‘if’ and ‘then’. [He said,] “So many years ago I removed these two words from my dictionary. Where we do not have any control, it is not helpful to think about the future. Think for today, not for tomorrow!” The heartfelt prayer is that through the Gnan He has given, may mahatmas remain in the present and experience the permanent state of liberation.

The Self That Is Free of Doubts Has Been Experienced Through Akram Vignan (Eng. Dadavani May-2024)

Glory to the Tirthankar Lords, how profound Their discoveries are! The absolute Self that the Tirthankar Lords have Known, ‘we’ have Seen that Self which is completely separate. The Self You have been given is such that doubt about it never arises. ! This is in fact Akram Vignan, so You attain the unadulterated pure Self; this is how this Science of the absolutely detached Lords, which is free of contradictions, is!? To find even one person who has become free from doubts in this world is the most difficult thing. ‘You’ should know this world without any doubts; doubts should not arise anywhere. The One who has known the entire world without any doubts, by following in the footsteps of such a Gnani, may we also experience this Self which is without any doubts; that is the ardent prayer.

Let’s Untangle the Imaginary Entanglement of Pride and Insult (Eng. Dadavani April-2024)

In spite of having attained such wonderful Gnan at the time of insult, one becomes engrossed in the ego, and when the effects arise, he wastes time in attachment (raag) and abhorrence (dwesh) causing veils over the bliss of His own Self. For this, on the occasion of Dada Bhagwan’s Gurupurnima in 2023, Pujyashree had given a special message in line with Dadashri’s Gnan, “Bring a solution with Gnan by Seeing pride as separate.” A few keys from Dadashri’s speech have been compiled here in order to nurture the understanding of how to remain free of the effects of pride and insult. Therefore, the ardent prayer is that You follow the Agnas, do penance (tapa), remain in Your Real form as the Self, become free of attachment and abhorrence, and proceed in Purusharth towards attaining vitaraagata.

The Progress From the State of the Pure Soul to the Real Form as Absolute Knowledge (Eng. Dadavani March-2024)

Through the grace of Dada Bhagwan, upon attaining the state of the pure Soul, aspashta vedan has
been attained. Now in this lifetime, through Atma, the goal is to reach the state of spashta vedan of
the Self. When One attains spashta vedan, He will See His Real form which is niralamb, which is in
the Real form as absolute Knowledge. To accomplish this goal, may we all remain in the five Agnas
daily, without fail; may we become free of the karmic tubers of the faults in the form of kashay
(anger, pride, deceit, greed); may we remain in shuddha upayog and See the prakruti as separate.
Now, as the ‘files’ are cleared away, the state to prevail as the Knower-Seer will increase. Beyond
that, may we See and experience keval Gnan swaroop; that is the ardent prayer.

The Gnani Explains the Steps of Syadvaad Vani (Eng. Dadavani Feb-2024)

The Gnani’s (the One who has realized the Self and is able to do the same for others; also known as the Gnani Purush) speech is living, it is pratyaksh Saraswati, it is without ego, it is without attachment and abhorrence. His speech is subject to the other person’s worldly interactions, leading many living beings to the path of salvation! When the ego is completely dissolved, when no one in the world is seen as being at fault, when all kashay come to an end, syadvaad vani comes forth. As we observe the vitaraag charitra of the Gnani Purush, as we understand His speech, the causes for vitaraag charitra will be nurtured. It is an ardent prayer that may this current edition give us the exact understanding of the Gnani Purush’s vitaraag, syadvaad vani.

Purusharth Against Sexuality With the Right Understanding for Married People (Eng. Dadavani Jan-2024)

Akram Vignan is such a wonderful spiritual Science that it ‘admits’ even married people to the path of liberation. In this issue, the practical questions that perplex mahatmas, such as questions regarding the discharging sexual thoughts that arise etc. To remove these doubts, absolutely revered Dadashri’s knowledge-laden speech related to brahmacharya is compiled here which explains the true nature of sexuality and the use of ‘three vision’ against it etc. Through the scientific speech of the Gnani Purush, awakened awareness should remain against sexuality, and remorse should remain for the sexuality that does arise, and with the understanding of Brahmacharya, Purusharth should commence with the scientific approach; that is the ardent prayer.

The Five Agnas Keep One Free From the Effects of Insult (Eng. Dadavani Dec-2023)

In the current edition, you will get keys on increasing the awareness of separation and becoming free from the effects of insult. Mahatmas may be hurling abuse on the outside, but they repent within that, ‘What happened is wrong,’ and they are free from attachment and abhorrence; that is uchit vyavahaar. Dadashri says, “The one hurling abuse is the power chetan, it is based on my own karmic account and that person is actually a pure Soul.” If You nurture this Vision, then You will be able to See the entire world as flawless. The ardent prayer is that while following the five Agnas and dwelling in the Self, all the mahatmas begin the Purusharth of dissolving the kashay of respect and insult, attain the state free of the effects and are able to experience their own eternal bliss.

The Exclusive Kirtan Bhakti of the Living Lord, Dada Bhagwan (Eng. Dadavani Nov-2023)

On the Akram path, after realizing one’s Self, one is to do bhakti of one’s own form as the Self, and that itself is the bhakti of moksha! As long as your Soul is not fully manifest, the Gnani Purush is your Soul. The Gnani Purush is the absolute Self in a human body. And when we say ‘Aseem Jai Jai Kar’ (infinite glorious salutations) of the manifest Self within Him, meaning Dada Bhagwan, that is kirtan bhakti. The very same Dada Bhagwan resides within you, and when you do ‘Aseem Jai Jai Kar,’ the kirtan bhakti of this Dada Bhagwan, then the Lord within you starts to manifest to that extent. Just by saying this one sentence, “Dada Bhagwan Na Aseem Jai Jai Kar Ho,” all the wounds within start to heal.

On the Path of Moksha, the Only Activity of Pragyna Is That of Knowing (Eng. Dadavani Oct-2023)

When One attains this Gnan, the experience, awakened awareness, and conviction of the Self begin and from that moment, Pragnyashakti continues to function as a direct representative of the Self. Pragnya is indeed a form of Gnan. It is Pragnyashakti that gets Chandubhai to do the pratikraman for these mistakes. Absolutely revered Dadashri would say, “If You want to attain moksha, then remain sincere to Pragnya.” Even if the force of the discharging karma pulls you in the opposite direction, You should put in strong effort to stay on this side [of the Self]. Our ardent, heartfelt prayer that You remain alert to the cautioning of Pragnya, devoutly follow the Agnas, attain the grace of Dada, experience the authority of the Self in this lifetime, and get Your work done for liberation.

Depression: The Window of Opportunity for the Self to Manifest (Eng. Dadavani Sep-2023)

In the current edition, we get various keys, of how to come out of depression from Dadashri’s perspective, through His Knowledge-laden speech. Through His grace, after Self-realization, the Self and the non-Self have become completely separate, but due to the multitude of circumstances and the lack of awareness, the [developing] I takes on the form of Chandubhai. While speaking about solutions for depression, Dadashri says, “Physical pain is not something that can be removed with Gnan, but mental suffering is something that can go away with [the application of] Gnan. There is no time, circumstance, or temporary state that can depress You! The ardent prayer is that may the discharge karma be cleared with equanimity by prevailing in the seat of the Pure Soul.

Through the Spiritual Effort of Pratikraman, You Will Become Free from All Karmic Accounts (Eng. Dadavani Aug-2023)

What is the meaning of pratikraman? To patch things up. Pratikraman is a true companion on the path to liberation. Wherever atikraman happens, be sure to do pratikraman there. To do pratikraman is Your Purusharth. As soon as you have some free time, you should immediately start doing pratikraman for each and every member of your family by recalling all the faults committed against them in this entire life, only then will the ‘ledger’ of attachment and abhorrence be cleansed gradually. Through the pratikraman of the Akram path, as ‘stains’ no longer form in the relative, as the Self, you will feel as light as a flower, free from burdens, and that is when liberation will be experienced over here itself.

The Gnani Teaches the Skill of Worldly Interactions for the Salvation of the Self (Eng. Dadavani July-2023)

Dadashri would always say, “The one who knows how to adjust in any circumstance is considered a human. For the one who wants to become free from this worldly life, if he adjusts and lives in harmony with everyone, then common sense arises for him.” Dadashri had various bodhakala of how to live worldly life; some of those bodhakala have been mentioned in detail in the current edition. By just having the intent that ‘No one should be hurt by me, may everyone always attain happiness from me,’ our own inner happiness will overflow. It is our ardent prayer that may all of us mahatmas understand these bodhakala of the Gnani so that our worldly interactions become ideal, and we progress in our spiritual efforts for the salvation of the Self on the path of liberation.

Dadashri’s Solutions for Tackling Suspicion (Eng. Dadavani June-2023)

In the current edition, Dadashri gives various details for the understanding of how a spiritual seeker can become free from conflicts that arise due to the fault of suspicion. There are two losses in [harboring] suspicion; one is that you undergo a state of misery, and the second is that you see the other person at fault. So before any suspicion arises, you should remain aware and uproot and throw it out through Gnan. If suspicion arises you should make file number one do exact pratikraman (confess, apologize and resolve not to repeat that mistake), so that suspicion decreases. The ardent prayer is that now by following the Gnani, we also come to know the Science through which we can bring a solution to this puzzle in the form of suspicion and progress on the path of moksha.

Suspicion: An Obstructive Cause on the Path of Liberation (Eng. Dadavani May-2023)

Suspicion arises wherever there is ‘my-ness’, or possessiveness. Whenever one starts to suffer unhappiness, that is where suspicion arises. The characteristics of suspicion are engaging in extra verification, extra investigation, to have constant thoughts such as, ‘What must it be? What if my wife is out with someone else? Suspicion can ruin infinite lifetimes! The Gnani Purush’ has Seen, Known, and experienced the entire path of moksha and has delivered it to us for the salvation of the world. The ardent prayer is that through this illumination of Knowledge, mahatmas can understand the contagious disease of suspicion and its dangers, recognize the faults that lie within, and become free from them through the understanding of Gnan and progress on the path of moksha.

The Real Purusharth to Experience the State of the Pure Soul (Eng. Dadavani April-2023)

In the current edition, in many places Pujya Dadashri has given the Agnas as the solution of entanglements mahatmas face in worldly interactions. The explanation of how to remain in the subtle jagruti when facing difficulties in following the Agnas has been provided here. ‘I am pure Soul,’ ‘I am not at all the doer,’ ‘I am only the Knower-Seer’; this jagruti is the Real Purusharth. It is on the mahatmas that are sincerely doing Purusharth to experience the state of the pure Soul; Dada’s silent grace, His blessings will always be with them. The ardent prayer is that in this era of the time cycle, through Akram Gnan mahatmas ascend the ladder of the Purusharth to become ekavatari (a state whereby one will attain final liberation after just one more life) by following the Agnas.

Under the Shelter of the Gnani, I Want to Become Free (Eng. Dadavani March-2023)

Through the grace of the absolutely revered Dada Bhagwan, the Knowledge of the Self is attained
effortlessly, without exhausting the previously charged karma. However, the belief of happiness that exists in the discharging ego of mahatmas gives rise to entanglements. This is indeed the nature of this world, one cannot live without happiness. The wrong belief prevails that ‘If I do this, I will experience at least some happiness.’ However, the repayment of that temporary happiness is misery and suffering. Therefore, it is worth making a firm resolve that‘I want to come out of this illusory belief of happiness and I want to experience the bliss of the Self. Let us set the right understanding by being under the shelter of the Gnani Purush; this life is for the purpose of becoming free. ‘

See the Positives, Remain Blissful: Part-2 (Eng. Dadavani Feb-2023)

During the unfolding of past life karma, the filled stock of karma will inevitably give rise to various kinds of ‘storms’ internally. In such cases, You should bring about a solution with steadiness, by remaining in the state of the pure Soul and by Seeing file number one. As You come more and more into the Real, you will be able to become more and more positive in the worldly interactions. The more negatively one speaks, he brings forth that many obstructions. The law is that the more one remains negative, that many negative results will come about. And the more one remains positive, that many positive results will come about. The ardent prayer is that from now on, mahatmas remain neither positive nor negative in the Real and always positive in the relative, and progress as the Self.

Married Life with the Self-Restraint of Vishay and Kashay Is Commendable (Eng. Dadavani Jan-2023)

In the current edition, some incidents in Dadashri’s married life pertaining to the unfolding of kashay and vishay have been presented here. Dadashri gives the conclusion of the experiences He has undergone on the path He has followed: If ‘we’ tell you to straight away put an end to the sexual relations with your rightful spouse, then your worldly interactions will spoil. So you should take the path of understanding, such as gathering the understanding to carry out worldly interactions free from kashay with your wife, and to destroy the belief that there is happiness in sex, and in doing so, arrive at a permanent solution. The ardent prayer is that, may all mahatmas also maintain saiyam towards kashay and vishay with mutual closure and inner satisfaction and progress as the Self.

See the Positives, Remain Blissful: Part-1 (Eng. Dadavani Dec-2022)

Absolutely revered Dadashri says that, “Our mahatmas are akin to living and awakened Gods, so you should not see anyone’s faults. If you do want to see something, then see their good attributes. Every individual has different strengths and weaknesses, but no one is useless, you should find out what they can do. Amidst one hundred negatives, you should find one positive and remain blissful.” Dadashri used to always say, “I never take a note of anyone’s intellect; I take a note of his understanding.” We pray to Dada Bhagwan, ‘Please give us the energy so we can always remain positive in life and when negatives arise, we can become aware and turn back.’ The ardent prayer is that these aphorisms can be set practically in worldly interactions and one can experience His own bliss of the Self.

Dadashri’s State of Gnan at the Time of a Relative’s Death (Eng. Dadavani Nov-2022)

In the current edition, an explanation of the fear that arose at the time of death of close family members in absolutely revered Dadashri’s life, such as His mother and father, His wife etc., as well as the state of His mind within at that time has been provided. Before attaining Gnan, He used to prevail as a witness but after attaining Gnan, He used to prevail as the Knower and Seer; He was able to see even the minutest of thoughts that arose, He was able to set the opposing Knowledge, thus enabling Him to prevail in an unaffected state. The main motive behind compiling this Dadavani is that, in the current situation, we have all at some point in our lives, lost many relatives to an untimely death. Our ardent prayer is that may this very Gnan manifest into conduct at the required time.

In Akram, Pragnya Is the Representative of the Self (Eng. Dadavani Oct-2022)

After attaining Gnan, mahatmas have assurance that ‘I am pure Soul’; the conviction of that has set in. They have experienced this to a certain extent, but they have not yet become that form. There is still separation [with the Self]. When One becomes the pure Soul completely, He becomes completely abhed. Pragnya has separated from the original Self to carry out worldly interactions, and when keval Gnan happens, the work of Pragnya comes to an end and It becomes one with the Self! In the current edition, Pragnyashakti has been explained in explicit detail. The ardent prayer is that in this life, after meeting the Gnani, mahatmas follow the five Agnas, increase the power of Pragnya and jagruti, and attain the Absolute state of the experience of the Self.

The Self Within Awakens Through the Grace of the Gnani (Eng. Dadavani Sept-2022)

In the current edition, the primary understanding of jagruti has been compiled from Dadashri’s speech, such as: What is jagruti? How did jagruti emerge? How does jagruti increase and decrease? How do jagruti and Pragnya go hand in hand? What is the difference between jagruti, judapanu Jagruti increases during unfavorable circumstances as well as bitter circumstances. Now, the jagruti will blossom by being in the vicinity of the Gnani in live satsang , through His blessings, His vidhis, seva and by following the five Agnas. Eventually, as the jagruti gradually increases to the full stage, keval Gnan takes place! The ardent prayer is that mahatmas now completely understand the five Agnas, apply them in their practical life, and commence the Purusharth of maintaining jagruti.

Syadvaad Vani: Speech That Does Not Hurt Anyone (Eng. Dadavani Aug-2022)

In the current edition, absolutely revered Dada Bhagwan has scientifically explained the established principles of syadvaad vani in religion and spirituality with a lot of depth. He would always say that all religions are correct according to their standard, but they are not equivalent. These relative religions will develop us to a certain degree, but we cannot fully develop through them. To attain Moksha, one needs to go beyond the ‘standards’, meaning one needs to devoutly study the vitaraag dharma. Syadvaad vani is the greatest remedy of all to bring an end to misery. Now, we too want to begin the purusharth of the Nine Kalams,’ as a result of which, syadvaad vani is gradually attained, naturally and spontaneously. This is the heartfelt prayer.

My Obeisance in the Past, Present, and Future, to Dada Bhagwan, the Lord Within (Eng. Dadavani July-2022)

While introducing Himself, Dadashri would always say, “The one who is visible in front of you is a Patel from the town of Bhadran, and he has a business as a contractor. Whereas I am actually a Gnani Purush. Dada Bhagwan is actually the Self that has become fully expressed within.” That which you see here is not Dada Bhagwan. The One whom you constantly keep remembering is the true Dada Bhagwan! That Dada Bhagwan resides within you, too; He Himself is the living Lord, He Himself is the absolute Self (Parmatma). By understanding the original form of Dada Bhagwan and bowing down to Him with heartfelt reverence, His energies make their way into us. The ardent prayer is that we recognize Him, bow down to Him with heartfelt reverence, and pay off the debt of infinite lifetimes.

The Importance of the Charan Vidhi After Attaining the Science of Separation (Eng. Dadavani June-2022)

In the current edition, the right understanding and importance of doing the Nishchay-Vyavahaar Charan Vidhi with applied awareness as the Self has been compiled here from Dadashri’s speech. As the Charan Vidhi is recited devotedly with the understanding of the properties of the Self, the avaran dissolve and One becomes that form [the Self]. Now, after attaining Gnan, our only goal is to experience the Real form of the Self as it is. Thus, the Charan Vidhi is something that should definitely be done. The ardent prayer is that mahatmas understand the literal meaning of each and every word in the Charan Vidhi, and then the subtle meaning, and further, as the meaning continues to be uncovered, the ultimate meaning, and in turn, experience the uninterrupted state of Samadhi.
