Aptavani-2
529 out: it will make the world speechless. It has been uncovered as it is, otherwise there would be hyperactivity and restlessness here too and Dada would not let you drink even a cup of tea in peace. He will say, "Get up, haven't you finished drinking your tea yet? Come and do bhajan, let's have some action!" But there is no agitation or any other such thing here. There is no restlessness in the Self; it is the Supreme Self. Do you think that the Self would be crazy like this? If we become like the Self, then we will acquire it.
Now how can my talks appeal to everyone? I am trying to get rid of the word 'pramaad' (laziness) once and for all. Here people get rid of the lazy self and move towards the agitated and the restless one. In this back and forth, when will you attain the real Self? You already had a lazy atma, and then you move towards a fidgety one. At least the lazy atma was better; it would not hurl 'rocks' at anyone. With this hyperactive atma, you even shove people sometimes. Lazy people do not have such problems; those poor guys will walk slowly. This does not mean that 'we' like lazy people, but why do you have so much abhorrence towards laziness and such attachment for the hyperactive? You want to get rid of raag-dwesh and yet you do raag-dwesh, how can that be acceptable? How can we handle people who would not let us drink a cup of tea in peace? They will shove and prod us even before we pour milk in our tea. That is how strict the Kramic path is. Krupaludev told Prabhushri, "Go and learn Sanskrit. "Prabhushri said, "I am 46 year old. How can I learn at this age and when will I be able to master it? Instead, show me another way." So Krupaludev replied, "Queen Victoria is 76 year old and she is learning many different languages. At the age of 76 she is learning our language so why would you not be able to master your own mother language? Go and learn it." Prabhushri had to learn Sanskrit because of the instruction from Krupaludev. Prabhushri used to say, "I used to hold on to a pole and keep cramming, "Gum

Aptavani-2 gachhari means to go, and gum gachhati means to go" so that I would not fall asleep, so that laziness would not set in. Now tell me, how can one ever make progress this way? He was given twenty-two large books and was told, "Keep them with you all the time and whenever you think about it, open them and look into them." Such is the Kramic path. Krupaludev was a Gnani Purush and his path is a correct path too. He was a true Gnani of these bad times (dusham kaad). But in fact how grueling and painstaking the Kramic path is! This Akram path is now available and it is so easy, and yet people discard it as if it is nothing. So the right time is here. Here every minute is precious. A time will come when one will not get to do 'Dada's' darshan for even a minute. When the world awakens to this "living' science is it just going to ignore it?
There are two types of path to moksha: one path is taken by people who are quick and clever and the other by the easy going people who enjoy things on the way. There are more of the former than the latter in this world. Truly we cannot call these (followers of Akram Path) pleasure-seekers but people use words without any understanding. This Akram path is completely different. There is no inner worldly attachment in this path; here there is the pleasure of the relaxed, tension free pace for sure, but there is no attachment (moha) to the worldly life. This is the difference between ours and the path of the 'clever' and hyper people. Both the paths are different. Those who are indulgent and pleasure seekers on this path start late but find a quick shortcut to make it up. They achieve a lot without much effort. Therefore, our 'elevator path' is different. It has blossomed in every way. That is why Kavi says:
"Gnani vikram toch, aishwarya hahakar." "Gnani at the supreme peak is spreading his divine energies
to all around who are completely mesmerized by it. This is the Akram Gnani. He seats victorious at the top
