Aptavani-5
asked to whom I should give this knowledge of Akram Vignan? The requirement was that one needed thirty-three percent to pass but no one had the qualification above three percent! The Lord said to give it to those with three percent. Even then I started to give it to those below par, i.e. to those with zero percent. Today it is given to those with a minus (negative) percentage!
Questioner: What is this scientific process that gives us darshan of Dada Bhagwan (the Self) and shows us the way at the mere listening and recitation in the Gnan Vidhi?
of the Quran is called gnani. That is why the word Gnan Avatar is used. No one except the Gnani Purush can write Gnan Avatar. That is the only difference.
Questioner: Can Krupadudev Shrimad Rajchandra be called a Gnan Avatar?
Dadashri: Yes, he was a Gnan Avatar.
Questioner: What is the difference between Amagnani and Kevalgnani?
Dadashri: It is all natural (swabhavik). In that the pure Chetan (shuddha Chetan, the Self) is silent. This light is silent; however in that light, can one not get all his work done? One gets the benefit of the light.
Questioner: The moment we think about Dada, Dada is present. Is that external action due to the Self (shuddha Chetan)!
Dadashri: It is not due to the support; it is a natural occurrence. It is natural for the subtle body (sookshma sharira) within to be pulled-attracted.
Questioner: But is it not a part of the pudgal (the nonSelf complex)?
Dadashri: Everything is considered the pudgal. The world mistakenly believes it to be the Chetan (the Self), but in reality there is no Chetan (Self) in it at all. No one has reached the level of the Chetan (the Self), not even close to its shadow.
Questioner: What is the difference between the Gnani and Gnan Avatar (the incarnation of Gnan)?
Dadashri: There is no difference. The Self is the absolute Self (kevalgnan swaroop), but there is a difference as far as the satta (realm) is concerned. The realm does not manifest fully, due to veils of ignorance. The total realm that manifests is kevalgnan. The satta is the same for all Souls. The problem is of the avaran (veils of karmas). For example, some need thick glasses, and some else do not. Will that not make a difference? It is like that.
Questioner: Will there be a Yuga Purush (a Gnani Purush, man of the era, the One who liberates millions) after you?
Dadashri: Of course! How will this world run without a Yuga Purush? Nature has a need for one; we do not have to keep a need for one. You do not even have to look at the horoscope. Everything happens according to the laws of nature. You just have to be prepared. Keep your 'bags' ready so that you can jump on the train (of moksha) when it arrives!
Questioner: How will we know whether it is the right train or the wrong one?
Dadashri: You should go home when such a doubt arises. Even God does not have a place for anyone who has doubts or suspicions. With these trains you should not be too concerned or critical about the right or the wrong. The
Dadashri: There is not much difference but it is like this: people who are well versed in scriptures are also referred to as 'gnanis'. These can be scriptures of any kind. Even the knower
