The speech that this person (A. M. Patel) is speaking is an 'original taped record' (recorded tape). Yours is an original taped record too, but you have ego and therefore you say, 'I spoke. I said this, I said that....' I do not have an ego so I do not have such a problem. The one that you see is Ambalal of Bhadran and the one sitting within is 'Dada Bhagwan'. Here 'Dada Bhagwan' has manifested within me, and within you he remains un-manifested. By sitting, with humility, near the manifested One, yours too will continue to manifest. This is a path of absolute humility (param vinaya). Money is not required here. Even service is not required here. Nothing is required here. There is no need for dravyapuja (worship of the external) here; this is the path of moksha.
'We' do not have a problem if you are disrespectful towards 'us', but you create obstacles for yourself. You are harming yourself by insulting 'us' or cursing 'us'. You need tremendous humility here. You should not utter a single wrong word here. How quietly you sit before a Tax Officer? Whereas this is a Gnani Purush: how can you say anything in front of Him? The Gnani Purush is the Parmatma in an embodied form. You can attain anything you wish from the Gnani.
Worshipping One's Own Self
Questioner: Things come even when we do not invite them. Do we have to invite sleep? It comes on its own. Similarly, will this Gnan come on its own?
Dadashri: These relative things are not worth inviting. What is worth inviting? Knowledge of your destination is worth knowing and inviting. The rest will come on its own.
Today the efforts in religion that people make are comparable to farming. They sow seeds and they reap huge harvests from it.

Questioner: There is some farming in our path too, is there not? Do we not do the arati (singing hymns with lit lamps) also?
Dadashri: How can there be any farming in our path? One himself (khud, the self) has become God (Khuda, the Self)! The arati You do is the arati of the (your own) Self; here every person is doing the arati of the Self within. The spiritual songs (pados) you sing here, is really Your own bhakti (devotional singing) offered to your own Self. Besides the Self there is nothing relative here.
Questioner: Who is doing the kirtan bhakti (devotional singing) of the Self?
Dadashri: One himself.
Questioner: What part is that?
Dadashri: It is the pragnya shakti (the liberating energy of the Self) that is doing it.
Questioner: It is not agnya (ignorance), is it?
Dadashri: No, agnya can never remain. As long as ignorance (agnya) is there, the worldly life will arise. That which gives advice related to the worldly life is the agnya shakti (the energy of ignorance).
Those who are not aware that we do kirtan bhakti (devotional chanting of our own Self), will miss out, will they not? You will not miss once You know this. The worship people do here is not A. M. Patel's worship; it is of 'Dada Bhagwan.' And that 'Dada Bhagwan' is sitting within everyone, not just in me. He is within you too and this is His worship. The arati and everything else is only His, and that is verily why everyone experiences bliss (anand). Along with you, I too bow down to 'Dada' within.
Questioner: What is the reason behind everyone
