Aptavani-5
the water verily goes into your own 'farm' (Self, swa-kshetra), and not in someone else's, it does not go in par-kshetra (the non-Self).
Questioner: It does not come in memory for fifteen days, and then it does. Is that parigraha?
Dadashri: Yes. That 'ghost' is chasing you. Do all the 'ghosts' of the world come to chase and possess you? You are only possessed by your ghosts. They are only about certain things.
Attaining the knowledge of the Self
Questioner: Is Gnan the solution for getting rid of anger, pride, deceit and greed? Is it possible to attain such a Gnan in this life?
Dadashri: Real Gnan (knowledge) is that which gets rid of your anger, pride, deceit and greed. That is called Gnan.
Questioner: How can one attain that?
Dadashri: That is the very Gnan I give you here. All these people's anger, pride, deceit and greed are gone.
Questioner: Is it so easy to become simple and straight (sarad) in the heart?
Dadashri: Whether that happens or not depends on one's karmic account from the past life. That is a development of that individual; the more simple and straight (sarad) he becomes the better. But all that is applicable in the Kramic path. In the Kramic path a simple and a straightforward man will attain religion (dharma), however even after a million lifetimes there is no telling when he will attain moksha. And this Science is Akram. This is the path of Gnan, which can bring liberation for a person in just one lifetime. If you follow this Gnan according to My Agnas, with devotion and dedication
(aradhana), then You will be in constant samadhi (a state free from any effects of mental, physical or externally induced pain). This will be the case even for a busy doctor like yourself. Nothing will affect or obstruct you. This is a very phenomenal science. That is why Kaviraj has written:
*That which has not happened in a million years has happened here.
Questioner: Is surrendering (sharanagati) required here?
Dadashri: No. Here there is no such thing as surrendering. There is oneness (abhedta) here. I do not feel any separation with anyone here or with anyone else in the rest of the world.
Questioner: Your state is very high and mine is very low.
Dadashri: It is not like that. You are of my level. You simply have to keep seeing me and you will become like me. There is no other way. You become like the one you see.
Questioner: Do we not need purity in worldly interactions (vyavahar)?
Dadashri: There should be so much purity that your worldly interactions would be called 'deal'. It should be the kind one has never seen before. 'Our' interaction is of very high quality.
That is how this science is. The Self that I show' You (in the Gnan Vidhi) is the Self of absolute knowledge (kevalgnan), and the Self people give in the world is the knowledge of the Self from the scriptures.
Questioner: How can a person digest this Gnan without prior qualifications, or earning a right to it?
Dadashri: There is no need for any qualifications or rights. This is not based on conduct. What is external conduct all about? The whole world places emphasis on external
