without a Sadguru (highest spiritual master, usually the one who liberates)?
Dadashri: Sadguru is the vehicle for moksha but until one finds Him, at least through this temple, people's suffering will be alleviated. Changes will take place in the nature of their new karma and they will not have to endure suffering. The temple is being built to alleviate the suffering of these poor people. People are trapped in constant misery. At least this way they will bind merit karma by visiting the temple and doing Swami's darshan.
Method Of True Darshan
good for us that we have only Simandhar Swami. Through Him all others will be reached.
So focus all your attention on Simandhar Swami and meditate, "Dear Lord, give me Your protection forever." Only Here Do You Achieve Through Worshipping
the Deity
I will teach you how to do real darshan of the Lord when you go to the temple.
Questioner: Yes Dada, teach us and starting tomorrow we will do the darshan the way you show us.
Dadashri: Go to the temple of the Lord and say, "Dear Vitarag Lord, You reside within me, but because I have not yet become acquainted with You, I am doing Your darshan here. The Gnani Purush, Dada Bhagwan has taught me this method and I am doing Your darshan according to his instructions. Please bestow Your grace upon me so that I may realize my true Self." Do your darshan in this way wherever you go, whichever temple you visit. From the relative perspective, all the Gods have been given different names, but in reality they are all one.
Questioner: But Dada, does Simandhar Swami sense that you are doing His work?
Dadashri: It is not like that. If you pray to Simandhar Swami, you reap benefits. If you do the same with the Siddha Bhagwan those who have already attained moksha, you do not get anything. Simandhar Swami has a physical body. You can go there in just one more lifetime and you can actually touch Him.
Questioner: Wow Dada! Will we get that chance?
Dadashri: You will have all the opportunities, why not? You are in deep praise of His name and you pay obeisance to Him. We have to go there, and that is why we say to the Lord, "Lord, although You are there and we cannot see You, but through the worship of your image idol we are doing your darshan". Here in India people have enormous idols of the tirthankaras who have departed. Even if you sit there all day, you will not achieve anything. What is the use of worshipping the deity of those who can no longer help you? It is better to worship the deity of a living tirthankara. This is the arihant Lord. He will help you.
Questioner: When we were all chanting, Dada Bhagwan Na Aseem jai Jaikar Ho , you too were chanting something. Whose name were you chanting?
Dadashri: I too was chanting the same. I too bow down
Worship Of Just This One, Is Enough
It is enough to please just one tirthankara. We only need one home to go to. Why should we enter many homes? If we reach one Lord, it is equivalent to reaching them all. Those who roam around trying to reach all the Gods get left behind. It is
