Dadashri: 'Namo Loye Savva Sahunam.' Loye means loka. It means our universe. So we are saying, 'I bow to all the sadhus that are in this universe'.
Questioner: Does one acquire the knowledge of Soul if one performs rituals and self-discipline (atma dasha sadhe) prescribed for the same?
Dadashri: Yes.
Questioner: So when a person performs sadhana (what it takes to attain) for the Soul, does that mean that he or she can experience the Soul?
Dadashri: Atma dasha Sadhe means to move fast towards the experience of the Self. What is the meaning of sadhana?
'Atam bhavna bhavta jeev lahe keval gyan re' Striving for the Self, one attains the perfect Self.
But first he should have the inner intent of experiencing the Soul. When I bestow the realization of the Soul upon you, that Gnan verily is Atma dasha, the state of the Self. Once awakened to the Self, such a being will continue to make progress in the domain of the Self. Some even attain the state of upaadhyaya. And some beyond that state, to the state of acharya. It is not possible to go beyond acharya state in this time cycle.
Questioner: How can we know whether one is striving for the Self?
Dadashri: We can know by looking at his attributes. If any of his attributes are conducive towards further bondage then you will know. A true aspirant is one who does sadhana only for the Soul and nothing else. None of his actions create bondage. Unfortunately, due to the current time cycle, today's sadhus cannot be like this. They are faced with ongoing

kashayas, inner negativities for true sadhana; anger, pride, deceit and greed. They leave behind their wife and children; they undergo the rituals of penance and renunciation. They earn some spiritual benefits worth say one hundred points (binding merit karma) when they do samayik and pratikraman, but if they have a disagreement with one of the disciples, they get upset and end up losing one hundred and fifty points (binding demerit karma). Therefore these sadhus bind karmas. A real sadhu will never bind karmas; his sadhana is exclusively for the Soul. Only such a sadhu can attain moksha, the siddha state.
And these worldly sadhus get angry at even the slightest provocation! So these are not sadhus but tyagis (those who renounce). They are called sadhus today but you can openly see the anger in them. In fact you can even hear it! What kind of anger is it when you can hear it?
Questioner: One that binds for countless lives (anantanubandhi).
Dadashri: Yes, the anger that is audible is anatanubandhi. The Real Nature of \'Om'
Questioner: Is Om (or Aum) the abbreviated version of the Navkar mantra?
Dadashri: Yes. If you recite it with understanding, then it is dharma dhyana - meditation that gives worldly benefits.
Questioner: Would it suffice if we only say 'Om' instead of the Navkar mantra?
Dadashri: Yes, but only if it is said with understanding. People who recite the mantra are doing so in vain. There is no meaning behind them reciting the mantra. When the Navkar mantra is said correctly, only then will conflicts in a household diminish. Are there any households here right now where there is no conflict?
