never know how to sing.” You create an obstacle for yourself by simply saying that. And if you say, “Sure, I know how to sing!” then the obstacle will disappear. You do not have to go anywhere to learn things; you have come here already knowing them.
Questioner: Would one know how to sing if he says, “I know how to sing”?
Dadashri: No. Not “I know how to sing,” but in your mind, you should have a strong conviction, "Why not, why should I not know how to sing?”
So many people say, “How can there be such a thing as Akram Gnan? How is it possible to attain moksha in just an hour?” The moment you say that, you create obstacles. You can never tell what is possible in this world, so it is not worth using your intellect (buddhi) to assess it, because it has clearly happened and that is (ability to attain Gnan within one hour) a fact. These obstacles prevail particularly for Atmavignan (science of the Self; spiritual science): the very last ‘station'.
Those who have managed to remove their obstacles for the paroksh (indirect), they have the obstacles for the pratyaksh (direct). Which is why they only come across the paroksh. Generally, obstacles for the pratyaksh are immense, however, if they are destroyed, the reward is an end to the wandering of life after life
Questioner: How can one destroy Gnanantaray and darshanantaray?
Dadashri: The Gnani Purush can destroy them for you. He can destroy ignorance of the Self, as well as remove the obstacles for you. But there are certain obstacles that even Gnani cannot remove.
Questioner: What are those obstacles? Dadashri: Wherever there is a violation of humility
