________________
Special note to the reader
+ To facilitate reading and comprehension, the reader is
asked to familiarize himself with some changes to key words. Capitalized words and lowercase words are used to denote two different states of being. Here are some
examples: + The word Self, with “S’, refers to the awakened Self or
Soul, which is separate from the worldly soul (non awakened self), written with “s'. The term Shuddhatma (pure Soul) is used for the awakened Self, after the Gnan Vidhi given by the Gnani Purush. Similarly, any word in the middle of a sentence, with an initial capital or words in inverted commas, e.g. "You', ‘Your', at the beginning of a sentence, refers to the awakened Self or Pragnya. This is an important distinction for the correct understanding of the difference between the awakened Self or the Self and the non-awakened self or
the worldly self. + Wherever the name 'Chandubhai’ is mentioned, the
reader should substitute it with his or her name.
+
Dadashri uses the term “We', 'us' or 'our' - meaning the Gnani Purush.
