Aptavani-8
on account of the Atma's infinite energy of Knowledge, that knowledge of astrology, law, medicine, and all other knowledge has been discovered. The energy of Knowledge is so astounding, that it has the ability to expose all the subjects inherent in each knowledge. Therefore, the Atma is the owner of infinite energy. It has infinite energy of Knowledge (Gnan shakti), and infinite energy of the Self (virya shakti). Such a magnificent array of energies that the Parmatma displays! Patel Is the Neighbor and the Self is in the
Parmatma Questioner: What does the Atma look like? Does it appear as a brilliant light (tejasvi), or is it in some other form or shape (aakruti)?
Dadashri: It is neither with form (aakruti), nor is it formless (niraakruti). Formless and form are all man's imagination; an intellectual subject. The Atma is nothing but the Atma; it is in the form of light (prakash swaroop). It is a kind of light that needs no origin or support. That is the radiance of the Atma's light! It can even travel through mountains; that is how the Atma is! And that is the kind of Atma in which 'I' reside! That is why, should someone verbally abuse or beat this A. M. Patel (Dada's worldly name); it would not affect ‘me'. I am separate; Patel is separate! Patel is the neighbor and the one carrying out interactions in the world (vyavahar) is Patel. Atma: Sakaari (With Form) or Nirakari
(Without Form)
Questioner: It is said that God is the abode of light (tejtej na ambaar); faultless, free from ignorance and darkness; free of karma (niranjan) and shapeless (nirakari).
Dadashri: And God also has a shape (sakaari). Questioner: You say it like this and you also say it like that.
