Dadashri: He has to be a Gnani Purush but it is not enough to just give you the experience of the Self (Atma). The Gnani Purush will give you answers to questions such as: "How does the world run?", "Who am I?", "What is all this?" It is possible to get your work done only when he gives such explanations. But, otherwise, if you simply follow books, the books will help you but they are not the main thing. They are just ordinary causes; they are not extraordinary causes. What is an extraordinary and unique cause? The Gnani Purush!
Who Can Perform the Surrender Ceremony?
Questioner: Regarding the surrender ceremony (arpan vidhi) that we perform before taking the Gnan, would it not be wrong to do the surrender ceremony again if we have previously surrendered to another guru?
Dadashri: A guru does not perform the surrender ceremony (arpan vidhi). What all should we surrender? Everything except the Soul. So no one surrenders everything, right? It cannot even be done, and none of the gurus would say that. They would only show you the path. They would work as a guide. I am not a guru, I am a Gnani Purush, and one has to attain the vision of the fully manifested Soul. You do not surrender to me, you surrender to the fully manifested Soul within.
How Can One Experience the Self?
Questioner: How can one attain the knowledge of "I am the Self"? How can one experience that?
Dadashri: 'We' (Gnani Purush) are sitting here to give you that experience. Here, when 'we' give you Gnan, 'we' separate the Self and the non-Self for you and then send you home.
