knowledge and it is contained within the intellect (buddhi) and Gnan is that which exists without the ego. Egoless Gnan illuminates the Self as well as the non-self. It has potential to illuminate the entire universe. The ego based gnan that comes through the intellect can only illuminate the non-self. It has a limit and it is not independent. One takes the support of, 'I am a doctor' or 'I am an engineer' because of ignorance. He makes such claims out of ignorance and takes support from them. Everyone is looking for moksha but no one can find that path and thus people wander about within the four life forms. The Gnani is the only one who has the all encompassing energy to swim across the ocean of ignorance and take others with Him. He is the only one who has attained the knowledge and gives others the same.
freedom, only a Gnani Purush has it. His vitaragata is freedom. 'We'feel that 'we' are within each of you. If you know how to do darshan of the Gnani Purush, even then you can experience the freedom.
Questioner : Does doing darshan mean doing it with devotion (bhaav)?
Dadashri : No, not devotion. Devotion is already there for anyone who comes here. One should know how to do the darshan. You should know how to do exact darshan of the Gnani Purush. Such a darshan (understanding) can be done when there are no obstacles. One will then begin to experience bliss of freedom from the moment he does such a darshan.
Questioner : What is the 'visa' for moksha?
Dadashri : The visa is dependant upon whether one is partial or impartial
These (different religions) are all degrees and there are degrees within the degrees. They are all on different paths and there is only one path to moksha, which is difficult to find. All other paths are ornamental paths, they have big attractions and so people run towards them as soon as they see the attraction. There are no ornaments on this path of moksha and that is why it is difficult to find.
On a hot summers day you feel a cool breeze, you can tell there must be a block of ice close by. Similarly, here in Akram Vignan, one gets an indistinct experience of the Self. The moment one attains this experience (aspashtavedan, partial bliss of the Self), the worldly suffering ceases. Experience can exist only in one place, not two. From the moment the experience of the Self begins, it is called swasamvedan, bliss of the self. This slowly increases to spashta vedan; clear and full experience and bliss of the Self.
Knowledge of all the subject of the worlds is ego based
Great fervor of moksha due to suffering
One has desired moksha for endless lives but when he meets the bestower of moksha on a Kramic path he makes a niyanu (strong desire) for worldly things and thus he fails in his pursuit of moksha. And those who have attained Self-realization cannot make a niyanu even if they want to, because this is the Akram path. For whom does a niyanu arise? It arises in the one who is being tormented from within, as if there is a spiked weapon (shalya) within. How can he create a niyanu in the absence of suffering? Suffering means there is restlessness within. If this seat is uncomfortable, you will say, "I want to get a better seat." So you create niyanu for that. When you create a niyanu, you use all your earned punyas as a payment on the niyanu. Then you will attain whatever you have bound niyanu for.
The Lord has said there are three types of internal torments (shalya): imagined or unreal suffering arising from a wrong belief (mithyatva), fundamental suffering (nidaan), and suffering from attachment and illusion (maya). One creates a niyanu based on these three. Everyone has suffering: one can
