________________ Aptavani-5 129 130 Aptavani-5 have the knowledge of this is wrong'? It is when the wrongdoing through the mind, speech and body) naturally will fall off. This falling off and the gnan happen at the same time. Until then the opinion 'it should not be this way' is established in your understanding anyway. This should not be so' is our keval darshan (absolute understanding, absolute vision). Then it will result in kevalgnan (absolute knowledge). Questioner: After attaining the understanding (darshan), how long does it take for it to result in Gnan (experience, anubhav)? of the Parmatma (the Supreme Self). Scriptural knowledge is shushka-gnan; it is infertile knowledge; it will not produce any results. One makes the same amount of effort and yet it will not yield any fruits! The entire human birth goes to waste. So you will have to understand everything, will you not? Here You do not have to do anything except simply understand. There is no liberation (moksha) where you have to do something. The path of liberation only lies where there is understanding (samaj, darshan). The day when the understanding (samaj) results in the Gnan experience (anubhav) as the Self, on that day You will no longer have it (acquisitiveness, renunciation). You do not have to do anything. This is the path of moksha and in this path You do not have any right to renounce (tyaag) or acquire (grahan). Those who have the right to tyaag-grahan are those who are on the path of doing good deeds and renouncing bad ones (shubha-ashubha). That is the path of illusion (bhranti). This path is a clear path of liberation (moksha). When the understanding (samaj) results in your conduct (varian), that very understanding results in Gnan (anubhav). Whatever understanding Dada has given You will continue to give you experience (anubhav). In this manner the occurring of the experiential Gnan (anubhavgnan) will result in the Gnan. On that day ignorance (agnan) will no longer remain. The path of moksha is easy (sahelo), straightforward (sarad) and attainable (sugam). It is the path of equanimity (sambhavi). It is such that no effort is needed in its progression. Therefore, get your work done because this opportunity is not likely to come again for infinite lifetimes. Gnan is not something that can be given to others. Gnan arises out of the understanding (samaj) that I give you. When will you understand that Gnan has manifested? When will you Dadashri: As the understanding matures and establishes, the Gnan develops that much within. You do not have to worry as to when that will happen. The understanding will automatically result in Gnan; 'it' (ignorance) will leave on its own. Therefore, all You have to do is here keep understanding. The Gnan verily is doing the work. In that you do not have to do anything. Gnan continues to work even while you are asleep, when you are awake and even in your dreams. For example, if you want to go to Delhi, the first thing you need to understand is how to get there, then you will reach Delhi, without fail. Understanding is like a seed and Gnan is like a tree. All you need to do is provide the water; meaning the intent (bhaav). Questioner: When it comes into vartan (practice), is that considered as charitra (conduct)? Dadashri: It is conduct but it is right conduct (samyak charitra). Absolute conduct (keval charitra) can only be attained done by a Kevalgnani (absolutely enlightened) and a Gnani Purush. Questioner: What is the difference between right conduct (samyak charitra) and absolute conduct (keval charitra)?
