To believe 'I know' after reading the scriptures boosts the ego; and then, where will one go? If he meets the Gnani Purush (One enlightened in the knowledge of the Soul and the universe, who is free from ego and all worldly attachments and enlightens others), he attains salvation.
Who is the one that is in bondage? It is the ego, and that is the one that needs to be liberated. The Self is already free. Because of ignorance one believes, 'I am bound', and after attaining Gnan he becomes free! Then the ego is gone. Once the ego is gone the wrong belief, 'I am doing, he is doing, they are doing', goes away!
If the relative self (prakruti) is doing something crooked, You correct it from within. If the relative self gets angry, you do pratikraman (the process of reversal from hurt caused through mind, speech and body, by recalling it, repenting and resolving never to repeat it. This is to be done in the precise manner as shown by Dadashri) within. Once you correct it within, no matter what the prakruti does, You are not responsible for it. The relative self is absolutely separate, and You are to keep it separate. You are not to get involved in the troubles of the nonSelf. The relative self keeps opinions and You are to become free of opinions.
What is the way of the Vitarags (absolutely enlightened Ones)? Simply saying, 'They are wrong, they are making mistakes', causes bondage! There, one must not give any opinion whatsoever. Your Vision must not be spoilt at all!
In the path of Akram Vignan (the spiritual Science of the stepless path to Self-realization) all liberties are allowed. Dadashri gives a guarantee that there is no bondage of karma anywhere, with the exception of one danger zone and that is the entry into sexuality that is not rightfully yours.
There is a vast difference between abhorrence (dwesh)

and dislike (abhaav). Dislike is in the mind. The Gnani too has likes and dislikes! And abhorrence is egoism. Dislike is the result of opinions rendered in the past life, and it leaves with pratikraman.
Mind should not to be suppressed. One is to pacify it by way of explanations and conciliation.
Yamraja (God of death) too becomes subservient to saiyami (the one who has conquered all anger, pride, deceit and greed). This means he is not afraid of even death!
When something comes in memory, it is due to parigraha (acquisitiveness). To move away from the Self is parigraha.
Self-realization is attained through Akram Vignan, which in turn dissipates anger-pride-deceit-greed! One's worldly interactions become pure and upon seeing this, the world is filled with wonder!!! One can see such worldly interaction with revered Dadashri. One learns only by seeing this interaction.
Absolute humility (param vinaya) arises the instant Selfrealization is attained! Final liberation is through absolute humility and not from actions (kriya). There is humility in the temples. Absolute humility is attained from the Gnani, and this in turn yields two rewards: the highest quality of worldly life (abhyudaya) and the best progress on the path of liberation (aanushangik)!
You should not talk negatively about the one to whom you are subservient with humility.
The Gnani only looks at the intent, not the actions.
If one person kills another, the first stage application of Gnan is that this is being done by the relative self, it was due to an account of karma between the two involved, or that it was due to the coming together of scientific circumstantial evidences, etc. However, the ultimate stage of Gnan is that the Self never dies, only the perishable things continue to perish. Therefore, the
