Aptavani 9
NOTE ABOUT THIS TRANSLATION
Gnani Purush, Ambalal M. Patel, also popularly known as Dadashri or Dada, or Dadaji, said it would be best to learn Gujarati to understand in depth, his satsang about the Science of Self-realization and the art of worldly interaction. Dadashri did however grant his blessings to convey his teachings to the world, through translations in English and other languages.
This is a humble attempt to present to the world the essence of the teachings of Dadashri, the Gnani Purush. A lot of care has been taken to preserve the tone and message of the satsang. This is not a literal translation of his words. Many individuals have worked diligently for this work and we are very grateful to them all and thank them deeply.
In this translation capital 'Y' in 'You' or 'S' in 'Self' refers to the awakened Self or the real Self. For a glossary of the terms, please refer to: www.dadashri.org/glossary.html. In the current Aptavani the meanings of the unique words in Gujarati are given adjacent to the words in English for ease of comprehension for the reader. Also many times Dadashri uses the term 'I' and 'we' depending upon whether it was before or after the spontaneous Self realization in 1958. Thus when He says, 'We remain as the Self', He is referring to the Gnani Purush and the fully enlightened Self, the Lord within.
This Aptavani 9 which is part of the vast treasure of Dadashri's knowledge and satsang, spirtual question and aswer session, is being offered
