This is Akram Vignan. One's personality is apparent the moment he exits the racecourse. Such a human being radiates peace and harmony. Nobody running in the racecourse has any personality
Let others win
You have done nothing but the same thing over and over again in countless past lives. Now it will change because of the presence of Gnan, but not otherwise. This Gnan can show You (the enlightened Self) your mistakes! And You will believe and accept that the fault lies with you, whereas there (in the Kramic path) you have to ask someone else. Besides, what competence and aptitude does he have himself that he can show you? You yourself must 'feel' that the fault is indeed yours. So there is no need to win. 'We' have always maintained this. 'We' have never kept the principle of winning. I would let others win and then leave. And then I will forget about it. He too will get preoccupied with something else. Now if I were to send him away defeated, he will harbor the link (tanto) of kashaya and not let go. So just let the other person win and let him go.
Questioner: Yes, I lose and you win, my brother.'
Dadashri: You should not say this openly to him, otherwise he will think, 'Oh ho ho! He has calmed down. This is great. This is how it should be."
Questioner: What happens if you say this to him openly? Dadashri: If you tell him this openly, he will start a dispute (tante chaddhe), 'I don't want to win this way.' One man did tell me this once. I said to him, 'Sir, I sit here defeated. You have won so go home and sleep peacefully.' He told me, 'I do not want it this way.' I said to him, 'Do not try to extract any sweetness out of this situation.' This is how he enters into a dispute (tant). If you say this, he will move that way, and if you say that, he will move this way. The world is full of

objections and obstacles. Other people want to create objections and obstacles whereas we remove whatever objections and obstacles there may be.
Now you have to make Dada's Gnan shine. However, if after trying it does not shine, then so be it. If it does not, does it mean you have to be adamant and persistent about it? Our efforts should be positive. What can we do when circumstances make them negative? Do you have to be obstinate about it? But no, people continue to have tanto - a link of kashaya - wanting to defeat others. The worldly play of win or lose! 'We' believe it is a grave danger to defeat anyone. The defeated person will then make preparation to defeat you. So why not let him win and let him go? Will there be any problems then? There is no problem from your end. Then he will look for someone else to deal with. If he wins with you, he will go somewhere else and compete.
So this Akram Vignan is very good, is it not? If you do as Dada tells you, then you will become free from this 'furnace' of life. Remain 'dramatic' (superficial) from within and the worldly interactions will be solved. People will show you a 'red flag' (they will obstruct you) if you do not bring a solution in the worldly interactions. This (Akram Vignan) is a clear path so no one will show you a red flag. This Vignan is completely different. There is no deceit (kapat) here about taking anything from anyone. This fact is irrefutable. And here we do not keep differences of 'this is ours and that is not'; this too is an irrefutable fact. So are there any problems here for us?
The Course of Akram Vignan
And this is Akram Science. It is completely different; it is absolutely unique. How beneficial it is!
Questioner: What if one were to learn and then do it? Dadashri: Yes, one will attain salvation if he learns 'our'
