________________ For all those who are in search of Self-realization, and for all those who are deeply curious, innumerable questions related to the Atma and to the universe, have been compounded in this book. The wise aspirant will find the Eternal, elucidated for him in his own language. He will indeed experience the Eternal as it is. However, in order for him to come into this Vision and experience, he requires a Gnani. Only the living Gnani, – who resides in the absolute state of the Self - Dadashri, can give you this very experience of the Atma. As it is, the profound discussions about Atmagnan (Selfknowledge) or Keval Gnan (Absolute Knowledge) have been fruitless when it comes to illuminating a single ray of the light of one's own Atma. Unless you encounter a living Gnani, and unless you receive the Gnani's Gnan, you will only dwell in words. The living Gnani's single word, on the other hand, will pierce your heart, removing layers of infinite veils of dosh (faults) that have been, shrouding the supreme light of the Absolute Soul (Parmatma) that illuminates the entire universe. So that now, that same light shines within You. Only those who have known this incomparable Gnani's unparalleled siddhi (energy that accomplishes the ultimate) have relished its beauty. Otherwise, how would the light of the Atma, which cannot be described with words; be illuminated with words? The compassionate Dadashri had often said, "The person you see before you is not Dada Bhagwan. This is A. M. Patel. Dada Bhagwan is He that has manifested within. He (Dada Bhagwan) is the Lord of the fourteen worlds! You may ask from Him anything that you want. But you do not even know how to fill that tender (request)!' And that is a fact! Rather than asking for the domain of the whole universe, which is in His possession, the unfortunate seeker fills out a tender for a piece of plot (material things) instead. If at the time, one could have read the Gnani's heart, it would have been overflowing with infinite compassion! 13Page Navigation
