________________ Aptavani-8 115 am not speaking. That original tape-record is the speaker (vakta) and you are the listener (shrota), while I am the Knower-Seer (Gnata-Drashta), and that makes this a unique sort of interaction. That is why every solution arrives. And when there is not a single solution left, you should know that Gnan has indeed manifested. There is just inner satisfaction (samadhan); there is always constant inner satisfaction, and that is called Gnan (Knowledge). Anything that gives you inner satisfaction and closure (samadhan), in whatever state, in whatever circumstance, and whatever time, is called Gnan. So talk about whatever you want to. The Gnani Purush is considered higher than the four Veda. You can ask any question, because we see, and then 'we' speak. I do not utter a single word; that has been read from books! I say it as I see it, which is why it is helpful to others. And even then, I am not the speaker. It is a tape-record that does the talking; I am the Knower-Seer (Gnata-Drashta). Veda Is Theoretical, Science Is Practical We (the Gnani Purush) are above the four Vedas. When one has finished learning the four Veda, it is then that the Vedas say, 'this is not That. Questioner: Why are Vedas and Gnan, two separate words? Dadashri: The Vedas are based on the intellect (buddhijanya), they involve activity (kriya), and they comprise aspects of the three qualities (trigunatmak: rajas - passion and desire, sattva - goodness and awareness and tamas – unawareness and darkness). And Knowledge (Gnan) cannot be trigunatmak, it cannot be based on the intellect (buddhijanya), and by nature it can only be chetan (the Self). Gnan is always chetan.
