Aptavani-8
That would only mean one thing. There can never be two meanings ever. If one takes it another way, then that would be a different thing. Otherwise, in reality, there is only one meaning! Then it will not do, to believe copper to be gold. You would soon realize it, if you went to sell it in the market.
Questioner: How can one see chetan? What tools (sadhano) do we need, to allow us to see chetan?
Dadashri: You need that vision (drashti). You need that knowledge (Gnan).
Questioner: Where do we get that from?
Dadashri: That, you will get from someone who is out to give the gift of liberation (moksha), such as the Gnani Purush. It is from there that you attain the vision (drashti), and you will receive that knowledge (Gnan). And that only happens once in a while; once every thousands of years.
Questioner: So is the experience (anubhuti) that others have, right or wrong?
Dadashri: Experience? That experience is the same as believing copper as gold. And you get nowhere in that. Even if one were to take a hundred thousand rebirths, he would not get anywhere.
Questioner: Is there not anyone in this world who would have such an experience?
Dadashri: There can never be such a person. Those who have had the experience (anubhuti) have themselves become the Absolute Soul (Parmatma). Is there any Absolute Soul like that here?
Questioner: If by chance there is, we would not be able to recognize him, would we?
Dadashri: No, you would immediately recognize him.
