as Bhagwan (God)?
Dadashri: I myself, am not God. I too bow to the Lord, to Dada Bhagwan within me. I am at the level of three hundred and fifty six degrees of spiritual achievement, whereas Dada Bhagwan is at three hundred and sixty degrees; He is absolute. I lack the four degrees and therefore I too bow down to Dada Bhagwan.
Questioner: Why do you do that?
Dadashri: It is because I want to attain the remaining four degrees. I will have to complete them, will I not? I failed by four degrees. Do I have a choice but to pass them?
Questioner: Do you have a desire to become Bhagwan?
Dadashri: I find it burdensome to become Bhagwan. I am a laghutam purush, the most humble of the humble. There is no one in this world humbler than myself. Therefore I feel it burdensome to be called a Bhagwan. On the contrary I feel awkward.
Dadashri: It is used for Dada Bhagwan, not for me. I am a Gnani Purush
Questioner: Which Bhagwan?
Dadashri: Dada Bhagwan, the One who is the Lord of the fourteen worlds. He is within you too but is not yet manifest and here, within me, he is fully manifest and is ready to give rewards. Your work can be accomplished if you were to take His name even once. But you have to invoke Him with an understanding and then salvation is yours. His name will even remove any worldly obstacle you may have. But you must not have worldly aim because there will be no end to it if you become greedy. For worldly difficulties use His name sparingly. Do you understand who Dada Bhagwan is?
What is The Real Nature of Dada Bhagwan? Questioner: What is the real nature of Dada Bhagwan?
Dadashri: He is the one who has no attachment, no ego and no intellect. He is Dada Bhagwan
The Power Of The Words Of The Gnani Purush
The Gnani Purush fell short by four degrees in attaining Keval Gnan, absolute knowledge, but he has gone above and beyond attaining the knowledge of the Soul. He has arisen above the knowledge of the Self but has not reached the final destination of full enlightenment. The world cannot know about anything that is seen and known of this in-between stage of the Gnani. People have no knowledge of a single sentence the Gnani utters; they have no clue about it. You understand whatever I say through your intellect - it is not as if what I say is incomprehensible. The intellect is a light; it is through the power of this light that you are able to comprehend what is
Questioner: If you do not want to become God, then why do you want to make the effort to complete the four degrees?
Dadashri: It is because I want to attain final moksha. What do I want by becoming a God? God is anyone who possesses godlike attributes. Such people become God. God is an adjective. Whoever possesses such qualities, people will refer to him as God. The Lord of The Fourteen Worlds Has Manifest Here
Questioner: For whom is the word 'Dada Bhagwan' used for?
