being said; it is this light that gives credence to what is being said. This however, will not be remembered when needed. Now because it is the Gnani Purush who is uttering the words and there is power in the spoken words of a Gnani Purush, these words will manifest at the right time. The power of the spoken word is defined by its presence when the need arises in situations of conflict and difficulty.
Absolute Understanding: Absolute Knowledge
I am a person who has failed to acquire Absolute Knowledge.
Questioner: What are the four degrees that you speak of?
Dadashri: Whatever you see; the attachment to worldly things in my conduct that you see. It is irrelevant that I am really unattached from within. These degrees are automatically deducted when others see imperfection in me. I have seen the universe as it is, understood, but not known and experienced it as is needed in absolute enlightenment.
Questioner: How can one tell the difference between understanding and experience?
Dadashri: It has come into my vision and understanding but not yet in my knowledge and experience. It would have been total enlightenment had it come into my experience and knowledge. But because it is only in my understanding, it is called absolute understanding or darshan.
Questioner: I do not understand what you mean when you say that you came to understand it but you do not know and experience it
Dadashri: What is this world? How did it come about? How did the mind arise? Who is the father' and who is the 'mother of the mind? What is intellect? What is ego? What is chit? Why are people born? Who runs this world? Does God or someone else run this world? Who are you? Who am I?, all this has come into my exact understanding. And furthermore with my divine inner vision I see the Soul everywhere, in every creature. All this has come in my understanding and that is why it is called keval darshan, absolute understanding.
It is The Taped Record That Speaks
Dadashri: Who is talking to you? Who is doing the talking?
Questioner: I do not know that.
Dadashri: I, the Self am not talking to you. I am the Self. I am just observing you. I remain in my place as an observer and this speech is a 'tape record' (speech recorded in the past life). It is a mechanical record that can be recorded again.
The person you see in front of you is a Patel of Bhadaran and the speech that is flowing from him is a tape record. It is the original tape record. I live in unity with Dada Bhagwan who has manifest within me but sometimes I become one with Ambalal Patel. I have to maintain relations with both the sides. I have to be with Ambalal for my worldly interactions, otherwise I remain one with Dada Bhagwan. On The Day of Gurupunam: Full Darshan Of The
Gnani Purush There are three very auspicious days: The Indian New Year Day, Janmajayanti (birthday of the Gnani) and Gurupumima.
