Autobiography of Gnani Purursh
Autobiography of Gnani Purursh
On these days there are no external interactions with anyone and therefore I, the Gnani Purush become one with Dada Bhagwan within and consequently am in an absolute state. You can reap tremendous benefit by doing darshan of this state. That is why it is very important to do Dada's darshan on these days.
The Eleventh Wonder : Akram Vignan Up to the time of Lord Mahavir there were ten wonders in this world and this Akram Vignan is the eleventh wonder. The Gnani Purush remains a vitarag (completely detached) even though he is conducting business in the world. Is it indeed a wonder that you are able to do such a darshan. Just look at my topi (hat) and my coat! Should a Gnani even have a need for these? Why does he have an attachment to worldly things? The One who has absolutely no desire for any material things, is trapped in worldly things. He is in the final stages of becoming absolutely enlightened. It must be people's misfortune that the Gnani is in mundane worldly attire and not in the clothes of a sadhu. Otherwise millions of people would have been blessed if his attire were that of a renunciate. Alas! People's merit karma fall short, as they fail to recognize me as a Gnani Purush.
Check with the original book, but I believe Dada does not mention Akram Vignan, rather, he is referring to the expression of the Lord within...our version:
Up to the time of Lord Mahavir, there were ten wonders in this world and this is the eleventh wonder.
Let This Bliss Be Known To The World
Questioner: What inspired you to spread this new religion?
Dadashri: The inspiration to spread religion comes naturally. I felt the desire to make others experience the same bliss that I experience. This is the inspiration.
People ask me how I will be able to fulfill the commitment that I have taken for the salvation of the world, now that I am getting old and when I take so long to finish even a cup tea in the morning. I do not have to do the work on a gross or a physical level. It is all occurring at a subtle level. The external events are merely a drama. I just have to support them.
Gnani's Compassion Is A Thing To Behold
Questioner: As a vitarag, what is your relation with worldly interaction?
Dadashri: That of a Vitarag bhaav, an inner intent without any attachment. The inner intent of salvation of the entire world is the vitarag bhhav. There is no other relation. The one you are questioning now is not vitarag at the moment. I am a meddlesome vitarag; meddlesome as far as wanting others to be free. The real vitarags do not get involved with anything. They merely give darshan to people. They do not have any dealings or relation with people, none whatsoever.
Questioner: But when the vitarags associate with people, is it to discharge and be done with their own karma?
Dadashri: They do so to clear their own karmic accounts from past life, not for others. They have no other inner intentions. My only intention is that people attain liberation, the way I have. The real vitarags are not like this. They have no inner intents or wishes. They are absolutely unattached. Where as, I do have this one intent. That is why I get up early in the moming and start this school of satsang, which lasts till eleven
