presence of the twenty-four tirthankaras. The One with an Honest Heart Found The Real Thing
Questioner: How did Akram Gnan manifest within you? Did it occur naturally by itself or did you have to meditate for
Dadashri: It is the balance and extract of many previous lives. As a result of them all, this Akram Gnan has manifested naturally.
Questioner: This occurred but naturally to you, but how?
Dadashri: I have to say 'but natural' for people to understand but it occurred as a result of many scientific circumstantial evidences coming together.

He did not emphasize it. And it is with emphasis and assurance that I am saying that the worldly life does not obstruct liberation. Akram Vignan Is The Result Of Many Lives of

Gnanakshepakvant is a state wherein a person has continuous thoughts related to the Soul and it never breaks. Such was the continuity of thoughts I had - it would continue for days and days. I checked about this state in the scriptures and then I understood that what I was experiencing was the state of gnanakshepakavant.
Who do you worship? Questioner: People come to do your darshan Dada, but whom do you worship? Which God does Dada worship?
Dadashri: I worship the Lord, Dada Bhagwan that has manifested within me.
T' and 'Dada Bhagwan' Are Not the Same Questioner: Why do you allow yourself to be addressed
