Title
Thousands of spiritual seekers have taken advantage of this opportunity and are established in the experience of pure Soul while carrying out their worldly duties. They experience freedom, here and now while living their daily life.
Powerful words in scriptures help the seeker in increasing their desire for liberation and thus they represent the path. The knowledge of the Self is the final goal of all seekers. Without the knowledge of the Self there is no liberation. This knowledge of the Self (Atmagnan) does not exist in books. It exists in the heart of a Gnani. Hence, the knowledge of the Self can only be acquired by meeting a Gnani. Through the scientific approach of the Akram Vignan, even today one can attain Atma Gnan, but it can only occur by meeting a living Atma Gnani and receiving the Atma Gnan (Knowledge of The Self). Only a lit candle can light another candle!
WORD ABOUT TRANSLATION
Dadashri generally spoke in Gujarati. He spoke in an extremely simple, colloquial manner. The same style has been adopted while translating. It is difficult to translate word to word from Gujarati to English, without losing the precise meaning of what Dadashri was saying, at the same time keeping the text smoothly flowing and readable in the English language.
Where necessary the original Gujarati words have been retained and appear in italics. To facilitate smooth reading and comprehension, at certain places the English meaning has been given immediately after
Gujarati word in brackets. The meaning of the words also appear in the glossary at the end of the book.
Dadashri's original sentences and phrases in English have been preserved and appear in bold fonts.
A conscious effort has been made to translate without losing Dadashri's message. It is our humble prayer to Dadashri to guide the readers so that they may grasp the precise meaning and message of Akram Vignan.
