PREFACE
Man and woman have been around forever. They have met each other, married and left each other life after life. This has resulted in complex worldly interactions between the two. In previous eras called Sat, Dwapar and Treta, problems between men and women were nominal because their innate natural characteristics were simple and easily adjustable to each other. Men and women of this era are filled with problems related to innate nature, resulting in differences of opinions, clash and discord. This is the nature of this era called Kaliyug. Married couples are constantly finding themselves at odds with each other and find no harmony in their life together. So for this era, how is a married couple to find harmony and freedom from constant stress and tension? Is there any scripture or book that they can rely on? What are they to do? For these folks, the exact answers to their daily life questions and problems are available in very simple direct language of the one who has lived a married life and experienced the problems encountered, and has awakened to the true nature of the world and the Self. Such a person is a Gnani. Gnani Purush Dadashri has answered all kinds of questions relating to the interactions between a husband and a wife in the current book. This book is compiled from thousands of questions asked to the Gnani Purush over a thirty year period of his life after Self realisation, by individuals and couples who seek final answers to clash and conflict in marital life.
For the reader who pays attention to the satsang that follows in these pages, the grace of the Gnani will be showered in the form of peace and harmony within and in the home, by the answers of the Gnani which bring closure on very intricate and complex problems of married life. These answers of The Gnani, reach the heart of the reader directly and blesses him
with the divine vision of looking upon his or her life partner as a Dev or a Devi, celestial beings.
Scriptures do provide knowledge of the highest order for the seeker. However, these are merely words. In worldly life an expert of tyres can only mend a punctured tyre. Pujya Dadashri who has known the Soul as is, provides simple, easy and direct approach to the heart of the life partner by relating his own real life experience stories and words. These words are the foundations of an ideal life as husband and wife. For this era, The Akram Vignani is a unique and extraordinary gift to the world. Especially for the precise answers to the problems of daily life interactions no one else has given the answers with such clarity and effect.
Countless married men and women came with their marital life puzzles and questions to Pujya Dadashri. Sometimes openly and sometimes privately, all aspects of married life were discussed, especially in the Americas where this was done with much openness. Pujya Dadshri's answers were focused on the specific situations of the questioner, who has become an instrument in the path of salvation of all couples of the world who want to live in harmony and find real love and meaning in their precious life with each other. The Gnani appeared to scold the husband at some time and at other times he would take his sides and scold the wife. Whatever was said to the man or the woman he would say it with words that had the power to clear all puzzles for the questioner forever. The reader is requested to read the entire book in the correct context and not misuse the final words of the Gnani. The aim is to find one's own errors and correct them for the common goal of bliss and harmony.
