Translator Note
Ambalal M. Patel, Gnani Purush (popularly known as Dada) always used to say it is not possible to translate his speech - Science of Soul into English, because some meaning would be lost. He stressed that one needs to learn Gujarati Language to understand all facets of this Science.
Despite this DADA did give his blessings to translate in English and other languages. With the popularity of this Science of Soul increasing amongst non Gujarati speaking people it is evident that translation in English is a necessity.
In this attempt, we have tried to capture the essence of DADASHRI's teachings. Many people have contributed to this effort and we thank all of them.
This is an elementary introduction to the vast treasures of the Absolute Scientist. It is our sincere prayer to Him to guide the readers to understand the exact meaning of the knowledge that DADA passed on to all of us.
We would appreciate your input and suggestions for future editions of this book.
