________________ Editorial Each human being is involved in an incessant interaction of speech from the moment he wakes up. Some even talk in their sleep. There are two outcomes of speech interactions: sweet and bitter. Sweet interactions are easily swallowed but not the bitter ones. The Gnanis are able to show us ways to accept both the bitter and sweet with equanimity. Gnani Purush Dadashri has given us countless solutions to situations that arise in this day and age because of our speech. Dadashri has been asked countless questions on all kinds of topics ranging from the most obvious to the most profound and the simple and straight forward to ridiculous ones. He has answered them on the spur of the moment with complete satisfaction for the questioner. One can see and experience in his speech the unison of love, compassion and the ultimate truth. Dadashri used to say with love, to all who came to him, *Ask, ask and get all your puzzles solved. Ask anything and get your work done. If you do not understand, ask again and again without hesitation. If you do not understand it is not your mistake. It is the inadequacy of the person giving the answers.' speech and conduct; indeed the presence of an Enlightened One. These people will also, without fail, learn to recognize that which is not authentic. In this publication, the reader will find solutions to problems that are created through interactions of speech and will find ways to improve their speech if it is offensive and hurtful. The reader will also be enlightened about the ensuing consequences of merely having a single negative thought about anyone. It will give the reader deep insights into the many ways in which one can be free from conflicts that arise in and outside of his home, in all worldly relationships. Dadashri gives us tremendous insight into the fundamental and subtle principles that govern speech. He gives us great examples and practical solutions of how our interaction with our family and our peers through our speech can be made pure so that it hurts no one. The reader will feel Dadashri is talking about his own life with some of the illustrations Dadashri gives. His solutions reach the heart directly and lead to liberation. It is extremely difficult to recognize a Gnani Purush. Expertise and skills are required in order to recognize a real diamond; in the same way, a spiritual eye is necessary to recognize the Enlightened One, Gnani Purush Dadashri. Dadashri's speech which was uttered only for the salvation of others and nothing else, will continue to give light on the path of liberation for generations to come. Such is the power behind the speech of a Gnani. Such is the power in the speech of a Gnani that in a matter of just one hour, he bestows the experience of the Self upon the seeker. -Dr. Niruben Amin It would constitute deceit if, someone were to dismiss any question, claiming that the answer was too subtle for anyone to understand. People all too often dismiss questions to which they have no answers, by placing the blame on the seeker's inability to understand. If a person has heard or read any of Dadashri's speech in detail, then he or she would, without fail, have a true representation of the Gnani who has absolute unity of the mind,
