and short.
Questioner: But what is the ultimate goal in all this?
Dadashri: The ultimate goal is to attain permanent happiness and total independence and freedom from bondage.
Questioner: What is permanent happiness? Can you describe it?
Dadashri: It is something that comes to you naturally; you do not have to make an effort for it. It remains permanently. There is no pain or misery.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE KRAMIC PATH AND THE AKRAM PATH
bestowed upon a person, he or she would set out on the path of their divine calling, whereas nowadays, if such an event were to befall on anyone, that person would make excuses not to go. But this is indeed the Akram path where it is possible to reach Moksha even while living the worldly life.
This is your ultimate passport. After this, such a passport will no longer be available, because everything will come to an end. Thereafter, only dharma (religion) will remain. Through dharma, one will gain punya (good karma) and fall into the cycle of cause and effect, i.e. having to reap the benefits of the punyas in one's next birth and so on. The chances of slipping spiritually will be greater!
THE ONE WHO MEETS ME IS QUALIFIED FOR AKRAM GNAN
Questioner: For this simple path, do we not need to have any qualifications?
Dadashri: Some people ask me, "Am I qualified to receive this Akram Gnan?" I tell them, "Your meeting me is your qualification. This meeting is due to Scientific Circumstantial Evidence. Therefore, anyone that meets me is qualified. Those who do not meet me are not qualified. What is the reason behind you meeting me? It is because of your qualification, that this meeting takes place. However, after having met me, if one does not achieve Self-Realization, then it is because one's obstructive karma prevents one from progressing further.
THE ULTIMATE GOAL Questioner: Is this a shortcut of some kind? Dadashri: Yes, this is definitely a shortcut. It is direct
Dadashri: I was asked to explain the difference between the Kramic and the Akram paths. I told them that in the Kramic path one is asked to stop doing bad deeds and do good deeds. One is essentially told to do something in the Kramic path. You are told to get rid of your weaknesses of anger, pride, lust and greed, and to turn towards good things. Is that not what you have come across so far? Akram, on the other hand, means you do not have to do anything. Nothing has to be done. Even when someone picks your pocket, according to Akram science, the understanding is that "He has not picked the pocket, and it is not my pocket', whereas according to the Kramic path, the culprit would be blamed and the belief would be 'It is my pocket that he picked'.
Akram Vignan is like a lottery. When you win a lottery, was there any effort on your part? So many people had purchased lottery tickets, yet you were the winner. Similarly, this Akram Vignan gives Moksha right away, like ready cash.
