________________ Who Am I? the king that you are repeatedly remembering him. Do you understand? You always get the result. In the direct (living) presence, the results are multiplied and if you remember someone in his absence, the result is lesser. 59 If you want to call someone, you need the medium of a telephone. In the same manner, by saying, "With the presence of Dada Bhagwan as my witness", Dada Bhagwan becomes the medium of your communication with Shri Simandhar Swami. You are able to reach Simandhar Swami. It might take half a minute longer, but it will surely reach Him. So pray to Simandhar Swami, and say, "Oh Arihant Bhagwan only you are the true Arihant now! My complete obeisance to you." HOW LOCATION CHANGES Questioner: I understand that you cannot attain Moksha directly from here. You have to first go to Mahavideh Kshetra and then Moksha is attained from there. How does that happen? Dadashri: When people here acquire the qualities of those compatible with the qualities of the people of the Fourth Ara (Satyug - first of the four ages characterized by virtue, wisdom, happiness and morality), they will be automatically drawn to that place where the Fourth Ara exists. Conversely, if people in the Fourth Ara develop qualities akin to and suitable for the Fifth Ara, they will automatically be born where the Fifth Ara exists. That is the nature of the universe. No one has to be transported back and forth. People will reach the Tirthankars just through the development of their qualities. (In the Fourth Ara there are human beings whose thoughts, actions and speech are in congruence. Such a timecycle always prevails in Mahavideh Kshetra. In the Fifth Ara (the current time-cycle on Earth) there is no unity in people's Who Am I? thoughts, speech and actions. This means that people think one way, they say something else and they act in a completely different manner). ABSOLUTE KNOWLEDGE BY SIMPLY SEEING THE TIRTHANKAR After you get my stamp of approval (the Gnan Vidhi), the only thing that remains is your meeting a Tirthankar. A Tirthankar is higher than Dada, and if you acquire His darshan, you will become liberated. A Tirthankar who is beyond attachment, has reached the highest spiritual state and His very darshan results in liberation. A Gnani will take care of all the preliminary work, but a Tirthankar puts the final icing on the cake. 60 The most important thing is to worship Simandhar Swami, who is the present Tirthankar. He is our main focus. (12) THE AKRAM PATH CONTINUES GENERATIONS OF GNANIS TO FOLLOW I will leave behind me a generation of Gnanis. I will leave behind my heir and thereafter, the link of Gnanis will continue. So look for a living Gnani. There can be no solution without one. I am personally going to give my spiritual powers (siddhis) to some people. Do we not need somebody after me? Would the future generations not need this path? THE ONE ACCEPTED BY THE WORLD, IS THE ONE Questioner: You say that there will be thousands of people who will mourn for you when you are gone but there
