The coming of the Messiah.

Excerpt Details
ALL that I have to say to thee, my venerable friend Christophilus, reduces itself to the serious and formal examination of one single point; which, in the present constitution or system of the church and the world, appears to me of the highest importance; viz. Whether the ideas which we entertain concerning the coming of Messiah, that essential and fundamental article of our religion, be true and just ideas, faithfully drawn from the divine testimony, or not....

The term ‘knowledge’ is to be taken with each kind mentioned in the sūtra – sensory knowledge, scriptural knowledge, clairvoyant knowledge, telepathic knowledge and perfect knowledge (omniscience). That which reflects on the objects-of-knowledge through the senses and the mind, or that through which the objects-of-knowledge are reflected upon, or just reflection, is sensory knowledge....

The mother of Gnan is understanding and that understanding can be attained from the Gnani Purush. Understanding means Darshan. All You actually have to do is understand the Science. As the understanding sets in, One begins to become steady as the Self. After attaining Gnan, the veils over the Self break and the doership leaves. All the causes have dissipated, now only these effects remain. How are those effects to be suffered? For that, understand this Science! In this very lifetime, it is possible to stop the wrong conduct by developing Your understanding through Gnan. The Gnani Purush is considered the Lord of the three worlds, so what cannot be achieved there? Therefore, You should understand everything from the Gnani Purush. It is our ardent prayer that by undertaking this Purusharth (real spiritual effort to progress as the Self) of understanding the Science, mahatmas can climb the ladder of attaining the state of experience of the Self. ...

Circumstances dictate whether money, careers, sex, love, friends etc, are a source of pain or joy. One man may rejoice at his new found fortune, while another weeps as his disappears. A young lady delights in finding the man of her dreams. But another weeps bitterly as her man leaves for better company. A family rejoices at the birth of a child while another grieves the passing of a loved one. Some things are a source of great joy but may end up tearing you apart. Yes – Sometimes, Life Sucks!...

In Akram Vignan, the Self and the non-Self is separated through the Gnan (the Knowledge of the Self). A line of demarcation has been drawn between the two, which remains in the form of a conviction. Now, when can One experience separation from the self, from Chandubhai? In order for the separation to prevail with Chandubhai, the process of conversing with Chandubhai has definitely been proven effective; and in order to take this process to the level of experience, Dadashri has given a unique experiment in detail and that is of the mirror samayik (introspective analysis as the Self). The Self is like a mirror. Just like external things ‘reflect’ in a mirror, in the same way, the universe ‘reflects’ within the Self as well. Now, by understanding the mirror-like intrinsic functional properties of the Self, the experiment to see Chandubhai separate in the mirror, is a unique discovery by Dadashri. Dadashri says, “Just like when you are closely observing others; in the same way You should closely observe Chandubhai.” After seating Chandubhai in front of the mirror, you should tell him about as many mistakes as you can see for an hour, th...

How can you remain sincere to Dada? By following the Agnas. The Agnas are actually a great thing. With the grace and the Agnas of the Gnani Purush, and your sincerity towards your goal, everything can change. You should put into application whatever Dada says, you should not keep a single opinion that differs from Dada. Sincere does not mean ‘without mistakes’; rather a sincere person has unity of heart, he does not allow separation to arise [with the other person]. However much sincerity one has towards Dada, that much grace is bestowed upon him. Sincerity and morality are the causes that lead one to moksha. There is no need to put in any efforts for this at all; through understanding, one simply has to make his resolve strong. In the current compilation, Dadashri has given various explanations on how mahatmas can remain sincere to the Gnan and progress speedily. ...

First comes, serving your mother and father, they are the ones who have given birth to you, then comes the service to your guru. They have obliged you since childhood by suffering many difficulties, and yet they have raised you, educated you and instilled moral values in you. One should never overlook the humility and reverence for them in this entire life. A huge gap has formed between the old generation and the new generation. The elderly cannot let go of their old-fashioned ways, while the new generation does not understand their pain, and as a result, the distance increases between them. To serve your mother and father, to respect them and to please them, this foundation is required for spiritual progress. Your worldly interactions towards them should be ideal .While explaining the importance of serving one’s mother and father, Dadashri says, “The Vitaraag Lords and many saints have also served their mothers and fathers, up until the end.” ...

Absolutely revered Dada Bhagwan reveals the reality of the world that, “There are only two things in this world, the pure Soul and circumstances.” The pure Soul is permanent while circumstances are temporary and are of the non-Self and are entirely dependent on external factors. One becomes engrossed in that which he likes, while in that which he dislikes, he has abhorrence and he continues to suffer; all of these are still weaknesses. If your opinion changes, then equanimity will prevail during that which is liked and disliked. By maintaining awakened awareness, you should bring about equanimity during both kind of circumstances. Gradually you should come to the opinion that, ‘There is happiness only in the pure Soul and not in people or things. All of this are actually karmic accounts.’ In the current compilation, Dadashri is giving mahatmas the guidance for carrying out Purusharth to maintain samata with Gnan during likable and dislikable circumstances. ...

With the grace of absolutely revered Dada Bhagwan, followers have assuredly attained Self-realization. However, followers have attained this knowledge without discharging their karma, therefore the Self has not yet come into complete experience. If the Self is known & experienced completely then One himself is indeed God. In the middle portion of the Nischay-Vyavahar Charan Vidhi, the Vidhi for the Real and the relative, the Gnan sentences that contain ‘I am…’, such as, ‘I am full of infinite Knowledge, I am full of infinite Vision, etc. the Lord has referred to this as the Siddha Stuti. It is considered the greatest samayik. Truly speaking, these properties should be recited every day, all day long. In the current compilation, absolutely revered Dada Bhagwan explains the importance of Siddha Stuti, how it should be done, so that the infinite properties of the Self manifest....

I-think-i'd-better-think-it-out-again is a revisiting of of my arrogant and dogmatic youth in the light of mellowing ageing. It is 'a turning out of clutter in my shed'- a review of all the things I stored away in my Theology degree. It is based on a relationship with a creator God which began in my young days and has continued through the mellowing years of insight. Coming from a lifelong engineering bias, it is what I call an engineering review of the situation. I told one or two people I would write a theological book from an engineering point of view and I could see them scratch their heads as to what I meant. An engineer is someone who thinks from outside the box based on what he or she knows goes inside it. I realized I was biased toward engineering when, as a child, my parents asked why I had to take everything apart? I could not look at a clock accepting it told the time, I needed to know how it knew and how it expressed its understanding of time. Taking it apart did not alter the nature of time, nor did it take away the knowledge that time exists. It simply examined the way a clock delivers its expression of time...

If I were to ask you to define the term god, I suspect any number of people might put this book straight back on the shelf. The clever Darwinian might answer, 'There is no such thing as a god and therefore it cannot be defined'. The equally clever philosopher might readily explain, 'If we could understand god enough to define him we would be better than him and he would cease to be god'. The theologian, presupposing the existence of a god might argue 'We can observe some characteristics but never completely define Him'. Mankind has debated god from his earliest reasoning. Cave drawings allude to such. One, found in the cavern known as 'The Sanctuary', was drawn around 13,000 BC. Looking more like a devil than a god, it is an early evidence of mankind recognizing 'a higher power'. Certainly, by the Babylonian era, the idea of higher powers was well documented....

Due to merit karma of countless past lives, Akram Science is attained in this era of time cycle. One becomes aware that, ‘I am pure Soul,’ the conviction; awareness as the Self sets in; yet who obstructs experience of that state? The reason is one uses ‘inverted spectacles’ [seeing the relative] that are created from opinions & becomes bound to people, things circumstances. The only opinion one should have is, ‘This body is a betrayal.’ Even the slightest negative thought for the other person reaches him; then it develops further. There, shoot-on- sight pratikraman (to recall, apologize; resolve not to repeat a mistake) stops the vibrations from reaching the other person or it erases the ones that have reached. The moment it is erased, naturalness; spontaneity is noticeable in the speech & conduct with that person. This edition of Dadavani will help readers dissolve the veils of opinions in the form of ‘colored glasses’; progress on the path of liberation. ...

Every human being gets caught up in situations where pressure from circumstances is such that even if he doesn’t want to make mistakes, mistakes happen & he is not able to become free from these mistakes. In order for people to eliminate their faults & to be able to make spiritual progress the Tirthankar Lords & the Gnanis have given the world the weapon of alochana-pratikraman-pratyakhyan. Through our nimit when pain is caused to other person’s ego, a ‘stain’ is formed on our relative self & in order to make that relative self pure; the only thing that is required is pratikraman! Pratikraman destroys the causes of faults & renders the faults rootless. Absolutely revered Dada Bhagwan says, “On one hand, through Akram Vignan the realm of Your real Self will be taken care of, while with pratikraman the realm of the relative will be taken care of.” With bhaav pratikraman, one will surely be able to experience inner peace & the fundamental root of attachment-abhorrence will be eradicated. ...

What is the measuring device that says what writings get to be part of the Bible? Do individual people get to tell God “These are the writings I think should be in the Bible, and so these writings are the only thing I need to base my spiritual life on.”? Do you think God is going to accept that? Do you think we get to choose whatever instructions we want to obey from God but we can throw out whatever ones we want and say they are not part of the Bible? Do Corporations or Church denominations get to tell people “We decided that this stack of writings here on this table is all you need to obey, everything else doesn't matter for your spiritual life because we said so, and God will follow what we bind up here on earth.”? Do you think God is going to accept that? Who then gets to decide what writings or books are part of the Bible that we should use as an example to live by? Do I get to decide for everyone? No, No I don't. Who then? I believe that only Yehovah God himself gets to decide, and has decided........
