Every human being is living a life, but how much humanity does he have? Birth, education, job, marriage, kids, family and at the end…death! Is this the standard cycle of life that has to be followed? What is the ultimate goal of such a life? Why do we take birth? What do we want? The human body that we have received... should do the duty of being humane. There should be humanity in life. But what is humanity? According to Param Pujya Dadashri, the Gnani Purush (t...

There are times in life when we must endure suffering due to no fault on our part – or so it seems. Life circumstances can appear terribly unjust. Naturally we question, “Why me? Am I wrong? It’s not my fault!, Why do bad things happen to good people?” Added to the many problems in everyday life, these situations can feel like the very definition of suffering. We may conclude that there is no God, question how to get inner peace, and how to live through such trying ci...

There are times in life when we must endure suffering due to no fault on our part – or so it seems. In painful circumstances, we naturally question, “Why me? Am I wrong? It’s not my fault!” Such situations may feel like the very definition of suffering. In the book “Fault is of the Sufferer”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan provides spiritual solutions to common and everyday forms of suffering such as dealing with difficult people, facing unhe...

Those seeking to lead a spiritual life inevitably face challenges in their pursuit of spirituality and practice. As spiritual development progresses, facing one’s faults, failures, and unintentional mistakes become disconcerting – even for the most sincere seeker. One may then ask, “What are the benefits of the different types of religion? From the many religions of the world, which practices will accelerate my spiritual growth? In actuality, how to live exactly?” ...

Those seeking to lead a spiritual life, or just wondering how to become more spiritual may become inspired towards serving others, or giving Seva (selfless service). To learn how to serve God one might emulate spiritual people, study with spiritual teachers, or look to different types of religion and different types of yoga. But finding spiritual guidance on the topic of Seva is not always easy. One might be left wondering, “Is service to humanity a higher means...

Life requires continuous adjustment in relation to unpleasant and unfavorable circumstances. In everyday situations (such as opening an umbrella in the rain, or wearing a jacket in the cold) we generally don’t resist these required adjustments. However, when dealing with difficult people, facing unhealthy relationships, in family relationships, or in the midst of marriage problems, adjustments become increasingly difficult. Some of our relationships could even be said to...

In order to attain progress in spirituality, seva (service rendered to others without any selfish motive) is a great instrument in Dadashri’s mission of world salvation. There are two paths to attain the absolute state (purnahuti). One is to increase the awakened awareness of separation and to start Purusharth (real progress as the Self), and the other is to do seva of mahatmas and with that Gnan becomes practical, leading to completion. Dada says, “When the mind, speech...

Sincerity, itself, is religion (dharma). Religion actually teaches one to remain sincere to himself as well as to the entire world. Sincerity and morality are indeed joint to one another. The result of sincerity is that one comes into morality. Once one has become moral, he is ready to attain the state of the absolute Self (Parmatma pad). Morality is to not have even a single attribute that any living being of the world would not accept; that is full morality. He is in t...

The manifestation of a Gnani Purush who prevails in a state of continuous freedom from the mind-speech-body is a great marvel of this era of the time cycle. The Gnani who moves about without being bound by matter, location, time, inner intent, and worldly existence, who continuously prevails in His own natural state as the Self; it is worth doing the darshan of such a Gnani Purush. But what should that darshan be like? It is if one truly recognizes and does darshan that ...

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 v...

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, Dadash...
