The Self (Atma) is the Knowing-Seeing element (Chetan tattva), and matter (jada tattva) is in the form of parmanus. These parmanus have three phases: prayogsa (charging phase), mishrasa (mixed phase), and vishrasa (pure phase). Pure (shuddha) parmanu are vishrasa. Now, due to the awareness of doership, when anger-pride-deceit-greed happen to a person, pure parmanus (vishrasa) enter the body from outside, and get charged on the basis of the electrical body. The parmanus b...

Moha means total lack of awareness. It means not to know who one is. Absolutely revered Dadashri simply explains that, ‘That which steals away the entire chit is called moha.’ Where is the major place that the chit gets trapped? The answer is vishaya (sexuality). Where is the other place? In unnecessary things. If you want to go to moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth and death), then you ought to make a list of essential and nonessential things. And then you shoul...

There are two parts to the work that happens through the human body; the gross part is the external activity, and the subtle part is the antahkaran. There are four parts to the antahkaran: the mind, intellect, chit, and ego. When circumstantial evidences come together, then the mind gets involved in thoughts and shows various pamphlets, and based on that, the chit shows a variety of photos, and the intellect gives a decision which the ego endorses. Without the ego, no ...

Who knows the true meaning of love? What people refer to as love in the worldly life is actually attraction (aasakti). Real love is that which does not increase or decrease. From where is this real love acquired? The answer is, from the Ones who have become the embodiment of love, the Vitarags (fully enlightened Lords), the Gnanis (the Ones who have realized the Self and are able to do the same for others). Pure love is referred to as divine love (ishwariya prem), in whi...

Having attained Self-Knowledge through the grace of absolutely revered Gnani Purush Dadashri, Mahatmas just have to follow the five Agna. In reality, to follow the five Agna is itself samayik. However, here we do samayik-pratikraman to wash off past mistakes or to wash off mistakes that arise in worldly interactions. In Akram, samayik means nothing else; one just needs to remain the Knower-Seer of whatever sprouts in the mind. It is an activity of the Self (Gnankriya)...

What must be the primary goal of married life? It should be to complement one another and achieve the ultimate goal of a human life of attaining the bliss of liberation. In order to attain liberation, ideal worldly interactions are necessary. Revered Dadashri says that worldly life and ‘files’ do not obstruct liberation, but one’s own weakness in awareness obstructs. Worldly interactions are already unfolding on the basis of Scientific Circumstantial Evidences, then how ...

On account of the merit karma of countless past lives, we have attained the Knowledge of the Self (Gnan) in this time cycle with the grace of Akram Vignani absolutely revered Dada Bhagwan (Dadashri). After taking Gnan, the ‘plant’ of jagruti (awareness as the Self) needs to be given water and fertilizer in the form of satsang; then the plant will grow. This satsang will end all the internal turmoil, whereas kusang (company that leads one away from the Self) gives rise...

A living being (jiva), after coming into human life-form continues to dwell in five sense pleasures as per its understanding. Amongst the vishaya (sensory pleasures) of the five senses, the tongue is the only correct and acceptable one. The rest of them are deluding and made up. A discipline in diet becomes a very important part in practicing brahmacharya. One who wants to practice brahmacharya should eat only as much as required for the basic nourishment of the body; an...

On coming together of the two elements jada (matter) and chetan (Self), vishesha parinam (extra result) arises. And due to its effect, wrong belief arises. Due to the effect of the pressure of the pudgal (non-Self complex) extraneous property (vyatirek guna – when two elements come together, a third new component of completely new property arises), ‘I am the doer’ arises. And through that, this cycle of worldly life after life (sansar) continues. Atma (Soul) is eternally...

The speech (vani) of Aptapurush is such that it cannot be compared with anything. That is because it is a speech without ownership. It is egoless speech, and a pure speech that is without kashayas (anger-pride-deceit-greed) and vishaya (sexuality). Dadashri does not himself become the owner of the mind, speech, or body. He is in the state of the Knower and the Seer (Gnata-Drashta) without ego, my-ness, or doership. By listening to this speech, the listener experience...

‘Arati’ in the Hindu tradition, is considered to be an important medium for the devotional worship (bhakti) of God. Here, in the Akram path, after the Self has awakened, what is the purpose, importance and benefit of doing arati?

This worldly life (sansar) is the shop to get rid of all the karma.The relations and worldly interactions that are going on in our life are those we had planned in the past life and are giving results in this life. Every living being has attained the life according to his own contractual agreement (karaar). This worldly life is the unfolding of the contractual agreement. We want to go to moksha, so settle the files (term used by Dadashri for the non-Self accounts, presen...

Karma are getting discharged continuously from birth to death for every human being. Karma get charged as long as there is darshan moha. Darshan moha means ‘I am this’ and ‘I am doing this’. In Akram marg, after attaining the Gnan (Self-realization), ego leaves so whatever discharge karma remains, is called charitra moha. Charitra moha means effective moha, new causes are not bound.

In Hindu and Jain religion much emphasis is placed on penance (tapa). In giving a true understanding of tapa, the Vitarags have said that there are two kinds of tapa: laukik (worldly; relative) and alaukik (spiritual; real; beyond the world) tapa.

External tapa is visible to the eyes and understood through intellect (buddhi), in it there is a state of doership of ‘I am doing it’ (karta bhaav). However i...

Samayik means a state of equanimity of the Self (Atma samadasha). There are mainly two kinds of samayiks.

And the samayik of the Akram path means the ‘self’ becomes the Self and then ‘sees’ the ‘self’- file no. 1. The Lord has called that Atma samayik. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan (Dadashri) says that the Self verily is s...

What stops one from attaining moksha? It is the claims from the files of past life’s karmic ties (roonanubandha). Out of all those files, file no. 2 (spouse), is considered the closest and the stickiest. All we have to see is that kashaya (anger-pride-deceit-greed) do not arise during daily interactions with that sticky file; a loving but dramatic (superfluous) interaction happens; avoiding becoming the cause for binding a new worldly life, thus proceeding towards liber...
