In worldly life, it is essential to earn money for a living, but as long as those monetary dealings are not ideal, they are not considered pure.

In the current compilation, a humble effort has been made to explain the word ‘jagruti’ in detail. Dadashri says in simple language that jagruti is to not ‘sleep’; from that point all the way to ‘to not allow the flame of the lamp to extinguish’. In order to experience jagruti in depth, Dadashri has made use of various phrases, such as: the process of separating from Chandubhai through the experiment of conversing with ‘file number one’; to See and Know Chandubhai as sep...

Through the experiment of Gnan Vidhi, the wrong belief of seekers of liberation fractures and the right belief sets in that, ‘I am not Chandubhai [reader should substitute his/her name here], I am the pure Soul.’ We understand that ‘Chandubhai’ is separate and the pure Soul is separate, that is theoretical, but along with that, it is essential to apply Gnan (Knowledge of the Self) practically and to bring a solution to worldly life. Worldly life perpetuates by seeing the...

What obstructs the path of moksha (liberation)? Kashay. Attachment-abhorrence, anger-pride-deceit-greed; all these generate pain [to others and the self]. That itself is what is referred to as kashay. Param Pujya Dadashri says that attachment does not cause pain, but attachment is the seed of kashay. Seeds are sown through attachment, then when the result of that comes, abhorrence will arise on that day and through that, worldly life perpetuates. If the slightest of unfa...

Absolutely revered Dadashri [also known as Dada Bhagwan] says ‘our’ mind always remains yielded to ‘us’, so ‘we’ don’t ever form an opinion! The mind does not bother ‘us’ in the slightest, all the way until the end. Since the time ‘we’ first saw you, came in contact with you, since then ‘our’ opinion has never changed. Then no matter how much you change, ‘we’ have observed through the inner vision that you are subject to your karma. In the current edition, Dadashri gives...

אורי ת טרופין: הנפש המתאוו ה לדָבָר והאהבה למילה : על אני פסיכה וארוס מאת : בת -שב ע שפירא בת-שבע שפירא כותבת "אני פסיכה וארוס". הטקסט שלה נטול סימני פיסוק ופתוח לדו-משמעות ולרב-משמעויות שהן לעתים סותרות, וכך גם הכותרת, המכילה רב-משמעיות זו בזעיר אנפין. כיצד יתכן שאני היא פסיכה וגם ארוס? הרי מדובר בשניים שלעולם לא יהיו לאחד – "כשני מקבילים כי רק כך היינו מסוגלים להמריא לגבהים או לצלול אל מעמקי אפלת-השאול בלא להתקרב כי רק כך יכולנו להתמשך זה לצד זה במרחק-קבוע לא נו...

פרולוג פסיכה פעם הוביל אותי אבי אל סלע-העקידה כפת אותי אליו והשאיר-אותי שם והלך בלי מילה בלי להעיף מבט-לאחור וכפיתה זו הותירה בי את חותמה הבלתי-מתכלה – ותם קשיות-הסלע / תהום הריק-הטובעני הקר המבט המנוכר משם נחטפתי בסערה והובאתי ונכבלתי אל מחוזותיו של מי שהיה אהובי -האפל ואהוב זה וחשכתו הטביעו בי את חותמם -שלהם ומאז מרוב טביעות והטבעות ומניעות והימנעויות וחבלות וניסיונות -השתחררות וקימות ונפילות נחרץ גופי צלקות-צלקות שהייתי ממשיכה וחורצת וחורטת בהן שוב ושוב ...
