This precious book is a compilation of the speech of the Gnani Purush( the Enlightened One) Pujya Shree Dadashri, whose every word can eradicate the worldly wanderings of life after life from its very root; whose single roar can awaken the soul that has been in profound sleep for an infinite time; a being at whose divine feet comes to halt time, karma and illusion.
Dadashri’ s speech is verily the manifestation of the Goddess of Knowledge; Saraswati. It is the speech of the vitarag, i. e. the one who is free from all attachments.

It is syadvad speech, meaning speech that is accepted by all and one that does not offend anyone’ s viewpoint. Such a speech that has come forth naturally for the salvation of the world, based on the evidences of worldly situation, time, location, and a deep inner intent, is speech that is extremely difficult to compile. This speech has expressed outwards having‘ touched’ the fully manifested enlightened Lord within the Gnani Purush. Humble apologies are offered for any shortcomings in the compilation of this book of Gnan, i. e. knowledge that leads to liberation.

This knowledge has come forth from the revered Dadashri from 1958 onwards. However, the precise understanding of this knowledge‘ as it is’, can only be attained by a direct meeting with Him. Nevertheless, as long as His presence( overt or subtle) prevails in any corner of this world, this book of Gnan
