EDITORIAL
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 . Vitarag speech can also be defined according to Dadashri ’ s aphorism as , “ When the prakruti ( the non-self complex ) is experienced in detail , one becomes a Vitarag .” Since it is the speech of the apta-purush i . e . the one who is trustworthy at all times , it can never be negated at any time . 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 book of Gnan is not a book of religion , it is a book of practical spiritual science ; it is vignan . An attempt has been made to present to the world the extract of the knowledge of the inner spiritual science of the Vitarag Lords ; the fully Enlightened ones . 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
