the truth but people say they are not able to do so. People are
looking for scriptures that are applicable to the era of current
this time cycle of Kaliyug so that they can get their work done.
New scriptures will be written that will prevent the deleterious
effect of the current time cycle upon people and take them to
moksha. The ‘medicine’ the scriptures preach to us, to speak
the truth, to be kind, to keep peace etc., is outdated medicine.
Now we will need new medicine. Your intent (bhaav) must be
to speak only the truth, and if you make a mistake, you have to
tell ‘Chandubhai’ to do pratikraman. ‘Our’ words will break all
veils of ignorance; the power of the Gnani’s speech is such that
it gives complete clarification within. You forget the world and the
worldly life when you sit with me here, which verily is moksha.
‘Our’ speech is pratyaksh (direct) Saraswati; it is living
and directly present Saraswati (Goddess of speech). The
Goddess Saraswati you see in pictures, books and scriptures is
an in-direct form (paroksha). If you want to do darshan of the
real presence of Saraswati, you can do so by listening to this
speech.
‘We’ (Gnani Purush and the fully enlightened Lord within)
are not the speaker of everything being said here; ‘We’ are not
the speaker of even a single word. Really, it is your punya (merit
karma) that causes these words to come forth. ‘We’ are able to
assess your punyas based on the speech that comes out. This
speech is a record; ‘We’ have nothing to do with it. What is this
speech like? It is completely syadvad; it is speech that does not
hurt anyone, not in the least, and one that accepts every
viewpoint. Such is this speech, absolutely syadvad.
What is the definition of the worship of Saraswati? It
means to not abuse (apvyaya) the speech in any way or form.
It means to not abuse speech or utter speech that is spoken for
selfish reasons. To lie is to abuse speech.
For a Kshatriya, his word is his bond. A Kshatriya will
