within one hour. What can the Gnani Purush not do? He can do
whatever He wishes. ‘We’ (the Gnani Purush and the fully
enlightened Lord within) are not the doer of anything. ‘We’
remain constantly in a state (bhaav) of being a nimit (instrumental
evidence).
If one cannot achieve shukladhyan, but if he maintains
dharmadhyan in the current era, it is enough. Today, true
dharmadhyan has disappeared. People have no understanding at
all of what dharmadhyan is. For whatever time one is able to
‘do’ or maintain dharmadhyan, even if it is for an hour or two,
there is an experience of tremendous happiness at that time.
That effect then continues for few more hours. But what can
anyone do when people do not even understand what
dharmadhyan is? People are involved in artadhyan and
raudradhyan all day long. There is nothing but nagging all day
long. The Lord had said for us to remain in dharmadhyan.
Four pillars of dharmadhyan
Questioner : What did the Lord consider dharmadhyan?
Dadashri : The Lord has had said that agna is dharma
(one’s real religion) and agna is penance also. (Abiding by the
Lord’s agna is one’s duty and religion and that is true penance).
The Lord said there are four pillars of dharmadhyan.
The first pillar of dharmadhyan is to accept and believe
that Lord’s agnas are correct. This is the first pillar, agna-
vichaya. The second pillar is apaya-vichaya where one no
longer has anger, pride, illusion or greed. The third pillar is
vipak-vichaya where if someone throws a stone at you, you
accept it as the maturation of your own karma and the fourth
pillar is sansthan-vichaya. When one understands the reality of
these then the dharmadhyan ends completely.
Everyone agrees for sure that the Lord’s agnas are
correct. It is fine if one does not have a profound understanding
