What good is that? ‘We’ have found the ultimate station here.
There are countless stations where gurus can get you lost. You
will find stability and comfort there but of what use is stability
and comfort for liberation?
By awakening the kundalini, one can see things, but they
were already there to begin with. Nirvikalp samadhi means the
state of absolute unaffectedness amidst all stresses within
thoughts, speech and acts. This can only be attained when one’s
vision is turned towards the Self and when one’s knowledge is
directed towards the Self. This is attained only when one
becomes the Self.
Questioner : Dada the light of kundalini arises within me.
Dadashri : It is a tool for concentration (ekagrata) and
that is why that light arises and you experience happiness.

the object (drashya) and the seer (drashta) is the Self. The Self
that ‘we’ have given you is the observer of the light.
Questioner : I see a light when I concentrate and this
increases my happiness.
Dadashri : That is relative happiness. Do you know what
it is like? It is like the happiness you experience after eating
