when he is not Self-realized? Vallabhacharya had given support
to the path of Vedanta. What kind of worldly conduct existed in
the time of Vallabhacharya? People used to do the darshan of
the maharaj and the maharaj used to do the darshan of the pure
Soul within them. Everything has changed now because of the
strangeness of the era of this current time cycle. If people do
darshan of maharaj and he does not do darshan of their pure
Soul, then the maharaj himself loses out. Now who would
understand this? Now this era of the current time cycle is coming
to an end and so even all relative religions are going to be
reestablished with the original message of their founder. ‘We’
will reset these relative religions which have been ‘upset’, by
‘upsetting’ them (exposing the misgivings and establishing the
correct understanding).
Connection with Lord Krishna within
Questioner : How did Meera and Narsinh have direct
darshan (sakshatkar) of Lord Krishna?
Dadashri : What Meera and Narsinh saw was not
Krishna. The ‘seer’ that saw, is Krishna. The one who says, “I
can see Krishna within,” is the object to be seen (drashya) and
the seer (drashta) is the real Krishna. The true darshan of ‘this
Krishna’ can only be done through the grace of a Gnani Purush.
At the time of Meera and Narsinh there was no Gnani Purush
around and therefore you cannot consider their experience as
true darshan of Lord Krishna. Devotees like Narsinh, Meera,
Kabir, Akha, Gnandeva, and Tookaram are still around. None
of them have attained liberation. However, now they have taken
the knowledge of the Self from me.
As long as you are a devotee, you are separate from God
(the Lord within). The work is complete when the devotee
becomes one with God. No one has really understood Lord
Krishna at all. Some have labeled Him ‘the one with a flute’.
Some called him ‘the one with the gopis’, etc. Alio, the street
