never know how to sing.” You create an obstacle for yourself by
simply saying that. And if you say, “Sure, I know how to sing!”
then the obstacle will disappear. You do not have to go anywhere
to learn things; you have come here already knowing them.
Questioner: Would one know how to sing if he says, “I
know how to sing”?
Dadashri: No. Not “I know how to sing,” but in your
mind, you should have a strong conviction, “Why not, why
should I not know how to sing?”
So many people say, “How can there be such a thing as
Akram Gnan? How is it possible to attain moksha in just an
hour?” The moment you say that, you create obstacles. You can
never tell what is possible in this world, so it is not worth using
your intellect (buddhi) to assess it, because it has clearly
happened and that is (ability to attain Gnan within one hour) a
fact. These obstacles prevail particularly for Atmavignan
(science of the Self; spiritual science): the very last ‘station’.
Those who have managed to remove their obstacles for
the paroksh (indirect), they have the obstacles for the pratyaksh
(direct). Which is why they only come across the paroksh.
Generally, obstacles for the pratyaksh are immense, however, if
they are destroyed, the reward is an end to the wandering of life
after life.
Questioner: How can one destroy Gnanantaray and
darshanantaray?
Dadashri: The Gnani Purush can destroy them for you.
He can destroy ignorance of the Self, as well as remove the
obstacles for you. But there are certain obstacles that even
Gnani cannot remove.
Questioner: What are those obstacles?
Dadashri: Wherever there is a violation of humility
