Dadashri: Absolute separation; it is a completely different
state altogether! It is not possible to describe it!!
Questioner: Did you feel that something was going to
happen prior to that moment?
Dadashri: I was experiencing a lot of peace. But it was
the kind of peace associated with the ego; that is of no use. That
kind of peace, even people who are not Self-realized, can
experience.
Questioner: During that time on the station, had you ever
felt such a bliss before?
Dadashri: With the attributes of Gnata (Knower),
Drashta (Seer) and Parmanand (Supremely blissful), I had
become separate. I was not in my body, I was not in my speech,
nor was I in my mind. That was how detached I had become.
That is indeed the attainment of Gnan (the Self-knowledge).
Gnan is the Atma (the Soul; the Self) itself.
Questioner: Does the light of Gnan- after its
manifestation- stay the same for you, or does it keep increasing?
Dadashri: ‘Ours’ is the ‘experienced Gnan’ in which
there cannot be two kinds of light. There is only one kind of
constant light. ‘We’ have complete, precise and clear experience
(spashta anubhav) of the Self. Until you have the clear
experience of the Self (spashta anubhav), the Gnan will
continue to increase. Once you have that clear exact experience
(spashta anubhav), the Gnan is complete.
Questioner: How can someone who studies spirituality,
know that he has reached the absolute state?
Dadashri: Such a person’s speech will be vitarag
(detached and without abhorrence towards anything), his
expression will be vitarag, and conduct will be vitarag.
Everything about him is vitarag. He has no attachment for, nor
