Dadashri: If you do start to become a viradhak
(insolent), I will stop the discussion because I will know that the
discussion is going on the wrong path.
Questioner: But what if I end up doing your viradhana?
Dadashri: You do not have the parmanus (subatomic
particles of matter, the substrate of karmas effect) to do my

which is verily aradhana of the absolute Self (Parmatma) and
that is the cause for moksha.

the pudgal?
Questioner: There is an experience that is beyond the
senses (atindriya), is there not?
Dadashri: Not everyone is aware of that. The sign of

slightest akudata-vyakudata (disturbances in the non-Self);
You have lost Your path–Vision (You have ‘become’
‘Chandubhai’). If you come home agitated from the heat, you
feel good when you sit under a fan. That is not called shuddha
upayog (pure applied awareness of the Self). You have to
remain as the Knower of that too. When you are enduring some
kind of suffering, You should remain as the Knower of the
