EDITORIAL
Deep spiritual discussions on the Self have often been
read and heard. Many have pointed towards the ultimate goal of
life, but this is like describing a mountain from the bottom of the
valley! Large volumes have been published describing, what the
truth (satya) is, what the untruth (asatya) is, what stealing
(chaurya) is, what non-stealing (achaurya) is, what is worth
acquiring (upadeya), what is worth rejecting (heya), what
acquisitiveness (parigraha) is and what non-acquisitiveness
(aparigraha) is in worldly interactions. However, the root cause
of untruth, violence (himsa), stealing, acquisitiveness and rejection
is not found anywhere. A rare Gnani may have talked about all
this in general but if anyone in the current era of the time cycle
has explored how the kashays (anger, pride, deceit and greed)
subtly function in simple events of the day-to-day life; it would
be the one and only ‘Akram Scientist’, the supremely
compassionate Shri Dada Bhagwan! In the ‘Akram Vignan’
that has manifested through Him, there is the publication of the
deep knowledge about the Self and the non-Self, the relation
between the Self and the non-Self, the doer in this universe, the
regulator of the universe, and there is also the exposition of the
hidden knowledge of the science behind interactions in the worldly
life, interactions that are accepted by everyone and are clearly
experienced by everyone in their daily life. Most revered
Dadashri’s speech does not flow out as a lecture, as an address
or as preaching. This is a science that emerges as a taped record,
the science that gives complete solutions to actual questions
arising from the seeker about life, from those desirous of Self-
realization and from those who are thinkers! Here, there is no
criticism nor is there a long and boring lecture. The answers to
the questions are heart touching; they shatter the intellect and
bring forth the direct vision of the Self! This is the unparalleled
wonder of the great Gnani Purush (the perfectly enlightened
One free from all worldly attachments).
