Aptavani-5
This is a completely different path. This is a science
(vignan). Vignan means with just ‘knowing’ one can be
liberated. One does not have to do anything. Whatever is
outside is gnan (knowledge). That knowledge is not kriyakari
(working on its own) whereas vignan is. Once You attain this
Science of Akram, it will continue to work on its own from
within (kriyakari). It does shuddha kriya, it continues to purify
what is within, leading to the absolute Self. It will not be affected
by any ashuddhata (impurities) of the non-Self. This is a
different science; it is Akram Vignan!
Questioner: Is this what the Lord refers to as nishkaam
karmas (karmas performed without expectations of reward)?
Dadashri: Nishkaam karmas are different. Nishkaam
karmas are a kind of a way of doing something. You need
doership in that. One can do nishkaam karmas when one is a
doer. Here there is no doership. This is a state of the Self.
Wherever there is doership, there is no purity (shuddhata) – the
purity of the Self. It is the state of doing good deeds.
Questioner: What should one do to attain purity
(shuddhata)?
Dadashri: If you try to ‘do’ anything, you will bind
karmas. Here you simply have to ask for what you want. Any
actions of ‘doing’ will bind karmas; ‘doing’ good will bind good
karmas and ‘doing’ bad will bind bad karmas, and in purity
(shuddhata)
