Aptavani-5
Questioner: What about when we sing pados (spiritual
songs of Gnan) here in satsang?
Dadashri: All that comes under following of my Agnas.
The state of dharmadhyan, arising out of following the Agnas
of the Gnani, will bring the highest state in a human form in the
next life. By following the Agnas your next life will be beautiful;
you will meet Tirthankars, then what more do you want? You
have already attained the Self. Now You only have to go
through the final step of doing darshan of the Tirthankar Lord
and if You do that just once, it is more than enough. That which
is obstructing Your full enlightenment (kevalgnan), will be
removed. The Gnani Purush will take You all the way to where
He himself has reached. He cannot take You beyond that point.
To go beyond that point, He will take you to the One who has
reached that point (Tirthankar); there is no other way!
The Self Is Never the Sufferer
A nephew of a man who comes here to satsang was
burnt by acid. A burn from a fire is better than a burn from
acid. The doctors became very concerned with his injuries and
said he would not live more than three hours. I had given
Gnan to the young man, and he told the doctors with a smile,
‘Cut me whenever you have to, I am separate and Raju is
separate.’ The doctors were stunned listening to him talk in this
way. He survived. He would have died had he not attained this
Gnan. Half of the time a person dies from psychological
effects of, ‘What has become of me? How did this happen?
This will never heal’, etc., whereas Raju said, ‘I am separate
and Raju is separate.’ When I went to visit him in the hospital,
he was in very good spirits; he told Me, ‘Raju is sleeping next
to Me.’
All the doctors were astonished. They had never seen
anything like this before. One might question, ‘What is all this?’
and the answer is, ‘Dada is behind all this.’ It is the splendor
