yashnaam karmas.
Yashnaam karmas can be very high if one has had the
intent, over many era and many lifetimes, for the salvation of the

work so hard and still I am not appreciated.’ I tell them, ‘You
have come with upyash (discredit, defame) and so that is what
you will get. You have to continue doing what you do and
accept the discredit.’

‘the amrut (nectar) of immortality flows’; does something like
that flow for you? Have you experienced that somewhat?
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: Then it is good. The path where the nectar of
immortality flows is worth it!
Questioner: Who is considered the Sarvagnya (the
