experiencing bliss at that time?
Dadashri: Because, if this ‘Dada Bhagwan’ (within)
were in a physical form, then people would think that He is
singing and making others sing His own praise. It is in fact not
like that. In the Gita, Lord Krishna has sung it this way too, but
people are not able to understand, are they? The Lord says,
‘You verily are Lord Krishna (the Parmatma).’ Now, how can
they understand this unless they have attained the knowledge of
the Self?
The one listening and the one doing the singing or saying,
is ‘doing’ satsang (company of the eternal Self) of the Self.
This science (vignan) is such that no one has to do it for
another person. One is automatically ‘doing’ it for one’s own
Self.
Is what you see, ‘Dada Bhagwan’? No, he cannot be
‘Dada Bhagwan’. The one you see is A. M. Patel and he is from
the town of Bhadran. ‘Dada Bhagwan’ is the one who has
manifested within!
In what form is He? He is in the form of Knowledge
(Gnan), vision (darshan), conduct (charitra), and penance
(tapa). The experience derived from all these, that is ‘Dada
Bhagwan’.
This is Patel. This ‘bubble’ (physical body of A. M. Patel
the Gnani Purush) may burst tomorrow and people will burn
it but no one can burn ‘Dada Bhagwan’ because fire is gross
and the Self (the Atma) is subtle. How can gross burn that
which is subtle? Similarly ‘Dada Bhagwan’ in the form of Gnan,
darshan, charitra and tapa, resides within you too! And that
is who you yourself are!
