What does the Swastika symbolize ? The four wings indicate entry into different life forms ( gati ; life forms as a human , animal , in hell and celestial ); and the center signifies moksha !
‘ The physical body that you see is not Dada Bhagwan ! The one that you remember is true Dada . What you see is A . M . Patel . And the one manifested within him as the absolute Self is Dada Bhagwan ! One living as the physical body ( dehdhari ) cannot be called God . The body is mortal and the absolute Self is immortal ; it is eternal . Dada Bhagwan manifested in me , when I was sitting on a bench at Surat station , in 1958 !’ - Dadashri .
The worldly interactions of saints are auspicious and inauspicious ( shubha-ashubha ). The worldly interactions of the Gnani are pure ( shuddha ). The worldly interaction that comes to an end , it is considered as having become pure . A Gnani Purush is the absolute Self in a human body ( dehdhari parmatma ). He who has not a single gross or subtle mistake is a Gnani Purush .
One meets such a Gnani Purush when one ’ s merit karmas of the highest kind come about to bear their fruit . Such a Gnani Purush has manifested in this era of the time cycle ! He is the most revered Dadashri ! Many people have reservations about taking Dadashri ’ s Gnan when they already have a guru . With regards to this , Dadashri says that one should continue with his guru . One needs a guru for guidance in worldly interactions and for moksha ( liberation ) one needs a Gnani . A guru is the one who teaches the religion of the worldly life . Gurus are saints . They help you become free from the bad deeds , and help you towards doing good deeds . However , they cannot make you attain the Self ; the Gnani Purush gives moksha , within one hour ; like cash in hand !
What is the difference between a devotee ( seeker ) and the Gnani ? It is like the servant and the ultimate master .
