The Gnani comes into the world bearing great karma of getting fame and name (yashnaam karma). Because of these karmas, the material needs of people are fulfilled. But in that, the Gnani does not do anything at all. The Gnani’s toe is the solvent for dissolving the ego and it is from this location that the liberating energy reaches you, when you place your forehead there. The Sarvagnya (the One for whom nothing remains to be known) is the One, who not even for a samaya (time’s smallest measure), stays in the non- Self and is always in the samaya of the Self. For Dadashri all karmas are alien. Dadashri says that for Him there is shortage of only four degrees in attaining absolute enlightenment. This is due to the current time cycle of Kaliyug! The only qualification needed on the path of moksha is absolute humility (param vinaya) and ‘I don’t know anything’. Lack of humility towards the Gnani creates obstacles to one’s own moksha. One should only know about the place where he is going, nothing else is worth knowing. Are arati (lamp waving ceremony), bhakti (devotional chants) and such acts not called actions (kriyas) in the path of Akram Vignan? No, because here one does not become the doer. One remains separate and makes the relative self do it. Thus, there is no devotional subservience to any worldly individual here, but one does this towards one’s own Self. At that time one is in the state of pragnya, where there is no operation of the intellect. Revered Dadashri Himself used to bow with both hands to the Dada Bhagwan within and used to sing, ‘Dada Bhagwan Na Aseem Jai Jaikar Ho!’ and he used to make others sing and do the same to Dada Bhagwan within them. This is the highest form of devotion! The listener and the speaker are both having satsang (in the company of the Eternal) and such is this Akram Science. 32
