Aptavani Series Number Six has one distinguished splendor . On the one hand there are ‘ problems ’ at every moment in worldly interactions , and on the other hand , one is enmeshed in internal struggles and single-handedly has to solve them . In the contest between these two , how can one get solutions for conflicts that arise day and night ? Who can help with it ? This very conflict carves away at one ’ s insides and his train never leaves the yard of the station ( life passes away ).
Whoever comes before Dadashri with a list of all the conflicts in his life , Dadashri shows him such a proper solution that he moves out of the conflicts !
Gnan ( knowledge of eternal truth ) cannot be attained through words , discourses or service ; it can be attained with help of the developed vision to understand the meaning of what lies in the Gnani ’ s heart , and this is the exclusive right of every individual ’ s expression .
How is it possible to know this Vitarag Purush ( one free from all worldly attachments ) as He is ? Until today , there was no such vision , no measure of any kind available to identify Him . That vision can be obtained as a result of one ’ s previous life ’ s earnings of merit karma ( punya ) which can remove some of the infinite veils covering the Self . This removal grants one the vision that can identify the Gnani and his state ! Do we possess that clear vision ? How can the vision be clarified ? Only if there was the intention formed life after life , to this point in time , that , ‘ I must meet a Gnani Purush who imparts the state of being devoid of all attachments ( vitarag state ); except for this , I have no desire for anything else .’ Then , as a result of the Gnani ’ s grace , there will open up in his vision the knowledge seed of the ‘ second day of the moon ’ ( Dadashri uses the simile of a waxing moon for the state of one who has just acquired Self-realization and who will eventually arrive at the ‘ Full moon ’ state , the absolute knowledge — Keval Gnan state ).
