The existing wrong beliefs about the Atma (the Self), pushes one millions of miles away from the absolute truth. Regardless of not having attained Atmagnan (Self-realization), if you can manage to understand the Self, through that which the Gnani Purush has himself Seen, Known and Experienced, you will be halted from traveling in the wrong direction. In this very book, the revered Dadashri, from his own Gnan, expresses as it is, how he has seen, known, and experienced the swaroop (nature; form) of the Atma and the swaroop of the world. And for those who progress on the spiritual path, it will prove very useful for understanding the Atma. The Gnani Purush’s speech flows naturally. It is dependent on the nimit (questioner) and on the circumstances. Should you come across any discrepancies or shortcomings in this book, it is an error in the compilation, made entirely on our part, and never in the words of the Gnani Purush. And for that, we pray for your forgiveness. - Dr. Niruben Amin 14
