does it mean when they say there should be one guru? It means
that one guru is needed for the kindergarten level, one for the
first standard, one for the second standard etc. The person who
goes to college will need twenty-four gurus and the one going to
graduate school-university level will need to become a disciple
of the whole world. That is why ‘we’ have become a disciple
of the whole world. This will be the case for the upper level
college. But before that, how long should a person have only
one guru? One guru is fine for the levels of the kindergarten, the
first standard, the second standard; one guru will suffice for the
lower standards where children are taught ‘for the time being,
do only this much and do not look anywhere else’. Otherwise,
everything will be ruined. In this way they establish a base for
them. Then as the standards progress, they have to make the
whole world their guru. The lower standards have to make only
one guru. If a person tells me, ‘Sir I have made one guru’, then
I would understand right away that he is in the second standard.
I will tell him, ‘You are right.’ Does that answer your question?
Questioner: Yes, it does.
Dadashri: Ultimately, it is worth making every living
being on the earth your guru. What did Lord Mahavir do? He
made every living being of this world his guru and he lived as
their disciple. That is because there is always something to learn
from every living being.
The precise manner in which Akram Vignan
arose
This Akram Science of ‘ours’ is one which I have come
to learn from you all and you tell me, ‘You are giving us the
Knowledge.’ This Akram Vignan is not to be found in books so
where did it come from? It has come from everyone. They left
their (gnan) knowledge for me and took other gnan with them.
They left behind the gnan they could not digest and took with
them the knowledge they could. So all that gnan, which they
