could not digest accumulated with ‘me’ and that Gnan came to
manifest as Akram.
Questioner: But did such Akram Vignan come out of
worthless people like us?
Dadashri: No, not worthless. It was the gnan that you
could not digest, it lay around, it all came to me here; and you
took from here, all that you could digest. So the full Gnan; “the
full stop Gnan” (the absolute knowledge) came to me!
Now how can people understand this talk? The educated
(bhanela) and the wise (ganela) will understand this but others
will not. This is not for those other poor people, is it? This is

listen to it.
Know the State of the Gnani
No body actually touches my feet although they seem to
think they are. ‘I’ do not remain in this body even for a minute;
‘I’ have not been in this body for a moment in the past twenty-
five years. People, on the other hand, are constantly in the state
of ‘I am this body. This hand is me, this leg is me, this head is
also me and all this is me too.’
‘I’ remain absolutely separate from this mind, body and
speech. So if someone was to insult or strike ‘this’ (the body;
non-Self), ‘I’ (Self) will not have any problems, will ‘I’? People
do not know ‘me’ so how can they insult ‘me’? Those who
know me, know me as the Parmatma (Absolute Self), so they
would never insult me or behave negatively towards me. People
know me either as A. M. Patel or they know me as a guru. But
I am not any one’s guru. I am a laghutam Purush. I am what
people call ‘Gnani’. As a Gnani, ‘I’ am absolutely laghutam.
‘We’ have attained this state because ‘we’ do not have
any beggary. The state that is the highest of all, the greatest state
