Do not rush to answer questions about Gnan
You will have to attain the understanding through ‘the
understanding (samjan) of the Gnani Purush’; “parallel to
parallel”. Otherwise, the ‘railway line’ will be lost. You do not
have to apply your own understanding. There is no understanding
whatsoever within, is there? Not even an iota of understanding
is within. You are not to apply your own understanding in all this
anyway. You do not have any understanding at all. You would
have become God if you had.
Questioner: If people ask questions and we give
answers and clarifications, what is wrong in doing that?
Dadashri: To give clarification to a question is a different

awareness has to take hold within, as an experience (parinaam).
After the awareness has taken hold, and you have gained the
experience, then a long time after that, the clarifications
(khulasa) you give will be helpful. Otherwise those clarifications
will become mis-clarifications, and your Gnan will go down. It
will become intellectual (buddhigamya) in nature.
Before you even attempt to answer any questions, all
