Dadashri : Nothing except that I constantly remained
sincere towards the vitarag Lords and towards Lord Krishna.
I had no interest in the worldly life. I have never been greedy
about anything. From my very birth, greed was not in my nature.
As children we used to visit big gardens; they had all kinds of
fruit trees; pomegranate, apples, oranges etc. The other children
would bring back a lot of fruits but not me. I was never inclined
to collect anything. But at the same time I had so much pride
that I felt there was no one like me in this world and only I
know how much that pride hurt me.
Questioner : What was it like for you, before this Gnan?
Dadashri : I had a feeling that I would attain the right
vision of the Self. I had figured out what the true essence was
from all the books I had read. I did understand it all and was
convinced that the tirthankaras, the vitaragas are real and that
their doctrine is absolutely correct. This was my spiritual search
from endless past lives. My worldly religious conduct was like
that of both a Vaishnav and a Jain. In some situations it was
Vaishnav-like, while in others it was Jain-like. I always drank
boiled water, even at work. Even you as a Jain would not have
done that. But that is not the reason why this Gnan manifested.
The Gnan manifested as a result of many other evidences coming
together. Otherwise this phenomenon is not possible; the Akram
science would not have expressed. This Akram science is the
collective science of all the past twenty-four tirthankaras. This
science is now the final opportunity for those who were not able
to attain the Self when they were in the presence of the twenty-
four tirthankaras.
The One with an Honest Heart Found The Real Thing
Questioner : How did Akram Gnan manifest within
you? Did it occur naturally by itself or did you have to meditate
for it?
