4 Brahmcharya quickly attain the Self. One will be protected from the pains of the world and all bodily ailments. There will be no suffering of any kind. Questioner : Does brahmacharya not come under the non-Self? Dadashri : Yes, but it is the final balance and extract of the living body. Questioner : Then how does the extract of the non-Self, the living body, help the Self? Dadashri : The Self will only be attained through the attainment of the extract of the living body, the non-Self. This is always the case in the traditional spiritual Kramic path. Without this there is no progress and one will have difficulty in remembering and saying simple sentences of scriptures. Because the Gnan that I have given you is Akram (direct, step-less), this does not matter. Questioner : Does this mean that there is a connection between brahmacharya and the experience of the Self? Dadashri : Of course there is. That is the main point. With brahmacharya you can achieve whatever you want to. With brahmacharya your worldly aims will be accomplished. You will be able to follow your vows and commitments. There is ease of further progress in all directions. The extract of non- Self, brahmacharya is a very important.

The saints and sages in the olden days were very sincere and that is why they could talk and make people understand it.
