This book gives information on various topics concerning
gurus and disciples; information related to what the subtle
awareness of the disciple should be. How should a guru behave
towards the disciples so that it benefits him as well as the
disciples in their spiritual progress? How should the disciple
conduct himself with the guru? When should a disciple make a
guru so that he may attain knowledge and experience? What
kind of weaknesses must a guru not have so that he is strong
enough to help his disciple progress? How is one to find the
kind of devotion Eklavya had for his guru in this day and age?
Through Gnani Purush Dadashri, we get answers to questions
asked to him regarding whether as a Gnani he had a guru,
whether he had disciples, what kind of a state does he move
around in, etc.
According to common knowledge, people consider a guru,
a satguru and a Gnani as one and same, whereas here in this
book, Dadashri gives us a clear distinction between the three.
How can one walk the spiritual path without the one who
is already familiar with that path? To be familiar means to be a
guide.
Here, in this book, you gain knowledge and understanding
of what the leader of the path of moksha – the ultimate guru –
should be like.
With the aim and the vision that both guru and his
disciple can go forth on the path of liberation, Dadashri, who
while moving around in the supreme spiritual state as the Gnani,
gives various visions and understanding regarding the guru-
disciple relationship. There was no one more humble than He
was. The understanding given to us by way of the Gnani’s
speech is presented here, which will become a guide to all
traveling the path of liberation.
