Note About This Translation
Gnani Purush Ambalal M. Patel, popularly known as
Dadashri or Dada or Dadaji, used to say that it is not possible
to exactly translate his satsang on the Science of Self-Realization
and the art of worldly interaction, into English. Some of the depth
and intent of meaning to be conveyed to the seeker, would be
lost. He stressed the importance of learning Gujarati to precisely
understand all his teachings.
Dadashri did however grant his blessings to convey his
original words to the world through translations in English and
other languages. It was his deepest desire and fervor that the
suffering human beings of the world attain the living freedom of
the wonderful Akram Vignan that expressed within him. He further
stated that a day would come when the world would be in awe
of the phenomenal powers of this science.
This is an humble attempt to present to the world the
essence of the teachings of Dadashri, the Gnani Purush. A lot of
care has been taken to preserve the tone and message of his
words. This is not a literal translation of his words. Many
individuals have worked diligently for this product and we remain
deeply thankful to them all.
This is an elementary introduction to the vast new treasure
of his teachings. Please note that any errors committed in the
translation are entirely those of the translators and for those we
request your pardon.
