Special notes to readers
♦
The word Self, with 'S', refers to the awakened Soul,
which is different from the worldly soul (non-awakened self),
written with 's'. The term Shuddhatma (pure Soul) is used by
the Gnani Purush for the awakened Self, after the Gnan Vidhi.
Similarly, any word in the middle of a sentence, with
capitalized first letter, or in inverted comas at the beginning of
the sentence, refers to the awakened Self. This is an important
distinction for the correct understanding of the difference
between the awakened Self and the non-awakened self.
♦
Seeker - refers to a questioner who has not attained
Dada's Gnan, so all Dadashri's answers under that are in
response to them.
Otherwise:
Questioner - refers to those who have attained Dada's
Gnan of the Akram Path.
♦
Wherever the name 'Chandubhai' is mentioned, the
reader should substitute his or her name.
♦
Numbers in parenthesis i.e. refer to the page number in
the original book in Gujarati from which text was translated.
