Pure Love
Questioner: Wherever we were once attracted, will that
all become detached?
Dadashri: Yes, that is the way! These are all the steps.
Eventually one has to come to the state of the unattached, the

Questioner: Even the Gnani is unattached?
Dadashri: Yes. That is why our love is constant and the
same everywhere. It is equal for everyone. My love is the same
for those who insult me and for those who shower me with
flowers. There is no discrimination in my love and where the
love is not discriminating, the intellect disappears. Love destroys

embodiment of love, love incarnate. I have eternal love. I do
not have any attachment for this body. I have no attachment for
this speech. I have no attachment to this mind.

duality is of some benefit. It is when one goes way beyond
non-duality that one will arrive at the stage of the vitarag, the
