attain liberation (moksha) one will need invisible penance
(adeetha tapa).
Questioner: Can one attain liberation through chanting
or through the path of Knowledge (Gnan)?
Dadashri: Rituals give peace in the worldly life. Chanting
that pacifies the mind gives worldly peace. But there is no
liberation (moksha) without Self-knowledge (Gnan). With
ignorance there is bondage; with knowledge there is liberation.
The knowledge that prevails in the world currently is knowledge
of the senses (indriya gnan). It is the illusion (bhranti). Exact
Self-knowledge (Self-realization) is knowledge beyond the
senses (atindriya).
Whoever wants to attain liberation does not need to
perform rituals (actions). Whoever wants material happiness, he
needs to perform rituals. The one who wants to attain liberation
(moksha), he needs two things: Gnan Vidhi and Gnani’s Agnas.
Gnani Purush Can Make One Realize “I”
Questioner: You tell us that we should realize who we
are, so how can we do that?
Dadashri: You have to come to me. You have to say that
you want to know who You are, so that I can help you do that.
Questioner: How is it possible to understand and realize
the real “I” when we are living in this worldly life?
Dadashri: Where else are you going to realize the real
“I”? Is there any other place besides this world where one can
live? Everyone in this world must live in it. It is here in this world
that you can know your real Self. This is the science of
understanding “Who am I?” Come to me and I will make you
realize your true Self.
