WHO AM I ?

has to sit and repeat what I say, exactly as it is being spoken.
[The awareness of “Who am I?” is attained after a two-hour
process, of which, the first 48 minutes consists of repeating
sentences of bhed vignan (Science of separation), which
separate the Self and the non-self. After that, there is a period
of an hour during which you will be explained the five aagnas
(cardinal principles) with examples to illustrate and clarify. You
will be shown how to conduct your life so that you do not
charge new karma. And you will then know how to dissipate
your past karma smoothly. The awareness that you are pure
soul will remain constantly.]
NEED A GURU OR A GNANI ?
Questioner : What should one do if he already has a
guru prior to meeting Dada?
Dadashri : You can still go to him. However, if you do
not wish to go, it is not mandatory. You must respect him. After
taking Gnan, some people ask me whether they ought to leave
their previous guru. I tell them that they should not, because it
was the guru who helped them reach the point at which they
are now. It was the guru who helped them live a respectable
life. Without a guru there would be no purity in life. You can
also tell your guru that you are going to meet a Gnani Purush.
Some people even bring their guru to meet me. The guru too,
wants Moksha (liberation). Without a guru you cannot get the
knowledge of the worldly life and even the knowledge of moksha
cannot be attained without a guru. The guru is needed for the
worldly life and the Gnani Purush is needed for moksha.
