WHO AM I ?

duties, (i.e. without devoting your time exclusively towards the
attainment of liberation).
This is your ultimate passport. After this, such a passport
will no longer be available, because everything will come to an
end. Thereafter, only dharma (religion) will continue to remain.
Through dharma, one will gain punya (good karma) and fall
into the cycle of cause and effect (i.e. having to reap the benefits
of the punyas in the next birth and so forth). However, there is
also a higher risk that one may regress in spirituality.
THE ONE WHO MEETS ME IS QUALIFIED FOR
AKRAM GNAN
Questioner : For this simple path, do we not need to
have any qualifications?
Dadashri : Some people ask me, “Am I qualified to
receive this Akram Gnan?” I tell them, “Your meeting me is
your qualification.” This meeting is due to Scientific Circumstantial
Evidence. Therefore, anyone that meets me is qualified. Those
who do not meet me are not qualified. What is the reason
behind you meeting me? It is because of your qualification, that
this meeting takes place. However, after having met me, if one
does not achieve Self-Realization, then it is his obstructive karma
that prevents him from progressing further.
THE ULTIMATE GOAL
Questioner : Is this a shortcut of some kind?
Dadashri : Yes, this is definitely a shortcut. It is direct
and short.
Questioner : But what is the ultimate goal in all this?
Dadashri : The ultimate goal is to attain permanent
happiness, total independence, and freedom from bondage.
