42 WHO AM I ? Questioner : What is ‘permanent’ happiness? Can you describe it? Dadashri : It is something that comes to you naturally; you do not have to make an effort for it. It remains permanently. There is no pain or misery. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE KRAMIC PATH AND THE AKRAM PATH Dadashri : I was asked to explain the difference between the Kramic and the Akram paths. I explained that in the Kramic path one is asked to stop doing bad deeds and do good deeds. He is essentially told to ‘do’ something in the Kramic path. You are told to get rid of your weaknesses of anger, pride, lust, and greed, and to turn towards good things. Is that not what you have come across so far? Akram on the other hand, means you do not have to ‘do’ anything. Nothing has to be done. Even when someone picks your pocket, in Akram science, the understanding is that, “He has not picked the pocket,” and “It is not my pocket,” whereas according to the Kramic path, the culprit would be blamed and the belief would be, “It is my pocket that he picked.” Akram Vignan is like the lottery. If you win the lottery, is there any effort on your part? So many people had purchased lottery tickets, yet you are the winner. Similarly, this Akram Vignan gives moksha right away, like ready cash. THE EXPERIENCE OF THE AKRAM PATH Questioner : Does one receive Akram Vignan because of his actions in his previous lives? Dadashri : Yes, that is the only way one is able to encounter me. It is because of his collective punyas of millions of lifetimes that he finds such a path.
