Bliss

Everyone wants to be happy, yet the entire world is trapped in misery. There is no happiness in the worldly life. Whatever happiness one feels is worldly happiness. Worldly happiness is perceived happiness; no one ever perceives it the same, it is temporary and its so-called existence is dependent upon other external factors. What is more, worldly happiness brings unhappiness also. Real happiness, on the other hand is happiness that is permanent, it is accepted by all equally and one that is completely independent.

Such happiness is really bliss. Bliss is a superlative state that is far beyond any worldly happiness. This bliss is also sometimes referred to as God bliss, spiritual bliss or bliss of spirituality. This bliss is nowhere else to be found but within us. This bliss is the Soul within us and what is more, this Soul is our real Self; the Soul is who we are. Spiritual bliss is continuous, uniform and eternal. Spiritual bliss is not dependent upon any thing. We do not have to strive for the experience of the spiritual bliss because bliss is the innate nature of the soul. The soul is the abode of God bliss; this bliss in inexhaustible. Bliss is our true nature. We simply have to realize this by way of Self realization. Once we realize our true nature, no power on earth can take it away from us. Upon attaining Self realization, we become liberated from the power that has kept us in bondage to the worldly life; the power being our ignorance of our real Self.

The realization of our true Self can only come through the grace and the spiritual powers of a living enlightened Gnani Purush. A Gnani Purush is the enlightened one who dwells in the self and constantly experiences the bliss of the Self. Only such a one has the spiritual energies and powers to bestow upon us Self realization. Those who seek Self realization will indeed be delighted to learn that currently there is such a living Gnani amongst us. Not only this but the path of Self realization He brings to us is the short-cut path hence the bliss of spirituality and bliss experience is acquired within two hours! There are no prerequisites to acquire this because in the true path there should be no restrictions to acquiring that which is rightfully yours. The only missing link that stood between us and our bliss experience was the presence of a living Gnani Purush. The greatest Gnani Purush that walked the face of this earth is the Gnani Purush A. M. Patel. He is the master spiritual scientist of the science of Akram Vignan. He has indeed made it possible for all who seek Self realization and spiritual bliss to attain it within only two hours! Never before has the world known and experienced such a spiritual science. It is the true path to Self realization and it is yours by right. All you have to do is ask the current living Gnani of this path, and he will give you the bliss experience of your real Self.

The Key To Peace In Life

Everyone lives life, but real living is only if their life is free of conflicts.

In the current time cycle of Kaliyug bickering and clashing starts in the home from the time of breakfast, so what remains to be said about the rest of the day ? Even in the past time cycles of Satyug, Dwapar and Tretayug, conflicts were present in the homes of prominent people. Even people of purity, such as the Pandavas spent their entire life planning a battle with the Kavravas. Shri Ramchandraji, who was exiled in the forest, had nothing but conflict and friction from the time Sita was abducted, to the point of the Ashvamegh Yagna. Nevertheless, they all overcame conflicts in their lives with spiritual knowledge, and that verily was their special power.

The prime source of all conflicts in life is misunderstanding. ‘You are the root cause of all your miseries’, this statement of Dadashri divulges the very root cause of all miseries with such profoundness, that no one could ever imagine.

If a person continues to paddle his boat of life without deciding on his destination, how can he ever embark on the right course? He will get tired from paddling, give up, and ultimately drown midway in the ocean. Therefore it is very necessary to first decide the destination. Life without a goal is synonymous to keeping an engine running idle. If you want the ultimate goal, then libertion should be that goal. But, if you want something in between, and you do not have happiness in your life, then at least make your life free of conflicts.

Every morning you should sincerely pray five times, ‘I do not want to hurt any living being in the slightest extent, with this mind, speech, or body,’ and despite doing this, if you happen to hurt anyone, then you should sincerely repent and take a vow that you will not hurt anyone again. By doing this, you will wash away your bad deeds and your life will truly become peaceful.

The bickering and quarrelling between parents and children can only be resolved through understanding. Primarily it is the parents who must understand. Excessive attachment will result in a lot of friction and suffering, creating more problems for both the parties involved. You have to fulfill all of your worldly obligations, but by no means are you to perpetuate the merry go round of attachment. Dadashri has clarified and given us tremendous inner understanding, of the interactions between children and parents. This knowledge has resulted in tremendous improvement in family life.

Despite the love that exists between husbands and wives, there are also tremendous inner conflicts and overt quarrels between the two. They are so trapped by their need for security in each other, that despite their internal conflicts and quarrels, they continue to live as husband and wife. Through a very informal and jovial approach, Dadashri gives us ways by which husband and wife can attain ideal interactions with each other.

Dadashri also gives us the keys to prevent conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, a master and a servant, a businessman and his customers, and between business partners.

Many aspirants who seek true knowledge do not attain it because they give importance only to the soul and disregard their worldly life. This one-sided approach renders their knowledge infertile. Real Gnanis, like Dadashri have traversed the spiritual realms by maintaining a parallel between both the worldly, as well as the spiritual life. He has given thousands of seekers, the ultimate understanding of matters regarding both the worldly and the spiritual life, and within them, instilled tremendous awareness of the two.

In this short compilation we have put together examples, which have come through the power of Dadashri’s speech, whereby we can live an ideal life. Seekers desirous of more detailed and extensive solutions for their worldly life should do so through the detailed and extensive compilation of Dada’s books. Books such as, ‘Generation Gap,’ ‘Harmony in Marriage,’ ‘Speech in Worldly Interactions,’ ‘Money in Worldly Interactions,’ etc., are books which undoubtedly will bring peace in one’s life.

ENLIGHTENMENT RELIGION

‘What is Religion?’ It is anything that remains in and results in its own intrinsic properties. Religion means one’s intrinsic nature and properties. For example, when can you call gold, gold? It is only when it exhibits the properties that are intrinsic to gold. Another example is if these grapes are bitter, then you could say that it does not exhibit its intrinsic property. Brass can look and shine just like gold if it is polished enough. But if a goldsmith were to test it, he would be able to tell that it is not gold from the intrinsic properties of that metal.

Similarly you can say that a thing is in its innate nature, good religion, if it exhibits its innate nature. The belief of ‘I am the body’, or to believe the body, the non-self, to be your real identity is non-religion (religion of another). To believe the Self (Soul) as the Self is own-religion. That is Enlightenment Religion, religion of the Self.

Who do you think created this world? The Christians, the Muslims, the Hindus, say that God created this world. They are correct by their viewpoints, but according to facts, they are incorrect. If you want to know the facts, I can give them to you.

A circle has 360 degrees. Christians, Parsis, Muslims, Hindus etc., all have different viewpoints. One is sitting at 80 degrees, one at 120 degrees, and one at 220 degrees. Everyone sees through his or her own perspective and viewpoint. I am sitting in the center, having completed 360 degrees, as a fully enlightened being. A Gnani Purush, sitting in the center, can see and know things exactly as they are and can impart that knowledge to others exactly as it is. All religions are correct but they are relative religions. They are religions of viewpoints. But if one wants to know the facts, then he will have to come to the center. Only in the center will one find the Real religion (religion of the Soul, Enlightenment Religion). Only the one in the center that can see all points of view and therefore is without any prejudice or bias towards any religion. That is why I say that I am Lord Mahavir of the Jains, Lord Krishna of the Vaishnavas, Sahajanand of the Swaminarayans, Christ of the Christians, Zarthustra of the Parsis and Khuda of the Muslims. So anyone may come here and receive whatever he wants. I am the God of all religions. So get your work done here. I can bestow upon you the status of God within an hour but you have to be ready for it.

As people continue to read scriptures, interpreting them with their own intellect and imagination (svachhand), their obstinacy increases; this in turn makes their veils of ignorance (avaran) denser over the self. If reading scriptures enlightens you, then why do you still stumble? People only stumble in the dark, how can one stumble in the light? If you claim to have knowledge, have any of your worries decreased as a result? On the contrary, your confusion about what is right and what is wrong has increased along with your doubts and uncertainty. And where there is uncertainty, suspicion takes hold. Where there is suspicion, ignorance prevails. The Self does not remain where there are doubts and suspicions. Gnan is that which makes one completely free of doubts.

Gnan is such that it will not disturb the stillness of even a single atom within the body. Doubts or suspicion is the enemy of the Self. It will make you ‘throw away the Soul’ (loose all spirituality). Therefore any doubts or suspicions that surface should be ripped out from their root. Once Self-realization is acquired and you become firmly established in the awareness of the Self, is there anything that can shake you? Is there anything in this world that can snatch away from you what is intrinsically your own?

Many of us have faithfully adhered to religious rituals. We have surrendered ourselves to strict penance, fasting, meditation, and other such austerities, only to discover that we still make mistakes through our minds, our speech, and our conduct. Why have we not found internal peace? What should we do when we realize our faults and how should we get rid of them? There should be some method through which we can eliminate kashays from our lives, and progress spiritually toward liberation. Surely there must be a way to live happily with peace and love. What spiritual knowledge have the Vitarag Lords (the supreme enlightened beings) bestowed upon the world? What is True Enlightenment Religion? Is there any assurance that one can be absolved for the sins he commits? And if there is such a method, why is it not evident?

One can attain an abundance of knowledge from scriptures, but why can he not incorporate it into his daily life. Ascetics and spiritual teachers continue to preach, but where do they fall short in getting the desired results? Practically every religion mandates stringent rituals and austerities, yet why does the aspirant not achieve any results? Why do his kashays not decrease or his sins erase? Doesn’t the liability for all this fall upon the heads of religion? This statement is not made with any malice, it is made with compassion. There should be some way to eliminate our problems. What have the Gnanis and the Tirthankars said about one’s progress from the state of ignorance to the attainment of Absolute Knowledge? How can we be liberated from the bondage of our past karmas and the bondage created through our inherent attachment and abhorrence?

Many scriptures contain profound knowledge about the reality of this universe. However, this knowledge can only be obtained through words. The scriptures cannot take you beyond this point. Only someone who has lived through a similar experience and has expert knowledge on how to do so can mend shattered lives.

Many people claim their daily life interactions (vyavahaar) is their dharma (Enlightenment Religion). But you cannot say that until you are Self-realized (nischay dharma). How can you say that your worldly life is your Enlightenment Religion if you do not have the knowledge of your (real) Self? The Gnani uses his infinite powers to create a line of demarcation between the real (the Self) and the relative (non-self), and after that it will always keep them separate. Then they are eternally separate. Thereafter, your worldly interactions become your relative religion and the activity of the Self is your real Enlightenment Religion. It is only then that you understand the difference between the two. The Gnani will separate the territory of the Real from the relative and you will inherently come to understand what belongs to your real Self and what belongs to your relative self. How can anyone claim vyavahaar dharma (the worldly life) until he acquires nischay dharma (the real)? Until then it is regarded as laukik dharma (worldly or relative religion).

Worldly religion means religion believed by the worldly people. Worldly religions teach people to get rid of bad habits and develop good ones. They teach you to do merit karma and avoid demerit karma. Such religions teach people not to steal or lie and to conduct themselves in a way that will bring them happiness and peace. According to the world, real Enlightenment Religion is doing good deeds, but I call that relative religion. With such religions you are bound for a birth in one of following four life forms: celestial, human, animal or hell.

Relative religion is to move from bad towards the good. Real Enlightenment Religion is to move from good to the absolutely pure. If you want liberation you will have to embrace the real religion. In real religion you become free from the good and the bad, the pleasant and the unpleasant, the right and the wrong. The religion of the Self is the only True Enlightenment religion. It is a non-worldly religion. All other religions that focus on the physical body and its actions are relative religions; they are the religions of the non-self, they are worldly religions. There are no boundaries or sects in real religion, no flags to fly, no conflicts of opinions, nothing to renounce or accumulate. In the real religion there is no partiality towards anything.

People want liberation and yet they engage in conflicts and difference of opinions, and take sides. By claiming you are right, you automatically say that the other person is wrong. You will never achieve liberation by saying anyone is wrong. You will only attain the abode of the supreme Self, which is void of any partiality, when you get rid of your differences of opinions, discord, and sectarianism and come to the center.

To do your duty, means to make preparation for liberation, your Enlightenment Religion.
