Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 You are invited to an introduction and experience of Dada Bhagwan's Akram Vignan Satsang with senior Mahatma Dr. Shirishbhai Patel in Australia Jai Sait Chit Anand The journey on the true spiritual path begins only after you come to know your real Self and achieve the awareness of a separation between your real Self and your relative self, also know as the non-self. This process is called Self-Realization. Upon Self-Realization, you are awakened to your real self, which is the soul within you. Thereafter, you become only the observer and the perceiver of everything that is around you and within you. You become the observer of your non-self. The mind, speech, body, actions etc., belong to the non-self and therefore you simply remain as the observer of all that is the non-self. This results in spiritual bliss and this experience remains throughout your life. The spiritual science of Akram Vignan allows you to achieve spirituality and experience inner bliss, peace and eternal happiness in this very life. This experience leads to the absolute and ultimate liberation. Akram Vignan is a Direct, short and simple path to Self-Realisation. Akram Vignan is the Knowledge of The Self-liberates one from Karma and cycles of birth and death. Akram Vignan is the experiential understanding of "Who am I?" And who runs the world? There is no need to change your daily routine - you lead your life as before, but with the right understanding. There is no need to change your guru if you have one and no need to get one if yiu do not have one! There is no cost for you to attain this understanding. No donation is solicited from you. This session will be include an open discussion if anyone would like ask questions, please feel free to ask.

Venue: 10 Endeavour Way (First floor) Woodlands Industrial Estate Braeside 3195 What is Enlightenment? Enlightenment is the knowledge and the understanding of the inherent qualities of the Soul (the true Self) as well as the non-soul (the non-self). The one, who knows the qualities or the natural attributes of the Self as well as the non-self and has been through the process of separation between the two, i.e. the Real Self and the relative self, is said to have acquired Enlightenment. Can enlightenment be acquired through Yoga, Meditation, Puja, Chanting Mantras or any other religious rituals? It is not possible to attain enlightenment through yoga, meditation, puja, chanting mantras or any religious rituals. Neither is it possible to attain it through ones own efforts. It is impossible for you to look for light as long as you believe darkness to be light; you will only understand darkness when someone shows you light. How can I attain permanent enlightenment (knowledge of the Soul)? Only a Self Enlightened Avatar, one who is the enlightened one, can give you Self realization or Self Enlightenment Just as you need a goldsmith to separate gold from a ring made from a mixture of gold and copper, you need a Gnani Purush to separate the Self from the non-self. The goldsmith is able to separate gold and copper because he knows the properties of each of the metals; similarly the Gnani knows the properties of the Soul as well as the non-soul. Only the Avatar (Gnani Purush) can separate the Self and the non-self for you. The separation of gold and copper is possible because the two metals are in the form of a mixture rather than a compound. Similarly, the Self and the non-self are in a mixture form and not a compound, which is exactly why it is possible to separate one element from the other. That is why the Avatar (Gnani Purush) is able to make a separation and make you understand your real Self. Is it possible for even a married person to acquire enlightenment so easily? The answer is yes, most definitely! There is such a way. You can acquire enlightenment even while living with your wife and fulfilling your marital, parental and other worldly duties. On the contrary, you will also have the freedom to do whatever you wish; you can go to the cinema, get your children married, wear beautiful clothes etc. What other guarantees do you need? All the freedom you want is yours. This path of Akram Vignan is a shortcut path to enlightenment and Self-realization. It does not require any efforts or sacrifices on your part. Dadashri, the Avatar (Gnani Purush) will give you your Soul in your hands, thereafter you will enjoy the bliss of the experience of your real Self. This path of Akram Vignan is the elevator path. Instead of climbing the stairs one step at a time as is the case in the traditional kramic path, all you have to do is sit in the elevator which will take you all the way to Moksha and what is more, you will not bind any new karma along the way! Is there another lifetime for me after Enlightenment through Akram Vignan (Gnan)? You have had a past life and you will also have a future life too. This enlightenment is such that it will give you Liberation (Moksha) in a couple of lifetimes. First comes the freedom from ignorance, from causal salvation (freedom from bondage new karmas), then comes the final liberation (Moksha), after a couple of lifetimes. Because of the present time-cycle you will still have at least one more birth to go. On the day the Gnani gives you Self realization through his spiritual ceremony called Gnan Vidhi, He severs the ropes of ignorance that have kept you bound for infinite lives and awakens your soul. The experience of a sense of freedom is enough. You should experience the awareness that you have been freed. This liberation is not fiction, a joke or hearsay; it is very real. What is liberation? Liberation is freedom from all bondage of karma. Liberation is to have no superior above you and no subordinate below you. Liberation is to experience your true Self. For infinite lives we have been held captive by the misery and suffering of this world due to our own karmas. Liberation is freedom from all these worldly miseries and suffering. There are two stages of Liberation: The first stage of liberation must be attained here and now. In this stage, there is the experience of freedom from within. There is inner peace, despite adverse external worldly circumstances. This state is liberation from the effects of all worldly sufferings and miseries. There is a sense of neutrality towards all ones problems and suffering. In fact a state of samadhi prevails even in the midst of suffering imposed by others or adverse external factors. Also in this first stage of liberation, there is complete freedom from the bondage of new karmas. This is the kind of liberation one must strive for and such a state of liberation is possible today, through Akram Vignan! The second stage of liberation (Moksha) is freedom from the cycles of birth and death. This final liberation is achieved when all karmas that weigh the Soul down, good and bad are completely discharged. How can liberation be achieved? True liberation can be achieved only by acquiring the knowledge and a true understanding of who you really are; the pure Soul (the Self). The enlightenment of the Self opens the path towards ultimate liberation. This enlightenment of the Self can be achieved through the process of Gnan Vidhi, which is a spiritual and a scientific process that is conducted with the grace of the Gnani Purush Dadashri, through the current self realized Gyani Pujya Deepakbhai Desai. What should be the goal of human beings? Liberation should be the only goal of human beings. How much longer do you want to keep wandering aimlessly? You have done only this for infinite lives. You have not left any place to wander. Why did you have to suffer such endless wanderings? It is because you have not known your true identity; you have not known the answer to Who Am I? Should you not know your real Self? In spite of your extensive wanderings of countless lives, you still do not know who you really are. Is making money your only goal in life? Should you not be making an effort towards your liberation? Is there not a need to become independent? How long can you remain in such bondage? No Effort Required For Self-Realization You can only attain liberation at the hands of a Gnani Purush, who is liberated himself. Only the one who is free can free others. The Gnani Purush Dadashri used to say Come and get your Liberation from me. However people are very skeptical; How can anybody give us liberation without any effort on our part? they ask. Contrary to all the traditional paths that require a life of strict discipline and austerities, this path of Akram Vignan mandates no pre-requisites on the part of the seeker. Everything is done by the Gnani Purush and His grace. Experiencing Liberation (Moksha) In Your Daily Life Is such freedom or liberation experienced while one is living or does this freedom come after death? What is the point of having freedom after you are dead? This is how people become conned into promises of Liberation (Moksha) after death and become trapped. You should experience liberation right here and now. Otherwise how can we be sure whether there is such a thing as Liberation? Liberation (Moksha) after death is like borrowed Moksha. One cannot depend upon things that are borrowed. You need to have Moksha in your hands, like ready cash. You should be able to experience Moksha while you are alive. So in reality, who is it that attains Liberation (Moksha)? The one that is bound and the one that suffers from being bound is the one that seeks liberation. It is the ego that suffers the pain of bondage, so it is this very ego that wants to be liberated. However unless ignorance about ones real Self is removed, the ego cannot be liberated. This ignorance is lifted in the Gnan Vidhi and the ego is liberated. Only Gnan Can End All Misery This world is trapped in the ocean of suffering. What creates this suffering? It stems from the ignorance about the identity of ones real Self. All suffering in this world is because of this very ignorance. This ignorance leads to relentless attachment and abhorrence, the consequence of which is nothing but relentless suffering. Only Self-realization can cure this suffering, there is no other remedy.
