gentleman who was my attendant, who sat beside me at the time, also attained moksha. This Akram Vignan that has manifested is something quite amazing!
The Gnani Cultivates The Self's Energy
Questioner: When we do Charan Vidhi (the special inner blessings received by direct touching of the feet of the Gnani with the forehead) at Your feet, what does it really mean?
Dadashri: The Charan Vidhi separates the Self from the non-Self within, thus bliss expresses within. All weaknesses (kashays) go away. There is tremendous energy (shakti) at the feet of the Gnani.
Can Gnani Be Compared with Anyone? Questioner: Is there no comparison to a Gnani?
Dadashri: There is no comparison to a Gnani. Who is a Gnani? Not everyone is considered a Gnani. One is a Gnani if he does not have the slightest ownership of the mind, of the speech or of the body; he who constantly remains as the Self and he who does not have even a trace of ego.
Questioner: Does the Gnani have the highest humility (namrata)?
Dadashri: Even an ordinary person has humility, but the Gnani does not have an ego at all. There is no ego, even when someone insults him.
Questioner: Does the Gnani have no interest (nispruha)?
Dadashri: The Gnani is not nispruha. There are many people who are nispruhi. There are many who say, “I do not need anything,” but that is an ego of not having interest. The Gnani Purush is saspruha-nispruha, which means that he is uninterested in material pleasure and interested only in the Self (saspruha).
