Special note to the reader The Self is the Soul (Atma) within all living beings.
The term pure Soul is used by the Gnani Purush for the awakened Self, after the Gnan Vidhi. The word Self, with an uppercase 'S', refers to the awakened Self which is separate from the worldly-interacting self, which is written with a lowercase “s'.
Wherever Dadashri uses the term “we”, “us”, or “our”, He is referring to Himself, the Gnani Purush.
Similarly, the use of You or Your in the middle of a sentence, with an uppercase first letter, or “You', 'Your' in single quotes at the beginning of the sentence, refers to the state of the awakened Self or Pragnya. This is an important distinction for the correct understanding of the difference between the awakened Self and the worldly-interacting self.
Wherever the name 'Chandubhai' is used, the reader should substitute his or her name and read the matter accordingly.
The masculine third person pronoun 'he' and likewise the object pronoun ‘him’ have been used for the most part throughout the translation. Needless to say, 'he’ includes ‘she' and 'him' includes ‘her'.
For your reference, a glossary of all the Gujarati words is either provided at the back of the book or available on our website at:

While reading this English translation, if you feel there is any contradiction or discrepancy, then it is the mistake of the translators and the understanding of the matter should be clarified with the living Gnani to avoid misinterpretation.
