Through Darshan of the Gnani, One Attains Darshan of One’s Own Self The manifestation of a Gnani Purush who prevails in a state of continuous freedom from the mind-speech-body is a great marvel of this era of the time cycle. The Gnani who moves about without being bound by matter, location, time, inner intent, and worldly existence, who continuously prevails in His own natural state as the Self; it is worth doing the darshan of such a Gnani Purush. But what should that darshan be like? It is if one truly recognizes and does darshan that it will be of use. Is it an easy thing to recognize the Gnani Purush? It is, in fact, when the heart becomes pure enough that recognition takes place. In the current edition, special understanding will be attained on what is darshan, whose darshan should be done, stanzas on darshan of the Gnani and Dada, with which vision should the Gnani be seen, darshan through the intellect versus the heart, the true method of doing darshan with oneness, what is acquired through true darshan, change that comes about merely through darshan, and other subject matter. Dadashri used to say that for us, there are three days that are of the utmost importance: the Hindu New Year’s Day, Gurupurnima, and Janmajayanti. On those days, Dada does not engage in any worldly interaction. The Gnani Purush is one with Dada Bhagwan as the complete state as the Self, and on that day, one receives utmost benefit through darshan. Simply upon seeing the manifest Self, one becomes that state, the energies manifest within. Through Him, one is to do darshan of one’s own Self. Now that you have received the Knowledge of the Self from the manifest Gnani Purush Dada Bhagwan, do true darshan of His, attain his grace, get your work done in this life, and progress on the path of moksha; that is the only ardent prayer.
