Dadashri: Gnan is endless. However, there is no other Gnan (knowledge) beyond that which the Vitarags have conquered. The Vitarag never loses. Perhaps, at times, the body loses, the mind loses or the speech loses, but never the Vitarag. The Vitarags are so wise! The religion of the Vitarag is based on siddhant (irrefutable principles of Self-realisation), which is why it yields immediate results (‘cash’ fruit). It gives you the ‘cash’ fruit of moksha!

The Lord, who is the giver of moksha, is impartial (nishpakshapati). The Vitarag Bhagwan within you is impartial. A Vitarag religion is a religion that is 360 degrees, which means that it is a complete religion. It is a true religion, it has substance, and it is impartial. There is nothing wrong in partiality because it will keep you in a ‘standard’, whereas impartiality is ‘out of standard’. ‘This’ (Akram Vignan) is a science; it is not a religion. The Hindu religion, the Jain religion and Christianity are all religions. There is only one science, but there are many religions.

The Limitations Of Relative Religion

Dadashri: The religions of the world are ‘relative’ religions, which help in ‘relative’ matters. They help direct you towards the ‘real’.
Questioner: Dada, what are the limitations of the relative religion that you speak of?

Dadashri: Whatever you experience through your five senses is within the prescribed limits of the ‘relative’.
Questioner: Does the ‘relative’ have any connection with the ‘real’?

Dadashri: Of course, it does! It is because of the ‘real’ that the relative came about. It is because of its affiliation to the ‘real’ that the ‘relative’ has arisen. This has created a phase. And the phase that has come about is temporary.
Questioner: As long as one has not attained the ‘real’, is there a need for the ‘relative’?

Dadashri: Until one attains the ‘real’, everything is ‘relative’. Only after one attains the ‘real’, does the ‘relative’ become separated.

The “Thermometer” Of Real Religion

Dadashri: What do you do nowadays?
Questioner: I am reading the books of Shrimad Rajchandra (also known as Krupadudev, the Gnani Purush of the Kramic path who became enlightened) and studying religion.

Dadashri: Just reading books will not do anything. Where that is concerned, you must be free of all kashays (anger, pride, deceit, greed). If you heard someone say, ‘Chandubhai has no sense’, would you feel hurt? Would it affect you?
Questioner: Yes.

Dadashri: So, those words have hurt you. Understand that as long as words hurt you, you have not attained religion at all. It is fine, if you are hurt from being struck by a rock; you can easily treat the wound. However, feeling hurt from words is not the fruit of real religion. The fruit of religion is when words do not hurt you. Should you not have something that indicates how much your fever has gone up or down?
