If Mahabharata's Bhagvad-Gita is taken as a philosophical guide, Ramayana's Sundara Kãnda is sought for spiritual solace. What is more, many believe that reading Sundara Kãnda or hearing it recited would remove all hurdles and usher in good tidings! Well miracles apart, it's in the nature of Sundara Kãnda to inculcate fortitude and generate hope in one and all. After all, isn't it a depiction of how Hanuman goes about his errand against all odds! Again, won't it portray how Seetha, on the verge of selfimmolation, overcomes despair to see life in a new light? Besides, how Hanuman's Odyssey paves the way for Rama to rescue his kidnapped wife! One is bound to be charmed by the rhythm of the verse and the flow of the narrative in this sloka to sloka transcreation of Valmiki's adi kavya - the foremost poetical composition in the world. After all, it was the saga of Rama that inspired Valmiki the barbarian to spiritualize the same as Ramayana in classical Sanskrit!...

The book of Jonah is an exciting and continuous chain of surprises and providence from the beginning to end. These studies on Living Obediently stress those events and details which emphasize the necessity of obedience and how to claim victory over self-will....

THOUGH NUMBERED AMONG THE PROPHETS, the book of Jonah is more of a narrative than a prophecy. In fact, the only self-evident prophetic utterance in its four brief chapters is found in the form of a warning to the capital of Assyria—”Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown” (Jonah 3:4). Jonah abounds with interest, offering a continuous chain of surprises and providences from beginning to end. Numerous intervening events and details are readily skipped over, while only the facts that provide vital moral and spiritual instruction are retained. Unquestionably, the pinnacle truth the Holy Spirit would have us receive from the book is the importance of living obediently, claiming victory over self-will and carnality....

ALL that I have to say to thee, my venerable friend Christophilus, reduces itself to the serious and formal examination of one single point; which, in the present constitution or system of the church and the world, appears to me of the highest importance; viz. Whether the ideas which we entertain concerning the coming of Messiah, that essential and fundamental article of our religion, be true and just ideas, faithfully drawn from the divine testimony, or not....

The mother of Gnan is understanding and that understanding can be attained from the Gnani Purush. Understanding means Darshan. All You actually have to do is understand the Science. As the understanding sets in, One begins to become steady as the Self. After attaining Gnan, the veils over the Self break and the doership leaves. All the causes have dissipated, now only these effects remain. How are those effects to be suffered? For that, understand this Science! In this very lifetime, it is possible to stop the wrong conduct by developing Your understanding through Gnan. The Gnani Purush is considered the Lord of the three worlds, so what cannot be achieved there? Therefore, You should understand everything from the Gnani Purush. It is our ardent prayer that by undertaking this Purusharth (real spiritual effort to progress as the Self) of understanding the Science, mahatmas can climb the ladder of attaining the state of experience of the Self. ...

In Akram Vignan, the Self and the non-Self is separated through the Gnan (the Knowledge of the Self). A line of demarcation has been drawn between the two, which remains in the form of a conviction. Now, when can One experience separation from the self, from Chandubhai? In order for the separation to prevail with Chandubhai, the process of conversing with Chandubhai has definitely been proven effective; and in order to take this process to the level of experience, Dadashri has given a unique experiment in detail and that is of the mirror samayik (introspective analysis as the Self). The Self is like a mirror. Just like external things ‘reflect’ in a mirror, in the same way, the universe ‘reflects’ within the Self as well. Now, by understanding the mirror-like intrinsic functional properties of the Self, the experiment to see Chandubhai separate in the mirror, is a unique discovery by Dadashri. Dadashri says, “Just like when you are closely observing others; in the same way You should closely observe Chandubhai.” After seating Chandubhai in front of the mirror, you should tell him about as many mistakes as you can see for an hour, th...
