Simple and Effective Science for Self-realization

Real Progress toward the Self Begins with Following the
Agnas
When I gave you Gnan, You (the Self) became separate
from the non-Self (prakruti). “I am Shuddhatma” is the Self
(Purush) and following the Five Agnas after that is real
purusharth.
Questioner: Please explain the difference between the
real spiritual effort (purusharth) and the relative spiritual effort
(purusharth).
Dadashri: In real purusharth, nothing needs to be
done. The difference between the two is that real purusharth
means to “See” and to “Know.” And what does relative
purusharth mean? It means to have inner intent (bhaav), “This
is what I will do!”
The spiritual effort you were doing as ‘Chandubhai’ was
an illusory purusharth. But when You do the purusharth as “I
am Shuddhatma,” and remain in Dada’s Five Agnas, that is
real purusharth.
Questioner: The seed of Gnan (Self-knowledge) that
you sowed, is that the light (prakash)?
Dadashri: That is the One! But it is in the form of the
second day of lunar fortnight (beej). Now it will gradually
become full moon (poonam). Real purusharth begins from the
moment the non-Self complex (pudgal) and the Self (Purush)
become separate. Yes, when real purusharth (following the
Five Agnas) begins, it will take one from second day of the
moon to full moon. That happens when One follows the Agnas.
One does not have to do anything else at all. Nothing is to be
done except follow the Agnas.
