Spirituality in Speech: Gnani Purush Dadashri
()
About this ebook
Speech runs this world. It can be hurtful or helpful. It can make a heaven or hell in the home, workplace, or within a human being. Gnani Purush Dadashri says that, "Some women tell me they still bear scars in their chest from what their husbands said to them twenty or thirty years ago. What kind of a rock of speech was hurled that the wound still has not healed? Such wounds should not be inflicted." Gnani Purush Dadashri became enlightened in 1958, and since 1962 He has been revealing phenomenal understanding that is helpful to human beings in all matters of worldly interactions. He has also shown a very clear and easy path for spiritual progress and liberation.
Everyone has had experiences of serious hurt received from hurtful speech as well as pain caused to others by words that have been spoken to them. There is a science underlying this pain or pleasure effects through speech. Gnani Purush Dadashri unveils them with unprecedented clarity in this abridged version of the book. The original book on Speech compiled and produced by Atmagnani D. Niruben Amin is in Gujarati and is a large volume of more than 500 pages on the Science of Speech.
Dadashri says : Even when you pluck just one string, so many other words arise within out of having spoken just one word. That is what God calls ‘adhyavasan;’ it means that words arise even when you do not want to speak them. As soon as you have the desire to utter just one word, other words will formulate and be spoken automatically. A tremendous energy will arise within for the excessive words, even against your wish. So many such ripples of vibrations arise that they will not allow anyone to achieve liberation, which is why I have put forth this Akram Vignan. How wonderful this science of the step-less path to liberation is. This science is such that any intelligent person can bring an end to this worldly puzzle.
This book on Spirituality in Speech will help heal the terrible pains that human beings continue to suffer, life after life, due to hurt caused through speech.

These satsangs are now available in many different languages. Shuddha has been deeply involved in the process of finalization of the words of the Gnani Purush for the sole aim of conveying the deepest meanings in the heart of the Gnani Purush.

EDITORIAL
Each and every human being is involved in an incessant interaction of speech from the moment he wakes up. Some even talk in their sleep. There are two outcomes of speech interactions: sweet and bitter. Sweet interactions are easily swallowed but the bitter ones are not. The Gnanis are able to show us ways to accept both the bitter and sweet with equanimity. Gnani Purush Dadashri has given us countless solutions addressing situations that arise from speech interactions in this day and age.
Dadashri has been asked hundreds of thousands of questions, on all kinds of topics; from the subtle to the profound, from the straight to the ridiculous. He has answered them on the spur of the moment with complete satisfaction for the questioner. One can see and experience in his speech the unison of love, compassion and the ultimate truth.
Dadashri used to say to all who came to him, with love that, ‘Ask, ask and get all your puzzles solved. Ask anything and get your work done. If you do not understand, ask again and again without hesitation. If you do not understand it is not your mistake. It is the inadequacy of the person giving the answers.’
It would constitute deceit if, someone were to dismiss any question, claiming that the answer was too subtle for anyone to understand. People all too often dismiss questions to which they have no answers, by placing the blame on the seeker’s inability to understand.
If a person has heard or read any of Dadashri’s speech in detail, then he or she would, without fail, have a true representation of the Gnani who has absolute unity of the mind, speech and conduct; indeed the presence of an enlightened One. These people will also, without fail, learn to recognize that, which is not authentic.
In this publication, the reader will find solutions to problems that are created through the interaction of speech and will find ways to improve their speech if it is offensive and hurtful. The reader will also be enlightened about the ensuing consequences of merely having a single negative thought about someone. It will give deep insights into the many ways in which one can be free from conflicts that arise in and the outside the home, in all worldly relationships.
Dadashri gives us great insight into the fundamental and subtle principles that govern speech. He gives us great examples and practical solutions of how our interaction with our family and our peers through our speech can be made pure so that it hurts no one. The reader will feel Dadashri is talking about his own life with some of the illustrations Dadashri gives. His solutions reach the heart directly and lead to liberation.
It is extremely difficult to recognize a Gnani Purush. Expertise and skills are required in order to recognize a real diamond; in the same vein, a spiritual eye is necessary to recognize an enlightened One, Gnani Purush Dadashri. Dadashri’s speech which was uttered for only the salvation of the other person and nothing else will continue to give light on the path of liberation for generations to come. Such is the power behind the speech of a Gnani, that in a matter of just one hour, he bestows the experience of the Self upon the seeker.

NOTE ABOUT THIS TRANSLATION
Gnani Purush, Ambalal M. Patel, also commonly known as Dadashri or Dada, said it would not be possible to translate his satsang about the Science of Self-Realization and the art of worldly interaction, word for word into English. Some of the depth of meaning would be lost.
Dadashri did however grant his blessings to convey his teachings to the world, through translations in English and other languages.
This is a humble attempt to present to the world the essence of the teachings of Dadashri, the Gnani Purush. A lot of care has been taken to preserve the tone and message of the satsang. This is not a literal translation of his words. Many people have worked diligently for this work and we thank them all.
This is an elementary introduction to the vast treasure of his knowledge and teachings. Please note that any errors encountered in the translation are entirely those of the translators.
Please note that the numbers in brackets in the book represent the page numbers in the original book on Speech, which has more than 500 pages. The current book is the translation of the abridged version.
Introduction Of The Gnani
On a June evening in 1958 at around six o'clock, Ambalal Muljibhai Patel, a family man and a professional contractor, was sitting on a bench of the busy platform number three of Surat’s train station. Surat is a city in south Gujarat, a western state in India. What happened within the next forty-eight minutes was phenomenal. Spontaneous Self-Realization occurred within Ambalal M. Patel. During this event his ego completely vanished. From that moment onwards he became completely detached from all Ambalal’s thoughts, speech and actions; he became the Lord’s living instrument for the salvation of mankind, through the path of knowledge. He called this Lord, ‘Dada Bhagwan’. To everyone he met, he would say, This Lord, Dada Bhagwan is fully manifested within me. He also resides within you and all living beings. The difference is that within me, He is completely expressed and in you, he has yet to manifest.
Who are we? What is God? Who runs this world? What is karma? What is liberation? Etc. All of the world's spiritual questions were answered during this event. Thus nature offered absolute vision to the world through the medium of Shree Ambalal Muljibhai Patel.
Ambalal was born in Tarasali, a suburb of the city of Baroda and was raised in Bhadran, Gujarat. His wife’s name was Hiraba. Although he was a contractor by profession, his life at home and his interactions with everyone around him was exemplary, even prior to his Self-Realization. After becoming Self-Realized and attaining the state of a Gnani, (The Awakened One, ‘Jnani’ in Hindi), his body became a ‘public charitable trust.’
Throughout his entire life he lived by the principle that there
