whom the awareness of Shuddhatma is established, cannot remain here in the Bharat Kshetra (our world). The rule is that the one who acquires the awareness of the Soul goes to Mahavideh Kshetra. He does not remain in this Dusham Kaal (current time cycle). With one or two more lifetimes in Mahavideh Kshetra, after the darshan of the Tirthankar Shri Simandhar Swami, one attains moksha. Such is the simplicity and ease of this path. Stay in my aagnas. Aagnas represent religion and penance. You have to settle all your files with equanimity. Stay in the aagnas as much as possible. The State of Lord Mahavir can be yours if you abide by them constantly. Look at the relative and look at the Real, and your chit will not wander. However, the mind will still erupt with new thoughts, which will cause puzzles.

 

If after this Gnan, you follow the five aagnas, you will be in bliss, just as Lord Mahavir was. I live with the same bliss. I am showing you this path, the very path that I have walked. Your spiritual awakening in the Real realm is same as mine.

 

(13) THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FIVE AAGNAS

 

SPIRITUAL PRACTICE AFTER GNAN

 

Questioner : What should one do spiritually after this Gnan?

 

Dadashri : The only endeavor is to follow the five aagnas. One should not have any other endeavors. All other endeavors cause bondage. These five aagnas release you from bondage.

 

BLISS WITH AGNAS

 

Questioner : Is there anything higher than your five aagnas?

 

Dadashri : These five aagnas are a fence protecting your priceless treasure. If you have a fully enclosed fence, nobody can take away the priceless treasure that I have given you. If this fence of five aagnas becomes weak then, chances are, someone will enter and spoil the contents. Then I have to come and repair the fence. So if you stay within the five aagnas, I guarantee your eternal bliss.

 

These five aagnas are given for your protection. I have given you the Gnan and the knowledge of separation. But in order for this separation to prevail, I give you the five aagnas for further protection. This age is that of kaliyug (deceit, dark age), and without protection, you are likely to be robbed of this invaluable treasure of Gnan. For the seed of Gnan to blossom into a full-bloomed tree, you will have to water it and nurture it. You will have to provide protection and create a small enclosure to protect the young plant.

 

FIVE AAGNAS LEADS TO THE STATE OF THE LORD

 

Dadashri : The five aagnas are simple, are they not?

 

Questioner : But they appear difficult in daily experience.

 

Dadashri : They are not difficult, but it seems that way because of the discharge of a large stock of your karmas from past lives. At such times, you need to be more aware. Spiritual laziness under such circumstances will not do at all. If you remain within my aagnas, you can experience the bliss of Lord Mahavir. It is the previous tendencies of the mind that do not let you stay in the five aagnas. Maintaining the ‘Knower-Known’ state (the state of ‘I’ in the correct place as the Knower or Observer and the ‘Known’ being file number one, Chandulal), you will be beyond these tendencies of your mind. Do not accommodate these tendencies. Do not be pleased with any of your previous tendencies. They may express in all different ways and may dance around you and mesmerize you. That does not mean that ‘You’ have slipped. They may even cause variable anxiety and tribulations. If this happens, it only clouds the state of your real bliss. If your peace is interrupted, it is because of these prior tendencies.

 

With determination you will be able to follow the aagnas. But the problems occur when one is indecisive. You have to make the decision, “I want to stay within the aagnas.” Such a determination is possible, is it not? If this is not possible on a daily basis, why not take one day at a time and experience the bliss that follows, by resolutely following the aagnas every instant? I am not telling you to follow my aagnas. I am telling you to make a decision to follow my aagnas.

 

UNFLINCHING DECISION MAKES YOU FOLLOW AAGNAS

 

 

The greatest thing of all is to decide to follow Dada’s aagnas. You should decide to do that. Do not concern yourself about whether you are able to do so or not. However much you are able to follow is correct and exact. At least be determined to follow them.

 

Questioner : So if they are not followed fully, it is acceptable?

 

Dadashri : No, not quite. You should be firm in your determination that you want to follow the aagnas. From the time you wake up decide, “I want to stay in and follow the aagnas.” This decision will keep you in the aagnas, and that is all I want. I know the causal reason why you are not able to follow the aagnas. Your decision however is needed.

 

Moksha is the reality of our Gnan. If you stay in the aagnas, moksha is guaranteed. There is no argument about it. Even if one does not want to follow the aagnas, because he has attained the seed of Gnan, one day it is bound to grow. People ask me what happens to those who have taken the Gnan but do not follow the aagnas. I tell them that they are not to be concerned about this. That is my concern because they have taken the Gnan from me. One’s sins are destroyed in the fire of the Gnan. When one abides by the five aagnas, bliss will prevail.

 

The task shall be accomplished if you follow the aagnas. I follow these aagnas constantly. The state that I am in, is the state that is given to you. It will only work if the aagnas are followed. If one tried to attain this through his own efforts, he would not succeed even in a hundred thousand lifetimes. There are situations where one follows the aagnas through the medium of the intellect. This weakens the protective wall of the aagnas, even though he still may have the bhaav to follow the aagnas. Therefore, one needs to be alert and attentive.

 

Do pratikraman if you forget to follow the aagnas. Yes, it is human nature to forget. When you forget, do pratikraman, by saying, “Dada, please forgive me. I forgot to follow the aagnas for these two hours. I do want to follow your aagnas. Please forgive me.” Through pratikraman, you will be relieved of your responsibility.

 

Once enclosed in the protective sphere of the aagnas, nothing in the world will bother you. Karma will not bind you. Does it bind the one who is the giver of the aagnas? No, because they are given with a view to help others.

 

THESE ARE THE AAGNAS OF THE LORD

 

To follow Dada’s aagnas does not mean that you are following A. M. Patel’s aagnas. These are aagnas of the Lord of the Fourteen Worlds, Dada Bhagwan. I am guaranteeing this. Yes, they are coming to you through my medium. Follow them. I myself, stay within these agnas.
