Easiest way to achieve Enlightenment in this lifetime!!
Written by Dada Bhagwan
The easiest way to achieve enlightenment is when we get the knowledge of ‘who am I’ directly with the grace of the Living Enlightened One!
The Enlightened One explains:
In this world, there are two types of path.
1. Step by step, step by step, we have to search our Self, ‘who am I’ or we have to take help of the religion. But in (today’s worldly) religion, they are not giving the knowledge of Self-Realization (Enlightenment). They will develop us in the worldly life, ‘Help others, do good, don’t do bad, don’t hurt anybody.’ Like that, good things we adopt, and bad things we leave.
2. In worldly religion, there are two types - one is religion and the other is spirituality. In spirituality, we have to find out, ‘who am I?’. And sometimes, when an Enlightened person is there, with the grace of that Enlightened person, directly, we get the realization of our Soul. That is the easy path. Otherwise, it is very difficult and next to impossible to do it ourselves.
Suppose a child is there. We want to make him a Doctor. Without the help of any teacher, can he become a Doctor? We have to put him in KG. Then, Std. 1, Std. 2, he will learn and he will develop. So, a teacher is required.
Worldly knowledge is given by religion while the spiritual knowledge is given by a spiritual teacher, an Enlightened person. So, by the help of an Enlightened person, we can get the knowledge of the Self (Enlightenment). This is the only way! When you get the proper guidance, you will reach your destination of the pure Soul.
So, the Easiest Way to Achieve Enlightenment is Get Self-Realization from One who has Realized it
With the grace of the Self-Realized person, you also get the realization of pure Soul. Once you achieve that thing, then there will not be any confusion and no doubt will remain.
From The Moment One Achieves Enlightenment...
...tension and worries leave; anger, pride, deceit and greed in him start reducing. As one’s spiritual understanding grows, his fears and suffering decreases and peace reigns within.
One who has achieved enlightenment in real terms certainly finds this result as his Soul has been enlightened.
An Enlightened person can enlighten your pure Soul
Just as a lit candle lights another candle, similarly the Enlightened One alone can enlighten others’ Soul. Therefore, a Living Gnani, whose Soul is awakened, is required to awaken our Soul!
When we find such Gnani (the Enlightened One), we must obtain the knowledge of the Self (Atma-Gnan) from Him and follow His words. Gnani’s words are such, which when meditated upon and applied in our day-to-day life, they clear all the entanglements and instill in us the right understanding that helps bring forth good meaningful results. And thereby, as one progresses on the path of liberation, one day, he rises to a point where He attains the ‘Science’ i.e. the Absolute Soul! Thereafter, there’s no suffering whatsoever; it’s only the eternal bliss of the Soul that one experiences forever!!
Thus, go to the Enlightened One and achieve Enlightenment at your earliest convenience!!! Wish you a happy journey on the path of enlightenment in the shelter of the Enlightened One...

About the Author
Ambalal M. Patel was a civil contractor by profession. In June 1958, spontaneous Self-Realization occurred withi
Ambalal M. Patel. From this point on, Ambalal became a Gnani Purush, and the Lord that manifest within him became known as Dada Bhagwan. A Gnani Purush is One who has realized the Self and is able help others do the same. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan used to go from town to town and country-to-country to give satsang (spiritual discourse) and impart the knowledge of the Self, as well as knowledge of harmonious worldly interactions to everyone who came to meet him. This spiritual science, known as Akram Vignan, is the step-less path to Self-realization.

How common is self-love, what happens without it, and how does it relate to self-esteem?
Self-love is very essential in boosting our self-esteem. A person having self-love is contented with his own presence, whereas a person who does not have self-love always wanders to get love from other people or things. He is always restless. He never feels satisfied even after receiving love from people. His hunger for love never ceases, and hence he demands more and more attention from others. As a result, his relationships are ruined and he always lives in misery.rn rnSo,

Who is a True Guru? How to choose a Spiritual Guru?
Grave danger in uprooting a Guru Do not accept a known guru as guru, and if you do, then do not turn your back on him. Use a pot if you do not like him. The pot will not have any problems. Worship it because your buddhi (intellect) will not be active there and your work will get done. Now who would be so careful that he would not allow his intellect to interfere? How can one understand all this? Questioner: At the time we make someone our guru, he appears to be very good, he

How can I balance material responsibilities with spiritual goals?
The spiritual science of Akram Vignan helps us find the balance between taking care of our material responsibilities and pursuing our spiritual goals, very easily, as this spiritual science works alongside our material obligations. In Akram Vignan, the fundamental change starts internally when the ignorance of the Self is completely removed through the grace of the Enlightened Being (Gnani Purush). Here, Self-Realisation is attained through a scientific process of Bhed-Vignan

What is the importance of Living Guru?
Questioner: If we surrender to the great souls that lived thousands of years ago, can that be considered surrender? Can we make any progress through such surrender or do we need to surrender to a living great man? Dadashri: You can progress even through Paroksha (indirectly- one not currently living). However if you find such a living (Pratyaksh) person, then your liberation will be instant. The indirect approach will give you the benefit of progress but there is no liberatio
