We are in the 21st century where with each passing day, more and more things are available readymade, and where higher technology, faster speeds are the order of the day! This trend has obviously influenced the minds of the present generation so as to make them demand faster results in almost everything they seek out for in the material world and in the spiritual world too.

Even in the ultimate Self-Realization course, one tends to look for a faster process that could yield superior results? So, is there one? Let’s check it out…
The traditional path of Self-Realization requires performing many oust practices and austerities to reach to the experience of the Soul. This path holds right; but it is quite a difficult and long way as it needs one to leave every materialistic possession and perform observance of fasts, chanting, etc. to finally reach a stage where experience of Self realization occurs.

In today’s times, the traditional path has stopped yielding results because of the difficulties and absurdities that a man faces in the present time cycle. And therefore Nature selected Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, The Enlightened One, to unleash the stepless path of Akram Science!!!

WHAT IS AKRAM SCIENCE?
This Akram Science is a simple, natural path where the Enlightened One has the ability to make you acquire Self Realization within just 2 hours, without you having to renounce any materialistic possessions, money, etc. and without having to perform hard rituals, practices or fasts.

The Process of Self-Realization through the Akram pathr
On the Akram path, Self Realization is attained directly, with the help of the divine grace of the Living Gnani, who has experienced the Self (the Soul) and has the unique ability to make others realize their own Self too! Such Enlightened One has surpassed the different worldly situations, observed the world as it is, and He now gives us the Knowledge of the Self on a ready platter.

In the first hour, Gnani makes us experience our Pure Soul within. And thereafter, in the second hour, he gives us five principles to abide, in order to protect the given awareness of the Soul.

Presently Pujya Deepakbhai Desai, blessed by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, is the Living Gnani, who bestows Self-Realization to every individual who comes seeking it, irrespective of his caste, creed, religion, gender or color; and then nurtures the awareness of the Soul so that one attains the ultimate experience of the Soul!!!
He helps deepen each one’s understanding in the right direction so that one can correctly and accurately persevere on the path to ultimate liberation.

He very patiently holds the torch of knowledge and illuminates every dark area within, due to which one has had to wander in ignorance so far. He further helps bring to light the mistakes that have been holding us back all along and have not allowed us to make progress ahead; and extends his strength and support so that we are able to destroy those mistakes.

Thus, by staying in the shelter of this Living Gnani, and following His words with absolute humility, one smoothly and steadily sails through the process of Self-Realization right upto ultimate liberation.

To conclude:

Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “Nothing will be attained even if you carry out rituals for hundreds of thousands of lifetimes. The ultimate liberation is attained through absolute humility. The gate of understanding is opened through absolute humility. Absolute humility arises only if the ego dissolves.” And ego dissolves when we surrender our worldly self in the lotus feet of Gnani and obtain from him the knowledge of our real Self (the Pure Soul within).

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.

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.

As a result, his relationships are ruined and he always lives in misery.rn rnSo,

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

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).

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
