Spirituality in Speech

Preface Every human being from the moment he awakes is involved in an incessant interaction of speech. Some even talk in their sleep. Speech interaction has two outcomes: sweet and bitter. Interactions that are sweet are palatable. The bitter ones are not palatable. The Gnanis can show us ways to accept both with equanimity. Gnani Purush Dadashri gives us many keys to deal with situations involving speech in our everyday living.

People have asked Dadashri all kinds of questions about various topics, from simple and obvious to profound, from straightforward to ridiculous. His response had been a steady stream of spontaneous answers that quelled the questioner's inquisitiveness with greatest satisfaction. People could discern love, compassion and ultimate truth in his every word.

Dadashri, with gentle affection, would tell all those that came to him to, '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. It is not your mistake if you do not understand, but the inadequacy of the person giving the answers.'

If a person dismisses a question by telling you that the answer is too subtle and beyond one's comprehension, then it would constitute deceit. Too often, people tend to dismiss questions to which they have no answers, by blaming the seeker's inability to understand.

If a person has heard or read any of Dadashri's speech in detail, then he would not fail to see what a true Gnani should be. The true Gnani has absolute unity of the mind, speech and conduct. He is the manifestation to the enlightened One. A person would also undoubtedly recognize what is not authentic.

This book will help the reader to resolve problems involving interpersonal communication through speech. It is also an instructional guide to improve one's speech so that it is not offensive and hurtful. The reader will be enlightened about the repercussions of a single negative thought about anyone. One can learn how to be free from conflict in all one's relationships, at home and outside.

Dadashri gives us tremendous insight into the fundamental and subtle principles that govern speech. He gives us practical solutions of how to purify verbal interaction with our friends and family so that it hurts no one. Dadashri has a knack, through the numerous ways he illustrates a point, for making the reader feel that it is the reader's life that is the subject of conversation,. His solutions reach the heart directly and lead to liberation.

It is extremely difficult to recognize a Gnani Purush; it requires expertise and skill to distinguish a real diamond. In the same way, a spiritual eye is needed to recognize the enlightened One, Gnani Punish Dadashri. Dadashri's speech, which was uttered only for the salvation of others and nothing else, will continue to illuminate the path of liberation for generations to come. The Gnani's speech is so powerful that within just one hour, it bestows upon the seeker, the experience of the Self.
