Moksha-marg (path to liberation) is the path to freedom; it is the path of attaining freedom from all worldly attachments. But what is preventing us from reaching the ultimate destination of moksha on this path? We believe some practices will be instrumental for achieving freedom. However, most of these practices do not help us in experiencing freedom. The attachments are not broken in spite of performing many different practices. What is going wrong? What are the obstacles? There are obstacles that are binding people in this world. They cannot visualize these hindrances. And by taking support of such obstacles, people have turned away from the path of final liberation. The Gnanis (the Enlightened ones) have said that anger-pride-deceit and greed are the cause of bondage and obstruction on the path of liberation.

All faults are encompassed in anger-pride-deceit and greed, but, how do these faults unfold and manifest in worldly interactions? This can only be understood when the Gnani Purush explains them in detail. Presented in this book, are ...

The essence of all scriptures, all spiritual discourses and spiritual activities is one and the same and that is to get the ‘awareness and the knowledge of the Self’. The ‘main Self’ is shuddha (verily pure), but one has the wrong belief of “Who am I?” This wrong belief of I am Chandu (reader should use his name) has given rise to the prakruti (nature and characteristics of a person). There are only two things in the world, non-living (jadd) and living (chetan). The two have always been distinct and different, but a mix of both has led to the vishesh bhaav of “I am Chandubhai” which contradicts the basics of Self-realization, which is “I am the Self/Soul”. Published in this book is the speech of the Gnani Purush (The Enlightened One) of Akram Vignan (Spiritual Science) who came to be known to the world as Param Pujya Dadashri (Master of Spiritual Science). He has explained the root cause of pakruti, how to keep prakruti different from the Self and how to just observe the prakruti. He has also discussed the eight types of karmas. This book is an eye-opener to the science of prakruti and karmas....
