Those seeking to lead a spiritual life inevitably face challenges in their sincere pursuit of spirituality and practice. As spiritual development progresses, facing the many unintentional mistakes made through mind, speech, and conduct can become disconcerting. Naturally one begins to wonder, "Is it too late to apologize?", "How to forgive and forget in unhealthy relationships?" and, "How to forgive yourself - both for mistakes of the past and for ongoing mistakes in the present?" One of the most powerful tools for spiritual healing of both past and present is repentance with sincere apology.

There are times in life when we must endure suffering due to no fault on our part - or so it seems. In painful circumstances, we naturally question, "Why me? Am I wrong? It’s not my fault!" Such situations may feel like the very definition of suffering. In the Audio book "Fault is of the Sufferer", Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan provides spiritual solutions to common and everyday forms of suffering such as dealing with difficult people, facing unhealthy relationships, challenges in family relationships, and marriage problems.

Those seeking to lead a spiritual life may naturally become inspired to live in peace and non violence. To learn spiritual practices to develop these values, one may turn to spiritual teachers, to different types of religion, or to different types of yoga. But beginning to cultivate spiritual awareness is not always as simple as it seems - especially in family relationships, in unhealthy relationships, or while dealing with difficult people. Daily interactions such as these may feel like the very definition of conflict!

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 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).

As much as we would prefer otherwise, conflict seems woven into the very fabric of life.

As much as we would prefer otherwise, life includes its measure of unpleasant and unfavorable circumstances. In dealing with difficult people, facing unhealthy relationships, in family relationships, or in the midst of marriage problems, clashes occur. We might even say that some of our relationships are the very definition of conflict! We ask ourselves, how can we possibly avoid conflict in these emotionally-charged situations? In the Audio Audio book “Avoid Clashes”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan offers ultimate conflict resolution skills in the form of spiritual conflict resolution strategies.

What is the meaning of salvation? To attain the state of Pure Soul - that which is natural - that which is innate. However, due to the bondage of karma and lack of knowledge (agyanta), we are unaware of our true state - that which is associated with being natural - being Pure Soul. So how do we attain innateness (sahajta)? Gnani Purush (the enlightened One) knows the solution. And one such Gnani Purush, Dadashri has given us the key to sahajta. He has introduced us to Self Realization. The pure soul is Sahaj in its original form.

How does Seva support my spiritual development? Is there spiritual power and spiritual transformation to be gained through it?"
