Our Beloved Gnani -Dada

  • Not Synced
    What’s wrong, Son?
  • Not Synced
    Can’t you sleep?
  • Not Synced
    No, mother
  • Not Synced
    The mosquitoes are biting me
  • Not Synced
    Aren’t they biting you too?
  • Not Synced
    Yes, they are
  • Not Synced
    Then why don’t you kill them?
  • Not Synced
    Oh my dear son
  • Not Synced
    the poor thing just takes its share, and leaves
  • Not Synced
    It’s not like he comes asking for extra tiffin
  • Not Synced
    or anything, my dear
  • Not Synced
    Now that he’s here
  • Not Synced
    let him eat before he goes, at least
  • Not Synced
    But what if it bites us?
  • Not Synced
    Look, son, our body is such that
  • Not Synced
    it should not hurt anyone
  • Not Synced
    Whoever comes should leave with happiness
  • Not Synced
    Do you understand?
  • Not Synced
    Yes, mother
  • Not Synced
    This child’s name is Ambalal
  • Not Synced
    The values that Ambalal received
  • Not Synced
    from his mother Zaverba were such that
  • Not Synced
    from a very young age
  • Not Synced
    he decided that
  • Not Synced
    Whoever comes to me
  • Not Synced
    should receive some happiness from me
  • Not Synced
    Ambalal, will you go to the market today?
  • Not Synced
    Yes, mother
  • Not Synced
    What do I need to get?
  • Not Synced
    Bring a bunch of tuvar (pigeon pea) pods
  • Not Synced
    And yes, don’t forget the chilies
  • Not Synced
    You like bhajiyas (fritters), right?
  • Not Synced
    Yes, mother
  • Not Synced
    The market is far
  • Not Synced
    So let me also
  • Not Synced
    bring the vegetables for the neighbor
  • Not Synced
    That way, they won’t have to go
  • Not Synced
    and their work will be done too
  • Not Synced
    Puniba! Oh, Puniba!
  • Not Synced
    I’m going to the market
  • Not Synced
    If you need anything
  • Not Synced
    then let me know
  • Not Synced
    It’s good that you asked
  • Not Synced
    Bring me any vegetable you find
  • Not Synced
    Dear, please drop this postcard
  • Not Synced
    in the mailbox on your way!
  • Not Synced
    So many tasks in one trip
  • Not Synced
    Now it’s worth it!
  • Not Synced
    Ambalal found great joy in helping others
  • Not Synced
    Even while traveling by car
  • Not Synced
    if the car was empty
  • Not Synced
    he felt it was a wasted trip
  • Not Synced
    So, he would ask people on the road
  • Not Synced
    if they needed a ride
  • Not Synced
    and would take them along
  • Not Synced
    Even while sitting in the bus
  • Not Synced
    he would stand up
  • Not Synced
    and offer his seat to someone else
  • Not Synced
    At the age of twenty-two
  • Not Synced
    his friends gave him the title of Superhuman
  • Not Synced
    We have seen superheroes in movies
  • Not Synced
    but Dadashri used to say that a
  • Not Synced
    Superhuman is someone who
  • Not Synced
    even though they need happiness for themselves
  • Not Synced
    gives it to others
  • Not Synced
    or despite facing harm
  • Not Synced
    helps others in times of trouble
  • Not Synced
    Dadashri’s entire life was spent
  • Not Synced
    for the happiness of others
  • Not Synced
    The desire for the salvation of others
  • Not Synced
    always remained in his heart
  • Not Synced
    Then, suddenly, one evening in June 1958
  • Not Synced
    In just one hour
  • Not Synced
    he attained such Knowledge that
  • Not Synced
    the mysteries of the entire universe were revealed
  • Not Synced
    He found the answers
  • Not Synced
    to every question in the world
  • Not Synced
    He experienced a bliss so unimaginable
  • Not Synced
    one that, once attained, never fades away
  • Not Synced
    After attaining this Knowledge
  • Not Synced
    Dadashri had only one desire
  • Not Synced
    May the entire world attain the same bliss
  • Not Synced
    I have attained
