‘I know’, is a fault that leads to spiritual suicide (Gujarati Dadavani February-2012)

Everyone has the awareness of existence. On what basis one has the awareness of that existence? It is on the basis of ego. Such ego makes one believe that ‘I understand’ and ‘I know’. That ego of knowingness is verily called madness. The one who wants to progress in spirituality, the one who wants to go to moksha, for him, absolutely revered Dadashri says everything in just two sentences. ‘Ultimate humility’ and ‘I do not know anything’ just that inner intent. These are master keys to become laghuttam in relative and guruttam (the highest) in the domain of the Self, the real (nischaya). If these keys are used with understanding, then all the locks of misunderstanding would open. In true sense, if you want to progress then the ego of ‘I know’ will not work. Know that, the moment ego arises a bit, you will be dashed on the ground. The sweetness of the ego of the knowingness is very dangerous. ‘I know’ is a mistake of the darkness, lack of light application.
