Preface

Everyone lives their life , but a real life is only that which is free of conflicts .
In the current time cycle of Kaliyug bickering and clashing starts at the time of breakfast , so what remains to be said about the rest of the day ? Even in the past time cycles of Satyug , Dwapar and Tretayug , conflicts were present in the homes of prominent people . Even people of purity , such as the Pandavas , spent their entire lives planning a battle with the Kavravas . Shri Ramchandraji who was exiled in the forest , had nothing but conflict and friction from the time Sita was abducted , to the point of the Ashvamegh Yagna . Nevertheless , they all overcame conflicts in their lives with spiritual knowledge , and that verily was their special power .
The prime source of all conflicts in life is misunderstanding . “ You are the root cause of all your miseries .” This statement by Dadashri divulges the very root cause of all miseries with such profoundness , that no one could ever imagine .
If a person continues to paddle his boat of life without deciding on his destination , how will he ever embark upon the right course ? He will become fatigued from paddling , give up , and ultimately drown halfway , in the ocean . Therefore , it is very necessary to first , decide the destination . Life without a goal is synonymous to letting an engine run idle . If you want the ultimate goal , then liberation should be that goal . However , if you want something in between , but you do not have happiness in your life , then at least make your life free of conflicts .
