For anyone wondering what is spiritual enlightenment, it is essential to learn of the 24 Tirthankaras of the past, and Tirthankaras of the present.

In the current era, if one is seeking spiritual awakening, one can search for spiritual teachers, with hopes of understanding the meaning of spirituality and achieving spiritual transformation. But to attain Self realization one must meet a living Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge). A living Gnani has the spiritual power both to give spiritual enlightenment, and to connect one with living Tirthankaras of the present, such as Simandhar Swami of Mahavideh Kshetra.

A lot of people struggle to understand what the truth is, what is right and what is wrong. There is perpetual dilemma to distinguish between right and wrong. According to Dada Bhagwan, the Gnani Purush (the enlightened one), in the worldly life there are three types of truth. One - absolute truth (self) second - relative truth and third - untruth. In this Audio book, Dadashri has discussed the meaning of absolute and relative truth. Absolute truth 'I' can never be destroyed, it is eternal. It belongs to the soul (atma). The realization that you are pure soul (shuddha-atma) is eternal, and ultimate truth.
