Real happiness and peace is attained only if one comes into one’s true Self.
To Know "Does God forgive all sins? And what is real happiness?"
Repentance for Sins
Questioner: If we go to the temple every Sunday and confess to all our wrong doings (demerit karmas) to God, will we be forgiven?
Dadashri: If that were possible then no one would fall sick, would they? Then there would be no misery (dukh) at all, would there? But there is endless misery. The reason to ask for forgiveness is to destroy the root of your demerit karmas (paap), so that they do not sprout again, but you will still have to suffer the effect; the fruit, won’t you?
Questioner: Some roots may sprout again.
Dadashri: They may sprout again if they were not destroyed completely. But regardless of whether the root has been destroyed or not, the fruits of past karmas will still have to be suffered. Even the Enlightened Lords have to suffer them. Lord Krishna too was shot with an arrow in the foot. There is no way out of that. I too have to suffer them.
Asking for forgiveness is part of every religion: Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, etc., but their methods are different.
Questioner: But no person can have all the four different types of happiness the Lord has given, surely?
Dadashri: This is not happiness at all. It is all imagination. It is not real happiness.
Questioner: How is one to understand what real happiness is and what is not, without experiencing it?
Dadashri: One will experience it without fail. Happiness that is not dependent upon any external things will arise; happiness that you have never seen before. Such happiness is called bliss (anand).
Questioner: It should remain forever.
Dadashri: That happiness (sukh) will then never leave. Such bliss has arisen in everyone after taking this Gnan; they experience the fact that it has not gone. Then if you were to throw rocks at that bliss, it will hurt you, but nothing will happen to You if You remain in ‘our’ Agnas. ‘Our’ Agnas are very easy.
Related Spiritual Quotes by Param Pujya Dadashri:
1) You will have to suffer whatever karmas you have bound. It is your own responsibility. God is not responsible for any of them at all.
2) As far as God is concerned, there is no such thing as right or wrong. They are just worldly arrangements. All He says is to do pratikraman if you hurt anyone. You should not hurt anyone.
3) “The reaction of whatever you do will continue punishing you (hold you accountable). I do not have to come to punish you,” says God.

Gnan - Dadashri uses the word gnan for three types of knowledge - Gnan with capitalized 'G' is the knowledge of the Self (spiritual knowledge). The second gnan is the knowledge of cause and effects, life after life, and the third gnan is the worldly knowledge of human beings; The knowledge of the Self and of the doer through Gnan Vidhi in Akram Vignan
Karma, Karmas - The cycle of cause and effect life after life; To support the action with the belief 'I am the doer' is called binding the karma.
Paap - Demerit karma; Sin; Wrongdoing
Sukh - Pleasure; Happiness
