Five Directives itself is Religion, Five Directives itself is Penance (Gujarati Dadavani April-1996)

One should always stay in the Agnas of a Gnani Purush. The Agnas that are given by Gnani Purush includes the Agnas of the Trithankars as well. Only words might differ but their reason and intention behind giving the Agnas is always same. If we follow each and every word of Gnani Purush only for one lifetime then our salvation is not far away. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan's 5 Agnas teaches us to stay as 'Knower & Seer' which is infact our true Self. Following 5 Agnas increases one's awareness tremendously. These 5 Agnas protects us against the world full of bad company, it keeps us stable and alert from within. These Agnas are the essence of entire scriptures of the world. Firstly, one should listen and understand Akram Vignan then 5 Agnas are there for protection of this Gnan. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says 'In our absence, our 5 Agnas are the symbol of our presence'.
