A Gnani Purush (Enlightened One) is not only Self-Realized, but also has the spiritual power to enlighten others. Only a Gnani Purush, One who is liberated from all worldly attachments, has the power to liberate others. Self Realization or liberation cannot be acquired by reading scriptures, even if the scriptures themselves were the words of a Gnani. Self Realization can only be acquired through direct contact with a living Gnani. Such a Gnani Purush or Spiritual Master existed not too long ago amongst us. His name was Ambalal Muljibhai Patel (also lovingly known as "Dadashri" or "Dada Bhagwan"). To know more visit : https://www.dadabhagwan.org/spiritual-masters/pujya-dadashri/about-gnani-purush/
