Is it possible to acquire Self Realization being married?

"Yes, there is such a way. It is possible to attain Atma Gnan even while living with your wife and your children. You can attain Atma Gnan while living the worldly life and fulfilling your parental and other duties. I myself, who is living this worldly life, can make this happen for you. You will have the freedom to do whatever you wish. Go to the cinema. Get your children married. Wear beautiful clothes, etc. What other guarantees do you need?"

Questioner: Then it is worth looking into. If I can have that kind of freedom , I am very interested.

Dadashri: All the freedom you desire is yours. This is a shortcut path to Atma Gnan (Self-Realization). It does not require any effort on your part. I will give you your Atma (Soul) in your hands, so all that remains, is for you to enjoy the bliss of the experience. This is the elevator path. Stay in the elevator (the shortcut path as opposed to the traditional kramic step by step path to liberation). You will not bind any new karma. The only karma you bind will be through following my aagnas (five cardinal principles), and they will result in one more lifetime. I give you these aagnas to protect you from any deviations or obstacles on this path.

Related Spiritual Quotes by Param Pujya Dadashri: 1) Akram Vignan is where the worldly life goes on but there is no karma bondage and Kramic Gnan is where the worldly life goes on and one continues to bind karma.
2)  The 'Kramic path' (Step by Step Path) is of 'doing' and the 'Akram Path' (Stepless Path) is of 'understanding'. One has to bring an end to things through understanding. The path of Akram is not a path of action (kriya); it is a path to bring about settlement through equanimity. The Knowledge of Akram itself, works on its own, to bring about results.

Glossary: Aagna (Agna): Instructions usually given by God or Gnani Purush; Command Commandments; Directives; Instructions.
Karma: Actions operating through the law of "cause" and "effect".
Kramic: Step-by-step; Orderly.
