 Swaminarayan’s Akshar-Purushottam philosophy teaches that the Aksharbrahman Guru is the most qualified to provide interpretations of the sacred text.Because it is only he, who is Aksharbrahman (Brahman), fully established in Parabrahman ("niṣtḥa"), and possessing the direct and absolute realization of the scriptures ("śrotriyam").Swaminarayan himself states in the discourse Loya 11, “One should only hear the sacred scriptures from the Satpurush ("Satpuruṣa"), but never from an unholy person.” Again, in Vartal 12, Swaminarayan states, “...no one can ever attain liberation by listening to the Gitā or the Śrimad-Bhāgavata from a person who does not have faith in God coupled with the knowledge of his greatness.”
