Self and so you are completely separate from your mind. I have
put a stop to your charge mind and have made you the knower
and the observer of your discharge mind. Thus you can remain
undisturbed when you are faced with the infinite states of the
mind. That is Gnan. And those who become affected and
entangled in any state of the mind create new causes; the effect
of which is then brought forth by vyavasthit. They again become
affected (as the effect unfolds) and this gives rise to new causes
and thus the cycle of cause and effect continues.

The Self is steadfast and the thoughts fluctuate. Both are
separate. This is the only relationship between the Knower (Self)
and the known (thoughts).
That is why I tell everyone not to spoil his or her inner
intent under any circumstances. An unexpected guest may come
to visit you at an untimely hour, but do not spoil your inner
intent. Feed him or her a simple meal but do not spoil your inner
feelings. Do not let your mind become narrow and miserly.

‘Manahparyava gnan’ means to know thoughts taking
place in the mind of others before their echo is heard in your
own inner instrument (antahkaran). A person possessing
‘manahparyaya gnan’ can read, see and know those thoughts
slowly but clearly. In the language of the Vitarag – to see and
to know all the phases of your own mind is ‘manahparyaya
gnan’.
I am the doctor of the mind in this world. You will find
doctors of the body everywhere but go and find me a doctor
