even by mistake. Every part of the Gnani and his divine karma
are worthy of worship. The intellect can never be used here.
This Gnani Purush has a physical body but within resides the
one who is eternally aware. What is visible to you is the physical
form of the Gnani Purush, which is purely for play-acting for
