‘Bhagwat’ (Godly). An adjective of bhagwan is befitting to all
those who acquire the qualities of God. Everyone calls me
Bhagwan but ‘my State’ is beyond any attributes and
comparisons. What adjective will you give? Will you give it to
this body of mine? The body is going to die some day. But
manifest within is the very Paramatma (The Omniscient).
Tremendous light has arisen within.
Pure Gnan is Paramatma, the Absolute Self. Atma is just
a word. It is placed for the purpose of association to lead to
the Real. Gnan is the Absolute Self. It is Gnan that runs
everything but one has to have the right vision of the Self.
Liberation is only through pure Gnan. With the right gnan you
will receive happiness and with the wrong, deluded gnan, you
will receive miseries. There is no One (God) above you. Who
can you call a God? The one who has become liberated is God
and He has no one above him (as a boss). There is no one
over-head or no one as an under-hand anywhere. But when
you don’t have any understanding about your state of dependency
(bondage), how will you understand liberation? The worldly life
is a museum of dependency (on the non-Self) and that
dependency is misery. People remain strangers to their own
Self. There are as many paths as there are thoughts in this
world. You are free to wander around where ever you wish and
when you get tired of wandering, come to this path of liberation
(Akram Vignan). Come here when you want to be independent.
The worldly life is not wrong. There is nothing wrong in the
worldly life, except your understanding. There is danger every
moment; dependency every moment in this world and that is
why you remain anxious all the time.
There are some people that frighten others by repeatedly
refering to Jamraj (God of death). Jamaraj or Yamraj. They
have portrayed the God of Death to be so terrifying – they paint
pictures of him as a vicious ferocious bull or a demon with long
