Aptavani-1
In the first stage, there is not a clear but a vague and indistinct
experience of the Soul. In the second stage there is a constant,
clear and distinct experience of the Soul. My state is the second
stage of shukla-dhyaan. The fully enlightened beings are in the
third stage of shukla-dhyaan. And the fourth stage is the final
liberation.
The clear and distinct experience of the Soul takes place
when one comes to know the Supreme Lord completely, but
does not have complete knowledge of all that is to be known.
And absolute and complete knowledge (Keval Gnan) is where
all and everything knowable is known.
An analogy of first stage with lack of clarity of the Self
is when you can sense the presence of ice in a dark room. Even
though you cannot see it, you can feel the coolness of the air
that flows over the ice throughout the room. And the direct
experience, the second stage of shukla-dhyan of the Soul, is the
experience of actually touching the ice itself.
I have not kept much difference between you, Kevli
Bhagwan (fully enlightened One) and myself. The current time
cycle has obstructed absolute knowledge for me; I am stuck at
three hundred and fifty-six degrees, short of four degrees required
to achieve Keval Gnan. But upon you I bestow Absolute
Knowledge.
What is the consequence of shukla-dhyan? Liberation.
I am considered a meddlesome vitarag (one without any
attachment); I am not a complete vitarag. I am absolutely
detached in all aspects except one : I meddle by telling people.
‘Come, I will grant you liberation’. I meddle all I can in order
to bestow liberation onto others.
