of this time cycle that they remain and that is why absolute
omniscience (keval Gnan) of 360° has not arisen externally and
remains at 356°. But to you ‘we’ give only keval Gnan of 360°
within an hour but you will not be able to digest it all. Alas! ‘we’
ourselves could not digest it by four degrees. Because of the
current era of this time cycle, it fell short by four degrees! Within
there is knowledge of 360° and on the relative plane it is stuck
at 356°. In this time cycle, it is not possible for the relative-self
to reach the complete 360°. But ‘we’ do not have any problems
with that because ‘we’ experience endless bliss within.
There is no superior over you, ‘we’ assure you of this.
Only your mistakes are your superior. If you meet a Gnani, then
He can destroy your mistakes. You are bound by your own
mistakes. You believe you are making the effort for liberation
through whatever sadhan (tool, scripture or worldly guru) you
use but these very instruments bind (merit karma) you.
Had you destroyed one mistake per one previous life, you
would have been in a state of moksha, but in trying to destroy
one mistake, one ends up creating five more. Externally one
appears wonderful and calm but internally there is nothing but
turmoil. How can you call this having destroyed your mistakes?
There is no superior above you but you need someone to show
you your mistakes. How can one find his mistakes through his
own efforts? And there are not just one or two mistakes. There
are endless mistakes. There are endless mistakes of the body
and endless mistakes of speech. Mistakes of speech are very
harmful. Sometimes people invite their friends for dinner but they
use such harsh speech that despite a delicious meal of thirty-two
varieties, there will be no joy in it. The guests feel it would have
been better had they not been invited. Even when they serve
simple tea, their speech is so abrasive. And there are countless
enemies in the mind.
Who is able to destroy your mistakes? The Gnani Purush,
