the kusang that feeds you delicacies. Just an hour of kusang will
destroy the effect of satsang of countless lives. It takes twenty-
five years or so to grow trees in the jungles, but how long does
it take to destroy the trees if there is a fire in the jungle? How
much can the Gnani Purush do? He will carefully plant young
saplings in the jungle everyday and he will nurture them. He will
feed the saplings the water of satsang. But how long will it take
for the fire of kusang to destroy the saplings? The highest punya

it does not let this Gnan fully manifest; it does not let this Gnan
attain completion to 360 degrees that is Keval Gnan.
‘We’ have with ‘us’ the exactness of all ‘we’ have seen
in this Gnan. You should ask the Gnani Purush whatever you
have to, when you are blessed with the opportunity to meet
Him. What a tremendous loss it is if you do not take advantage
of that opportunity to get your work done! Gnani Purush is the
one for whom nothing more needs to be known.

vyavahar i.e. the Gnani’s worldly interaction.
Questioner : Should we do bhakti (rituals of worship) in
order to attain liberation?
