only the one understanding pragnya knows agna. In the Kramic
path, whenever one has to purify the ego, he has to do it through
the medium of the mind, whereas in the Akram path everything
happens through the state of pragnya, which is a part of the Self.
You had entered the worldly life through agna (the state of
ignorance) and are becoming liberated through pragnya. If one
can understand the way in which one becomes bound, then one
can find the path to freedom. If you can understand the energy
(agna shakti) that makes you clash in worldly life, life after life,
then you will be able to understand pragnya shakti. Company of
agna (ignorance) makes one wander in 8,400,000 yonis (births;
wombs). The effect of ignorance is worldly life and the effect of
pragnya shakti dissolves the worldly life. After attaining the Self,
dependency upon the intellect (buddhi) is destroyed and You are
supported by pragnya. When the Gnan reaches a high level, one
is said to be pragnya-dhari; supported by pragnya and this
state is attained directly from ‘us’.
Out of the two shaktis (energies), you have derived the
agna shakti through the ego by saying, “I am the doer.” This
agna-shakti is independent in everyone and it applies to
everyone. When all the agna-shakti comes together, it gives rise
to ‘vyavasthit shakti’. Everyone has agna shakti; everyone has a
regulator of the world attributed to his worldly account and
because of this all the work will continue. Therefore, you do not
have to do anything. The worldly life will continue on its own.
Who has the understanding and knowledge as to why the light
(life) comes into this man’s eyes and why it goes away? The
doctors are simply instrumental (nimits) in the process, how can
they save a person’s life? Indeed if the doctor was able to ‘save’
lives, why could he not save his own parents? This world runs
according to vyavasthit shakti and so does the worldly
interaction (vyavahar).
Agna-shakti is the force which perpetuates worldly life
(adhikaran kriya). Agna-shakti remains right until the very end
