apparent, then he will know ‘this is a pamphlet of deception’.
Vitarag Lords say, “There is no one to bother the one who is
strong like us and who does not desire anything in this world.
And if someone does come to bother such a person, they will
bother the non-Self complex, the pudgal. Who dare bother the
Self?” These people are traders that deal with the pudgal so let
them. The worst they can do is take away the pudgal and here
they are taking away from the one who has no ownership over
his pudgal. The one who desires moksha will not have
ownership of the pudgal and those who have the ownership, do
not desire moksha.
Darshan of the Formless leads to Moksha
Kaviraj has written:
‘Murti amurta na darshan pamey jya
Mandir na ghant naad vaagi gayaa chhe.’
“Where the formed one attains the darshan of the formless
Then his bells of liberation have begun to toll.’
Bells of moksha will toll when the one with a form
(murta; human being) attains the darshan of the formless
(amurta; the Self in the Gnani Purush). There has never been
darshan of the formless at any time, if there had been, then the
bells for moksha would have been ringing in all the ‘temples’ (all
human beings). Do you understand what I mean when I say,
‘When a murti does darshan of amurta (the Self) salvation will
be attained?’ For human beings that murti has to be living, only
then can they do darshan of the amurta? That murti is the Gnani
Purush. When human beings get darshan of the Lord within the
Gnani Purush, then the temple’s bells toll. Once the Self is
attained through this darshan, then the ringing is completed and
the work is done. Gnani Purush separates the non-self (the jada;
matter) and the Self (chetan; sentient), and establishes a clear
distinction within which says, “This is pure and this is impure.”
Even the slightest impurity is not acceptable here, in the realm of
