anything or do any work. The Gnani Purush does not need
anything. Why would he have a need for anything when he is the
Lord of the entire universe? He, who is never the owner of his

that? This is all for you. If you have a need to do so (garland
the Gnani), then do it because it will get rid of any worldly
obstacle you may have; doing so will make your burden of a
mountain appear like a mole hill. I am not the doer of it; I am
just a nimit. When the Gnani Purush walks into your life, it will
make everything wonderful for you; however he is merely
instrumental in the process. The Gnani does not have any desire
for wealth, sex, pride, fame or anything else.

greater than the collective bliss of all the celestial beings! Why
is this eternal bliss obstructed? What prevents one from
experiencing it? Only the mistakes of one’s past life prevents this
bliss! It is these mistakes from the past that do not allow you to
experience the bliss. The worldly beings have not tasted this
