The Gnani Purush can break down obstacles to
knowledge (Gnanantaray) and obstacles to vision
(darshanantaray). Nevertheless, in matters related to the break
down of the ‘religion’ of humility (vinaya dharma), even the
‘Gnani’ is not able to help. There should not be a single
negative thought about the ‘Gnani.’ In order to break the
obstacles that prevent one from meeting the ‘Gnani,’ one can
beseech the Gnani to break down the obstacles through his
prayers (vidhi). Obstacles can be broken through intentions
(bhaav)! Intentions break obstacles . They happen when the
time is right.
For the ‘Atmagnani’ (the Self-realized One), the obstacles
are in the form of circumstances (saiyog) which by their very
nature, have the tendency to dissipate (viyog). The Self has no
circumstance (asaiyogi); therefore, it does not dissipate.

Contempt – Dismiss with Scorn
There is fear for that which is disdainful (scornful;
tiraskar). Fear is born out of scorn. Disdain for the courts or
for the police, will create fear of them.
Scorn (tiraskar) brings about a ‘mild’ result, whereas,
contempt (tarchhod) creates dreadful obstructions. One should
be extremely aware, and avoid any contempt towards anyone.
For the one who has been contemptuously rejected (tarchhod)
by us will close his doors to us forever. Contemptuous rejection
caused by speech, will inflict deep wounds which will not heal!
Know for sure that a single ‘wound’ of contempt to even one
human being, will impede your moksha. There is grave liability
in contempt.

The Aura of the Individual
The personality of a ‘Gnani Purush’ is extraordinary. His
