To follow the Gnani ’ s Agnas ( special directives ) will bring about the grace ( krupa ) of Gnani .
How can you describe such a Gnani when words have limitations ; where one ’ s understanding falls short , and in the absence of any comparison , he is himself unfathomable ; he solely resides in the Self , where there is absolutely no room for the ego , and therefore he lives not in the mind , neither in the speech , nor in the body ; the very places that are host to the ego . He is free of all anger , pride , deceit and greed . His humility , although a ‘ given ’ as far as a Gnani Purush is concerned , is immaculate . He is egoless ; he blesses even those that curse or insult him .

In his speech , there is no disapproval of anyone ’ s viewpoint , nor is there any evidence of his own opinion ! There is no opposition to anyone , nor is anyone told , “ This is wrong ”. Speech that is syadvaad is accepted by all and hurts no one . In such speech , there is no debate ( vaad ), dispute ( vivaad ) or discourse ( samvaad ). It is purely dependent on the person who is instrumental ( nimit ; questioner ). The Gnani Purush ’ s speech arises from great depths and flows spontaneously and constantly .
