When can all these losses be made up, and that too in this
insolvent Kaliyug (the current fifth era)? That is why one should
just accept the Gnani’s protection (sharanu) and ask him for
liberation. Only then can everything be resolved in a short time.

Dharma in One’s Conduct
The Lord does not look at the conduct (activity of mind,
speech and body), but He does give significance to the intent
(bhaav). Conduct (aacharan) is “discharge” karma, and the
“charge” (of new karma) happens according to the intent
behind the action.
The constant contemplation of ‘Life as a human should
not go in vain’ will someday bear fruit.
To be free from conflict is the greatest religion. There is
no religion where there are clashes, and there are no clashes
where there is religion.
Show kindness (daya), remain peaceful (shanti), remain
in equanimity (samata). These dictates of religions, are futile in
these current times. What can be done when they cannot be
observed even after millions of attempts? That is why the Gnani
Purush shows us a new path, in a new form; one that is
attainable even by the common person.
When anger, pride, deceit and greed (kashays) happen,
it is not a problem, but one should do repentance (pratikraman)
for them. If you commit a theft, it is not a problem, but you must
do pratikraman for it. If you just abide this one Agna (special
directive) of the Gnani, you will attain the essence of all
religions. There is no other higher religion, than to please the
Gnani. Nothing else pleases the Gnani more than if you follow
his Agnas! Only the Gnani’s Agnas can take one to the ultimate
moksha!
Knowledge itself brings action. As soon as the knowledge
