knowledge of the Self and with that, one will not feel separation
from anyone. The vision becomes that of oneness, without
division (abheda) the intellect becomes that of oneness. As long
as there is vinaya (humility) there is always the feeling of ‘my
Lord and I are separate’. However, that vinaya will take one
to param (absolute) vinaya (humility). This vinaya is one of the
‘stations’ on the path to moksha.
The Gnani Purush does not make a note of your lack
of humility (avinaya). You should understand where to show
humility and where not to. ‘We’ recognize that you will make
mistakes but ‘we’ cannot make a note of any lack of humility
on your part; how can ‘we’ do so in this dushamkaal (the
current era where there is lack of unity of mind-body-speech)?
One had to make a note of non-humility in the fourth Ara
(section) of the time cycle. Today, ‘we’ have to let go. On the
contrary, ‘we’ have to bless the one who is arrogant and
insolent!

I do not have any interest in it. Therefore, I feel free. Now I
have no interest in anything.
Questioner: Our interest is also gradually decreasing,
