world is flawless (nirdosh), the one who kills is faultless, the one
who dies is faultless, and the one who saves the dying is also
faultless!
The root of all misery is ignorance (agnan). Because of
ignorance there are kashays (anger-pride-deceit-greed) and it is
verily the kashays that bite and sting you day and night!
After Self-realization rituals such as chanting, penance,
etc., are no longer necessary. Just remaining in the Agnas of the
Gnani Purush brings moksha.
Only upon meeting the Gnani can a separation within be
attained and only then is one able to ‘see’ within, and because
of this one becomes free.
When the Gnani speaks of the experiences of the Self,
the intellect grasps it, but that too, only when one listens to the
Gnani’s direct speech that the intellect becomes samyak (right),
and only the samyak intellect can grasp it; otherwise it does not
pass beyond the ears. The Gnani’s words flow after having
touched the absolute Self and that is why they are able to touch
the listener; it breaks down all the barriers and consequently his
mind, intellect, chit and ego are able to accept them. People’s
words are spoken after they have touched their mind; therefore,
they only touch the listener’s mind.
When there is involvement in circumstances, there will be
uneasiness and when one dwells in the Self, there is continuous
steadiness! The Self ‘knows’ the state of the non-Self complex
and the Self stays the Self. Thus, all the barriers are broken
down and everything is cleansed.
The Gnani is always in a state that is detached from the
body. He is only in the Knower-Seer state. Therefore, no pain
can touch Him at all. The nature of the Self is such that no pain
can touch It!
