of ‘interim government’ (antaratma). When all karmas are discharged one becomes Parmatma (the absolute Self). After attaining the pure Self all tendencies (vruttis) of the chit flow towards the Self. Whether the chit is kept in the pure Soul or in Dada Bhagwan, it will remain pure. Chit that is wandering around in worldly matters is called impure chit; it is mishrachetan (mixture of the Self and the non-Self), and when the chit becomes pure, it is the same as pure Soul. Once the laksha (awareness), ‘I am pure Soul’ has set in; that verily is Self- realization and that is considered the interim state of the Self (antaratma dasha). What is the difference between chit and pragnya? Pragnya is the direct light of the Self. The chit wanders around, however, after it becomes pure, it does not wander. Pragnya shakti (liberating energy of the Self) does not go out of the body. Pragnya is a part of the Self; it is a direct energy; it keeps Gnan separate from ignorance (agnan) at all times! By understanding that which is in the understanding of the Gnani, the total karma of the illusion (mohaniya karma) can be destroyed. ‘Avoid clashes’. It is only when one becomes free from all prejudices, that one attains salvation. After attaining Self-realization, through Akram Vignan, the awareness, ‘I am pure Soul’, should remain. It should be in the vision that, ‘in every living being there is pure Soul’, whether that living being is the one who insults you or the one who has picked your pocket! After knowing the Self everyone has to settle with his pudgal (non-Self complex) and its interactions. Every individual has the obstruction of the religion that he follows and that is called the religious pudgal. A Jain has a Jain pudgal, a Vaishnav has a Vaishnav pudgal; which is the obstruction in the path of moksha. Moksha is only possible when these pudgals are settled. 27
