The light seen during meditation is gneya (thing to be ‘known’) and the Knower (Gnata) of that is the Self, and the Self is the Knower. The purpose of human life is to attain liberation! And for that, one should find a Gnani Purush and with his grace, the purpose is fulfilled. Pure Soul (Shuddhatma) and circumstances (saiyog); only these two are there in this universe. And every circumstance, by nature is prone to dissociate. When one surrenders all circumstances, moksha happens. The one who does not have artadhyan (meditation that hurts the self) or raudradhyan (meditation that hurts the self and others) is in the state of samayik (being the Self and ‘seeing’ the self) for the whole day. In the path of Akram Vignan one can remain in samayik all the time. For the one who cannot get rid of artadhyan and raudradhyan, to sit in a forty-eight minute samayik and remain free from the former two, is said to have done a true samayik. However, in order to do this, before sitting in the samayik, one has to make a resolution of, ‘Oh God! I, ‘Chandubhai’ am surrendering to you my name, my body, my self, my illusion and everything. Please give me a vitarag (absolutely unattached) state while I am doing samayik!’ What are the attributes of the one who will become a Tirthankar (the absolutely enlightened One with a human body who liberates millions)? Such a One has a continuous desire for salvation of the world, and there is no other desire at all; this intent of salvation of the world remains the same no matter what type of food, drink, dwelling or bedding is available. Only those who have attained their own absolute salvation can help others attain the same. Only such a one can make such intent for the salvation of the entire world. One can arrive at that stage if one remains in the Agnas of the Gnani and becomes deserving of His grace. 30
