Where there is no merit karma (punya) or demerit karma
(paap), where there is no piousness or unholiness, where there
is no dualism, where the Self has illuminated in the perfectly pure
form – such is the state of a Gnani. If one gives adjectives to
such a Gnani, the giver opens up to liability! To pay respect
using adjectives to the one who has attained the absolute state
is like decorating sunlight with a candle; yet one supports his ego
by claiming, ‘How well I described the Gnani!’ What can we
say to this? What can we do?
Every talk of the Gnani is original. There is not a drop of
scriptures in His speech, there is no shadow of other preachers
at all nor is there the language of any founder of a major religion!
His examples and similes are exclusive. Even in His spontaneous,
lively humor there is unfailing, deep meaning and originality. Here
before the Gnani, everyone has the clear experience that he is
removing his own conflicts by himself in his own language!
Experiential knowledge is contained in the heart of the
Gnani. The one who is thirsty can attain satisfaction by dipping
his vessel of surrender in the well of the Gnani’s heart.
The Gnani’s speech of knowledge, His words from
experience, His heartfelt solutions about removing our mistakes,
are solutions that are to be found nowhere else. His child like
frankness and innocence come to surface and clearly indicate
Him as a Gnani!
Every statement of the Gnani dances with joy on the
highest stage of our heart!
Whoever has gone to the Gnani with a problem, the Gnani
initially reads it as it is and ends his misery in such a natural way
that, in just moments, the seeker is left with a feeling of awe and
wonder of, ‘Oh! I had this much difference of understanding in
my vision?’ Instead of the outward vision, if the vision was
turned around 180º inward, the resolution could have been
attained a long time ago! But let alone 180º, how can one turn
even 1º by his own effort? That is the task of only the Gnani
Purush.
