detached from attachment and abhorrence (Vitarag vignan) is
such that, it annihilates all pain and suffering (dukh); that science
itself is such that it frees you from all misery (dukh). Furthermore,
science (vignan) is like that; science always functions
independently to produce results (kriyakari). Therefore, once
you know this science, the science itself picks up the work, and
does it all; you do not have to do a thing. As long as you have
to do something, the intellect (buddhi) is there. And as long as
the intellect exists, the ego (ahamkar) will be there; and as long
as the ego is around, you will not succeed in bringing an end to
any of this, even if you wanted to.
Questioner: How can one begin to change this vision

happen, when you meet a Gnani Purush, and you come to hear
his satsang, that is when your vision will gradually start changing.
At this moment, while you are listening, your vision is changing
a little. In doing that, as you become more familiar in one or two
months, your vision will change. If not, then you should just say
to the Gnani Purush, ‘Sir, will you change my vision (drashti)?’,
and in a matter of a day, or only just one hour, he will change
it for you.
Gnan Opens Up the Truth
Winding and entanglement of wrong belief (bhranti) has
happened. Nothing has happened to the Atma. The Atma has
remained as it is. Only the layers of coverings (avaran) of illusion
have wound themselves around it, and because of that, the egoism
(ahamkar) has arisen. Then it is the egoism that becomes the
doer-sufferer (karta-bhokta); it suffers pain (dukh), and it is
also the one that enjoys pleasure (sukh).
It is to those who excessively use their intellect
(buddhishadi), that through their intellect (buddhi), the Atma
appears to be doing something; therefore it must also be
