simply ‘seeing’ the relative self (prakruti) that is caught in
emotional agitation. However, because of ignorance he takes it
upon himself by claiming, ‘I am caught in this emotional
agitation.’ And as a consequence he actually becomes trapped!
What causes emotional agitation? It is the intellect
(buddhi). It is the intellect that brings one from vega towards
aavega and ultimately towards udvega, meaning it is the
intellect that takes one from non-consequential motion or a

emotional agitation (udvega) and it is the intellect that gives rise
to suspicions (shanka).
When the power of intellect does not bring about a
solution, one gets puzzled and then suspicions are created.
Suspicion means one has deep ignorance.
In Akram Vignan, in order to save one’s self from the
ravages of suspicion, by understanding the scientific knowledge
of vyavasthit (this is the subtle coming together and functioning
of ‘scientific circumstantial evidences’ in all actions), as given in
the form of Agna (spiritual directives) by the Gnani Purush, one
can remain in a steady suspicion-less state (nihshank).
If suspicion enters into the mind as a result of seeing a
snake entering the house; that suspicion will not go away until
the snake is seen leaving the house. Suspicion will not be born
at all if the knowledge of ‘scientific circumstantial evidence’
(vyavasthit) is understood.
The Vignan (science) that has manifested through the
divine words of the Gnani is the extract of his analysis of his
experiences of countless past lives. The original knowledge of
freedom attained as a result of going through every phase of
numerous innate natures (prakrutis), is the research of the
Gnani Purush!
Many incidents occur in the lives of men, wherein they
