And why do ‘we’ call it the pure Soul (Shuddhatma)? It
is because it is not affected by any impurities (ashuddhatma),
despite going through the entire worldly life. But the belief ‘I am
Shuddhatma (I am a pure Soul)’ does not become established,
does it? ‘How can I be pure? I do so many bad deeds, I do
this and I do that, etc.’ So the belief ‘I am pure’ does not
become established, and the suspicion, ‘How can you say ‘I am
a pure Soul’?’ continues.
After attaining this Gnan, You have an established
awareness (laksha) of ‘I am a pure Soul’. Therefore, regardless
of whether you do good deeds or bad deeds, You are not the
doer of those deeds. You are pure. You will not become tainted
by the good deeds or the bad deeds and therefore you are verily
pure (shuddha). ‘We’ tell You that nothing is going to touch
You, when ‘we’ give you Gnan. You will progress once You
become suspicion-free (nihshank) about this. If you become
suspicious, then you will be bound by it but if you do not
become suspicious, then You are free. It will not affect You if
you remain in Dada’s Agnas.
The main fact is that it is not worth having any suspicion.
Really, You are not doing anything. You are not doing any such
actions. It is merely a delusion; it is a twisted perception.
Therefore, the word ‘Shuddhatma’ is the sangnya (a symbol) to
understand that the Soul is pure, has been pure and it always will
be pure. So it becomes unshakably established if You remain in
that understanding. After that the Self attains the Absolute state,
full enlightenment as the Self, called kevalgnan.
The original Self is the absolute Self (kevalgnan swaroop).
So then, what is the difference between You and ‘us’? ‘We’
remain as ‘kevalgnan swaroop’ as the absolute Self and You,
the mahatmas remain as Shuddhatma (the pure Self). The
suspicions You have about the original Self are gone, so all other
suspicions have gone away. Still some, who by their old ways
