What is the Soul? What is it like? This kind of suspicion
is most difficult to get rid of without the help of a Gnani Purush.
Who is the owner of anger, pride, deceit, and greed? How is
one to understand this? Only the Gnani can make us understand
and help us be rid of them.
What is the Soul? What is it like? Life is to be spent
thinking about this, not in the bedroom or cinema or hotels!!
When do all the different types of suspicions go away?
They go away, when one becomes free from attachments
(vitarag) and free from all fears.
Who has suspicion about the Soul? The Self does not
have suspicions at all. Actually, the ‘relative self’ suspects the
existence of the Self.
He who becomes suspicion-free in the matter of the Soul
is in a state of permanent liberation!
Up until now whatever knowledge one moved around
with, whatever tools of knowledge he utilized, starting from the
time he became suspicious about that knowledge and the tools,
to the point of becoming completely suspicion-less (nihshankta)
regarding the Soul, (the Self), that entire duration of period in
spirituality is regarded as having suspicion with reference to the
Soul. Once that suspicion-less-ness (nihshankta) occurs, one
becomes free of fears (nirbhayta)! And where there is
fearlessness, there is a state of nonattachment (asangata) in the
presence of all attachments!
Akram Vignan is to be applauded in wonder that within
one hour of the miraculous Gnan Vidhi (the one hour spiritual
process of Self-realization), one becomes permanently suspicion-
free about the Soul.
Suspicion about the Soul cannot go away by reading
books. A manifest Gnani is required there. As one knows more
