not to object to it and to rely only upon the right vision.
Everyone will speak according to what they understand but you
should rely only on the right vision.
No matter what worldly obstructions may arise in the path
of liberation, Akram Vignan is such and its path is such that one
can surmount all of them. If one says, ‘it is difficult…it is
difficult,’ then it will become difficult for him.
‘Why should I care?’ is one statement that should not be
uttered by anyone. Saying this creates separation. Where ‘what
do I care, what is it to me?’ exists, one should do pratikraman
and turn it around. The one who says, ‘What do I care?’ has
become (nispruha), rejecting attitude. This is a grave danger for
the Self.
One has to ensure; be continuously aware that the path to
final liberation is not missed.
The path to final liberation is missed if one asks, ‘what
were they saying about me when I was gone?’ Let people say
whatever they want to about you. Such questions come up only
if one has deceit (kapat). To engage in such a practice is to hide
the Self.
It is considered a grave disease to eavesdrop in order to
catch something being said about you. The world will talk if you
are at fault, so why should there be any objection? If anyone
speaks negatively about you, let him, it is of benefit to You. You
need to remain strong. Even a small mistake in this matter can
create terrible problems. The deceit in you leads the mind to
secretly listen in on other people’s conversation.
If you happen to listen to what others are saying about
you, it will disrupt your sanity. The one talking might have said
it casually without much thought, but look how it ruins your mind
and sleep.
