Some people say that they employ deceit and deception out of fear, but fear of what? The one with the fault will have fear, is that not so?
He who has the intense burning desire and craving for liberation will not be touched by any hindrances in the path of liberation.
‘ I know’ is the biggest hindrance in the path of liberation! It causes death of the Self.‘ I know’ brings on intoxication that is very difficult to remove! The face of the one without the intoxication of‘ I know’ is attractive. The rising of the belief of‘ I know’ after Gnan is tremendous lack of awareness.
If one attempts to solve problems with the attitude of‘ I know’, it will only complicate matters further.
If sweetness prevails in‘ I know’, it will sprout. There, one should erase it quickly, as soon as it sprouts, pluck it out. Otherwise, this ailment will grow and it will ruin the awareness of the Self.
All the danger signals in the path to liberation should be known from the Gnani Purush. Then only, will the safe-side be maintained. Otherwise, there is no telling where the‘ ship’ will end up.
The law is: the one who wants to attain only liberation will always find the correct path.
8. Awareness( jagruti): Desire to be worshipped( poojavani kaamna)
By matching our understanding with the Gnani’ s understanding, we walk parallel to Him. If we don’ t, there is no telling when the path to liberation will change direction. On the path to final liberation, not a single degree of an individual’ s own understanding will work. One has been wandering around life after life because he has not attained the right understanding.
