time cycle. Now this fifth era of the time cycle is always like it
is. In every fifth era, there is an existence of a Gnani Purush.
Otherwise, what would become of this world and the spiritual
realm of the final Tirthankar? It will become a jungle. Therefore,
there is always a presence of support of this kind or another.
Once the support is there, things continue. The spiritual realm
will shine. It will shine a lot.
The current spiritual realm is not ‘ours.’ ‘We’ are

befitting for a Tirthankar but not for ‘us.’ ‘We’ simply give
support to it.
This Gnan of ‘ours’ is simply the same Vignan (science
of Self-realization). But it has arisen for people who have become
entangled in nooks and crannies. At the moment, many people

How straightforward is the Gnan of the Lord! This straight
line and that straight line! It has north, north-west, south, and
south-west, etc., but with exact approach and direction. Whereas
with these nooks, there are nooks within the nooks within the
nooks, and one goes around in circles and comes back to the
same place again. That is why this traditional Kramic path has
become useless. That is why this Akram Vignan has manifested.
Akram means there is no such thing as progressing one
step at a time. One does not have to do anything in this path.
In the presence of the Gnani Purush, all your demerit karma can
be destroyed; that is how much energy there is in this Gnani.
There is energy of all kinds here and yet the Gnani Purush does
not want to become the owner of that realm. Why would he
