WHO AM I? 43
All the other paths are called‘ kramic’. The Kramic path is a relative path.‘ Relative’ means that it provides worldly benefits, taking you very slowly towards liberation, one step at a time. In this path, one has to purify his ego through renunciation and penance. Once the ego is pure, it is at the threshold of moksha. The ego has to be purified from the weaknesses of anger, pride, illusion, lust, and greed. The Kramic path is a very difficult one. In the Akram path, the Gnani Purush purifies your ego for you. He takes away both your ego and your attachment. Then, you attain the experience of the pure Self. Only after you experience your Self, your work is done.
WHY HAS THE AKRAM PATH COME INTO EXISTENCE?
The Kramic path is synonymous to a‘ comma’ and the Akram path is synonymous to a‘ full stop.’ This Akram path manifests itself rarely. The main path to moksha is the Kramic path. It is a step-by-step path. Sometimes when confusion prevails in the traditional Kramic path, and if people are ready for liberation, they will find salvation through a Gnani Purush.
Many teachers and gurus have asked me why the Akram path manifested through me. I have told them that the Kramic path has broken down. The entire foundation of the Kramic path has decayed. They wanted proof of this, so I told them that the Kramic path is viable only when thoughts, speech, and actions are in unison with each other,( i. e. when you say exactly that which is in your mind, and your conduct is in agreement with your mind and speech). They agreed that at that present time, there was no oneness of thought, speech, and action. That is why the Kramic path is fractured.
If you chew a whole stalk of sugarcane you may get two segments with good sugarcane juice. But if the entire stalk were rotten would you try to chew it or return it?
