him through his words. You can tell by just looking into his eyes.
The Gnani Purush has so many signs of indisputable proof. His
every word is a scripture. His speech, actions, and humility are
so beautiful that they win you over. He has many unique qualities.
What are the qualities of a Gnani Purush? The radiance
of the sun and the coolness of the moon are part of his nature.
Both these opposite attributes are to be found together in the
Gnani Purush. Nowhere in this world, can one find such a smile
of complete liberation. His serene smile makes one forget his
miseries.
The Gnani Purush does not have a drop of intellect (buddhi
-the light of knowledge which comes through the medium of the
ego). The Gnani Purush is aboodh (without buddhi). How many
such people are around? Once in a while, when such a person
is around, he will liberate hundreds and thousands of people. A
Gnani Purush does not have even the slightest ego. There is not
a single person in this world that is egoless.
Rarely, every few thousand years or so, a Gnani Purush
is born. There is an abundance of saints and experts of scriptures,
but there are no Self-Realized persons. Gnanis have full
knowledge of the Soul. The knower of the Soul is full of bliss
and does not experience any internal or external suffering. In the
presence of such a person, you too, can achieve your liberation.
He who is realized can help others achieve realization. Without
a Gnani, it is impossible to achieve Atmagnan.
