WHO AM I ?
this fence of five aagnas becomes weak then, chances are,
someone will enter and spoil the contents. Then I have to come
and repair the fence. So if you stay within the five aagnas, I
guarantee your eternal bliss.
These five aagnas are given for your protection. I have
given you the Gnan and the knowledge of separation. But in
order for this separation to prevail, I give you the five aagnas
for further protection. This age is that of kaliyug (deceit, dark

into a full-bloomed tree, you will have to water it and nurture
it. You will have to provide protection and create a small
enclosure to protect the young plant.

laziness under such circumstances will not do at all. If you
remain within my aagnas, you can experience the bliss of Lord

let you stay in the five aagnas. Maintaining the ‘Knower-Known’
state (the state of ‘I’ in the correct place as the Knower or
Observer and the ‘Known’ being file number one, Chandulal),
you will be beyond these tendencies of your mind. Do not
accommodate these tendencies. Do not be pleased wit h any of
your previous tendencies. They may express in all different ways
and may dance around you and mesmerize you. That does not
mean that ‘You’ have slipped. They may even cause variable
anxiety and tribulations. If this happens, it only clouds the state
