The understanding that gives rise to intoxication (that “I Know”, “I am something”); that is not the talks of the enlightened one’s (Vitarags).

Any action carried out in this world is an illusion (bhranti). One becomes free from illusion when he becomes aware of his real Self.

Forgiveness is not to be given by speaking. Forgiveness is natural and spontaneously there. Spontaneous forgiveness is a sign of having attained the Self Realization.

The paths, that makes one wander around, are such that they attract the chit. The path to Moksha (ultimate liberation) does not attract the chit.

The one who has egoism and 'my-ness'; the one who believes that “I am the doer,” are all considered to be ‘jiva’ (living beings). And the ones who have realized that “I am not the doer, I am simply the ‘knower and seer’ with the form of eternal-bliss,” is the Soul!

There is no means other than Vitaraag Vignan (Science that leads to the absolute state free of attachment-abhorrence) that can give Moksha (ultimate liberation). Other methods will cause bondage and will only help to pass the time. Through Gnani Purush (Enlightened One), one is able to attain the Eternal thing (Soul).

In scriptures, there is knowledge about the different methods, it does not have the knowledge of the ultimate goal (to experience Pure Soul). Gnani (Enlightened One) has the knowledge of the ultimate goal. Knowledge about the goal, which is the Soul, is obtained as a result of Gnani’s grace.

The knowledge of this world is not considered knowledge, it is worldly knowledge. Scriptural knowledge is considered as instrumental knowledge. Knowledge of the ‘ultimate goal’ (to experience Pure Soul) is the (real) knowledge. Scriptures are instruments and the knowledge within the scriptures is also an instrument. Whereas, the knowledge of the Self is the ultimate goal!

An instrument that does not help to attain the ultimate goal (Self realization) cannot be considered as spirituality at all!
