Through pure knowledge is Moksha (ultimate liberation), through auspicious knowledge is worldly happiness, through wrong knowledge is misery.

The path to Ultimate Liberation (moksha) is not difficult. The worldly life is difficult. The path to Ultimate Liberation is the easiest; compared to it even making rice is more difficult to make.

This happened to me, I am doing this’ not like that, but when ‘I know this’ prevails, if one remains the ‘knower-seer ‘, then no causes will be formed.

People ask, ‘Did the soul do all this?’ No, it is only scientific circumstantial evidence. How is that? If you stand in front of a mirror, then even if you do not wish for it, does your reflection not show up “exactly” in the mirror? The soul does not have the power or the ability to walk but due to karmic discharge (of previous lives deeds) it is able to go all the way to the abode of the liberated Souls (Siddha Kshetra).

One forgets agnan (worldly knowledge) when he remains in Gnan (Knowledge of the Real Self, the Soul). Man can be in only one place.

Energy of pudgal [that which charges and discharges, complex of intake and output] is used in knowing the knowledge of ignorance based knowledge [agnan, all other knowledge other than knowledge of the self], and prayer is required to be done to know the knowledge of Gnan [Knowledge of the Soul, our Real Self].

Agnan (‘ignorance of the self’ based knowledge) takes one down and in that, the energies of the pudgal (non-Self complex, that which charges and discharges) keeps on coming. Whereas the Knowledge [self realized knowledge] that takes one higher, because it has to go against the pudgal [non-self complex], one will have to ask for the energy, only then can he go higher.

You do not have to get rid of (any) thing [vastu], just extract the interest [ras] out of it. The entire world is struggling to get rid of things. Things will not go away, they are preordained. Only the interest in them needs to be removed.
