Agnan (ignorance) is gnan (knowledge) also. Agnan is nothing else- it is not darkness. But it is a light to illuminate the non-Self. It is the light to show the non-Self. And Gnan illuminates the Self and the non-Self.

Agnan will not let one know 'Who he is,' and Gnan lets one know his own Self.

Worldly life is not an impediment, agnan (ignorance of the Self) is. Ignorance of the one's own Self is the impediment.

As soon as the awareness 'I am Chandubhai' occurs, one will feel, 'all this worldly life is mine.' ' I am Chandhubhai,' should be dramatic, so that it would not hinder him from within.

Result of agnan (ignorance) is ego.

Who gives the support to this world? One’s own self does. And then he wants liberation! Hence, he will have to stop supporting it.

There is only this much difference between a Gnani (the one who is Self-realized) and an agnani (one without Self-realization). The Gnani is constantly in the natural state of the Self (Swa-parinati) and the agnani cannot remain in the natural state of the Self even for a moment. There is no other difference. The Gnani does not have any horns, He wears clothes too; the only difference is in the parinaam (result; internal state of being)!

Questioner: Do all worldly actions go to waste? Dadashri: No, it depends on the purpose. If the purpose is Liberation, then one will come across circumstances for liberation. If the purpose is the passion for worldly pleasures, then one will find befitting circumstances.

The Knowledge that does not manifest into conduct; that is not Knowledge at all, it is ignorance (aGnan). Gnan [true Knowledge] is always bound to manifest into conduct.
