Who is considered as not living in the sansar (worldly life)? The one who does not have the upayog (applied awareness) of the non-Self. ‘I’ (the Gnani Purush) do not live in the worldly life even for one moment. Moksha (liberation) is attained through the one who does not live in worldly life. What can you not attain through the grace of such a person?

When does samadhi (blissful peace) arise? When one lets loose the things that he loves.

We are 'chetan' (Soul, eternal element), while obstacles are 'nis-chetan' (non-living). Therefore, 'chetan' will ultimately win!

That which cannot be seen by the eyes, nor heard by the ears, is ‘chetan’ (Soul, eternal element). That which can be heard by the ears; 'Television' can be seen, a ‘record’ can be heard; all that is not ‘chetan’. The ‘chetan’ can only be seen with divya chakshu (divine vision).

One will keep on charging new karma as long as there is the awareness of ‘I am the doer’. In the ‘akram-marg’ (step-less, direct path to Self-realization), ‘We’ (enlightened one, Dadabhagwan) dissolve your ‘doer-ship’. The awareness that ‘I am the doer’ goes away and the understanding of ‘who the doer is’ is given. Therefore, the charging (of karma) stops! What is left now? Only the form of ‘discharge’ is left.

When the charging (of karma) stops, the binding of new 'sansar' (worldly life) ends. The state that 'I am the doer' never leaves without a 'Gnani' (Enlightened one).

Gnan (knowledge) of every living being of the entire world exists in a Soul. However, only the Gnan that is able to see the ego and everything as gneya (object to be known) is considered as 'Gnan'. Yet, that is still ansh-gnan (partial knowledge), and is considered as upayog (applied awareness as the Self) from that moment on. Where there is Gnan, there is upayog, either partially or completely.

If one person in the household is preoccupied with thoughts of worries, then other people in the household will be affected by the vibrations of each others, and what if he were to become free from worries then?

Worries occur because one has believed the phases of the body complex (pudgal – the mind, body, speech…) as his own.
