Nischay (the firm resolve to remain as the Self) is within One's [the Self] control (Swadhin), vyavahaar (the relative; worldly interactions) is out of One's control (paradhin; subject to scientific circumstantial evidences) whereas the resultant effect [of vyavahaar] is even further out of One's control. We [the Self] only have to make the firm resolve to remain as the Self and not worry about vyavahaar. Vyavahaar is subject to external factors such as scientific circumstantial evidences.

That which does not make one to do artadhyan (mournful contemplation that hurts the self) and raudradhyan (wrathful contemplation that hurts the self and others) is called the Atma (the Soul).

Vyavahaar (the relative; worldly interactions) is something that needs to be settled (nikaali), whereas Nischay (the firm resolve to remain as the Self) is something that is to be acquired (grahaniya).

The one who misses out on remaining as the Self (Nischay), his worldly interactions (vyavahaar) can never really be ‘vyavahaar’.

The One who is free from the intent of anger-pride-deceit-greed (kashay bhaav) is referred to as God.

To constantly see one’s own (self) as ‘pure’, and to see other’s (self) as ‘pure’, is shuddha upayog (Pure applied awareness as the Self).

There is a linking chain in the form of kashay (anger-pride-deceit-greed) between the Self and the non-Self.

Nothing in this world can affect the one who is a shuddha upayogi (one who lives with pure applied awareness as the Self).

From where have kashay (anger-pride-deceit-greed) come into existence? From vishay (sensual pleasure). It is not the fault of vishay, but it is the fault of ignorance of the Self. The root cause is ignorance of the Self.
