How much knowledge is there in one Soul (Atma)? However many living beings there are in this world, if the knowledge of all those living beings was to be put together, there is that much knowledge present in one Soul!

The pure Soul is the One that Knows and Sees. The one that engages in attachment and abhorrence is the discharging relative self (pratishthit atma)!

Samkit (awareness of ‘I am pure Soul’) is a vision. The moment one’s vision turns (from ‘I am Chandubhai’ to ‘I am pure Soul’), samkit has occurred.

You are Soul’ and this is Pudgal [the body-complex, the one that charges-discharges]! If you become afraid, the body-complex will attack you! The whole world may do anything but you should not get startled! This body may get paralyzed or get burned but ‘I (the Self) never incurs any loss’. If loss occurs, it will occur to the body-complex, ‘In our home [We’ (the Self)] never incur any loss. Each’s business is separate, interactions are separate and the shop is separate.

There are two types of worldly life: renouncing [tyaag] is a worldly life and family life [gruhasti] is also a worldly life. Those who renounce are constantly in the knowledge of ‘I am renouncing…I am renouncing’. And the family man prevails in the knowledge of ‘I am acquiring…I am taking…I am giving’. But the one, who attains knowledge of the self [soul], will attain liberation (moksha). Where does one acquire Knowledge of the Self? From the ‘Gnani Purush’ [the Enlightened One].

What is the Soul like? It is in the form of projected imagination. When one falsely believes ‘I am Chandubhai’, that additional inner intent (vishesh bhaav) is a vikalp (wrong imaginary projection). ‘I am the boss’ is a second vikalp. ‘I am his uncle’ is the third vikalp. There are numerous such vikalps.

There is no support - support-taker relationship in the Self. The support - support-taker relationships apply to worldly self’s ‘temporary’ things. The permanent Self element has no support - support-taker relationship. Whatever can be perceived with these five senses is all due to the relationship between the support and the support taker.

All the rules are encompassed within scientific circumstantial evidences. Even niyati (natural flow of progress of an embodied soul) is incorporated within vyavasthit.

Where one 'does' anything, there samkit (the right belief of 'I am pure Soul') cannot be attained.
