Whatever you do in your worldly life, is all worldly vision. Until the line of demarcation (between the real and relative vision) is drawn, you have attained nothing.

If a person wants to walk on the path of the Vitrag (Enlightened Ones), he should turn the upayog (applied awareness) from bad to good. And if the person wants to attain moksha (ultimate liberation), he should keep shudha upayog (pure applied awareness as the Self). The person who wants to attain moksha should not get into the intricacy of good or bad, and should keep them both as things to be ‘discharged’.

When one understands that he cannot ‘do’ anything in this world and that everything is vyavasthit [result of scientific circumstantial evidence], and if this has come into his experience; he is said to have attained Self-realization.

Shuddha Upayog (pure applied awareness as the Self) is the same as Parmatma Swaroop (embodiment of the absolute Self).

Women have an encircling wall of deceit around them; therefore, they are not aware of deception, it is their natural attribute. Men have the entanglement of egoism; egoism does not let them see that entanglement. After attaining the Knowledge of the Self, men have to keep ‘seeing’ the egoism and the women have to keep seeing the deceit.

However much understanding one has, that much contentment he has done. As much contentment he does, that much liberation he has. It is indeed here that liberation is experienced. To remain in contentment means to be in moksha; to become contended [absorbed] in one's own Self [Soul].

Upayog (applied awareness) is considered as Jagruti (awakened awareness).

Where anger-pride-deceit-greed is absent, the worldly interactions are pure. Or else, if there is attentive awareness [upayog] over them, till then it is acceptable.

As much upayog (applied awareness) as one can keep, that much authority has been created. If one can keep upayog for five hours, then the authority for five hours has been created. If complete swa-satta (authority of the Self) occurs, then he has become God.
