What is the purpose of writing scriptures? It is a thermometer (gauge). So that one may know that ‘what is written in the scriptures is right (correct) and what we are saying is wrong (incorrect)’.

The scriptures are the instruments and how to use these instruments is a science itself. One goes wandering around for infinite lives because he doesn’t have the knowledge of this science!

When a baby comes out of the mother’s womb; it comes out upside-down; head-first. Who did this? Can the baby turn itself around? Does the doctor pull it? Does the mother push it? Who does it? It is an ‘effect’! It is the ‘result’! The ‘causes’ that were there from before [from past life]; will naturally bring forth an ‘effect’.

Everything is happening according to the ‘drawing’ [past causes], You just have to ‘see’ them. Desires are ‘drawings’ too.

To talk [negatively] about someone specific is considered slander. You need to have a general understanding about things. Slandering someone is a sign of going to a lower life form in the next birth.

Once you have learned how to subtract the gross form of ‘my’, subtract the subtle form of ‘my’. Thereafter, subtract the subtler and the subtlest forms. After subtracting all that, ‘I’ [Self] will be separate!

Worldly life is based on ‘action’ and the spiritual life is based on ‘knowing’. One does the action and the other ‘sees’. The ‘doer’ and the ‘knower’ can never be the same, they are always separate. They were separate, they are separate and they will remain separate.

In Akram (the stepless scientific path to moksh), we do not look at anyone’s worthiness at all. If we were to look for that, then no one is worth in the current time cycle (to get the knowledge of the self realization).

In fact, this 'Akram Vignan' is scientific! It is a science! It is exact! Whereas everything else is simply 'discharge' that is taking place!
