Once you are in the state of the Soul [Real Self, I am Pure Soul] then you do not have to complain.

Once the state of duality is gone, then know that you have attained the Main Soul [One’s Own Original Real Self]. You must attain a state free from duality.

If you remain in the state of ‘I am Pure Soul’, then despite activities, you are inactive (non-doer) and if [your belief is] ‘I am Chandubhai’, then even if you are sleeping and snoring away, you are active (doer).

Good’ and ‘bad’ (right and wrong) are (thoughts) based on the intellect [buddhi]. Stay away from it and keep anasakatayog [state devoid of attraction/attachment]. What is the nature of the ‘Soul’ (Our Real Self)? ‘Anasakta’ [devoid of attraction/attachment]. ‘You’ also become ‘Anasakta’ by your (inherent) nature.

When one is attracted towards a woman; it is ‘asakti’ [infatuation]. But when the soul [relative self] gets engrossed into it; that is ‘attachment’ [raag].

The ‘Pure Love’ of the ‘Gnani Purush’ [the enlightened one] that neither increases nor decreases, the love that remains constant, is the Absolute Supreme Self (Parmatma). He is the openly visible Parmatma and His embodiment of knowledge (Gnan swarooop) is ‘subtle Parmatma’.

The nature of the Atma, the Self (Soul) is bliss indeed. So it does not want unpleasant feelings at all, does it? Every living being will not favor unpleasant feelings and will move away from that place! We should grasp the ultimate talk (understanding). Treat favorable (pleasant) and unfavorable (unpleasant) as being one and the same.

Real Soul [Self, Atma] sees everyone as without faults (nirdosh). Therefore there is no such thing as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ there. When others are seen as faultless, bliss arises.

Pudgal’s [Complex of intake and output; body complex] nature is input (puran) and output (galan). If preference is given to smooth things, the same thing will come back being rough. Therefore make “friendship” with roughness. Make likable the very things you will not like. The Soul [Atma] has infinite facets. Whichever facet one turns to, He [The Soul] becomes like that facet.
