Nothing can touch the one who is oodasin (one unperturbed by worldly life). After attaining Knowledge of the Self, if one applies awareness of the Self, one can remain unperturbed (oodasin).

As long as there is (worldly) selfish interest, there is no unity. Unity is attained with the ultimate intent of the Self [the intent of attaining self-realization, liberation].

Even the slightest criticism of others is an impediment (hindrance) to Absolute Knowledge (Kevalgnan, Absolute Enlightenment). It also hinders Atmagnan (Knowledge of the Self), also hinders Samkit (Self-realization).

Where there is no solution, there One should keep Seeing-Knowing. If one has not attained Atmagnan (Knowledge of the Self), even then he can keep seeing through indriya gnan (knowledge attained through the medium of the sense organs). However, there is a difference between seeing through indriya gnan and Seeing through the Knowledge of the Self. In seeing through indriya gnan, egoism is present!

The human life is the only one in which one can experience the Soul [One’ own Real Self]. There is no other life form, not even that of the celestial beings that can attain the experience of the Self [Self Realization].

What is the direct cause of liberation? Dwelling in the Self (Swaramanata). The entire world dwells in the non-Self (par-ramanata).

Atma ramanata (dwelling in the Self) arises after experiencing the Self, until then Atma ramanata cannot arise at all.

Envisioning that, 'I am Atma (the Self) and these are my guna-dharmas (intrinsic properties that have a specific function)'; that is to prevail in one's real form (Swaroop) and intrisic nature (Swabhaav) is Swaramanata (dwelling as the Self).

As long as the intrinsic nature of the Self (Swabhaav) has not arisen, has not been experienced, it is indeed the prakruti (the relative self) at play. After the experience of the intrinsic nature of the Self (Swabhaav), one only dwells in the Self.
