Whatever actions that are seen in this world, are the discharging of karma that has previously been charged. A person has nothing to do with it. There, he does the egoism that I have done samayik (introspective analysis as Self). One binds karma there, and gets entrapped. He is indulged in the pride of doership there!

If a person does five samayiks (introspective analysis by being as Self) he will say, ‘I did five’. This is how he will taste the sweet pride of doer-ship. Actually, he should say “it was due to God’s grace that five samayiks were done.” He should not taste the sweet pride of doer-ship.

While experiencing effect (prarabdha – effect of past lives causes) the seed of illusory self effort (bhrant purushartha) is sown because one has the awareness [belief] of ‘I am the doer’. Otherwise, one simply experiences the effect and after then attains liberation!

With true understanding, intoxication (that “I Know”, “I am something”) will come down. Intoxication will not come down with wrong understanding.

The one who has egoism and 'my-ness'; the one who believes that “I am the doer,” are all considered to be ‘jiva’ (living beings). And the ones who have realized that “I am not the doer, I am simply the ‘knower and seer’ with the form of eternal-bliss,” is the Soul!

Two lines, a line of knowledge and a line of action, run separately. But if you mix tea and buttermilk, it becomes unsavory. In the same way, in those people who live in illusory vision & do not have Self-realization (agnani), these two lines of Knowledge and action have become one and that is why they have been in a disturbed state.

Nature is not some entity. Nature means coming together of circumstances. The effort of circumstances coming together is nature and the circumstances came together is ‘vyavasthit’ (Scientific circumstantial evidences).

A person tastes the sweet pride of doer-ship by saying ‘I did this so well’. The taste of this subtle pride seems to be very sweet. There is suffering with the false imputation (of doer-ship). God is in the state of eternal bliss, and that is indeed the nature of the Self!

It is considered ignorance of the Self (ignorance of I am the soul) where intoxication (that “I Know”, “I am something”) increases.
