What is the inherent nature of the relative self (pratisthit atma) like? It mimics what it sees, it does not have to be taught anything.

People will cook out the vegetables of you [people will take your benefit]; If a mango is unripe, they will grate and make pickle; If a mango is ripe, they will suck out all the juice and pulp from it.

There are two ways by which one will realize the life’s goal. If we have not met a Gnani Purush, then we should live life in such a way, that we hurt no one. Our highest goal should be to not hurt any living being in the slightest. The other way is if you encounter the Gnani Purush, then you should remain in the Gnani’s satsang. In doing so, all your work will be accomplished. All the 'puzzles' will be solved.
