    To constantly remain in the intent [by conviction] of the 'real viewpoint' and the 'relative viewpoint' is absolute Knowledge (keval Gnan). The moment that intent completes [in experience], absolute Knowledge manifests completely.

    The Soul is indeed such that the mahavrats (five great vows of truth, non-possessiveness, non-violence, non-stealing, and celibacy as expounded by Lord Mahavir) prevail, but these mahavrats should prevail in conduct externally, only then the Soul is considered as complete. It is known as a mahavrat when not a single worldly intent arises at all. It is a very elevated state!

    All this is just an intent based imagination (kalpana). So then in imagination, there is no such thing as 'This is right' and 'This is wrong'.

    If you become angry with someone today, it is a discharge kashaya (karma effect of anger-pride-deceit-greed). But in that [discharge karma] your intent is for it, which “charges” a [new] karmic seed.

    If the outside [our outside circumstances] has become spoilt so be it, don’t let the inside [our inner intent] spoil. If you don’t have the money to pay off your debt, keep the intent pure within that you want to pay it off. Because you did not let the inner intent spoil, the time to pay off the debt will come.
