When does the complete jagruti (awareness) occur? When the ego dissolves.

The worldly life is created through wrong understanding and is dissolved through understanding. The Gnani Purush (Enlightened One) gives all types of perceptions so that there is no need to read scriptures.

Complete understanding’ is considered ‘Absolute Vision’ (keval darshan) and when it manifests in one’s conduct, it is considered ‘Absolute Knowledge' (keval gnan). ‘Absolute Vision’ is the beginning and ‘Absolute Knowledge’ is the end. ‘Understanding’ is the ‘beginning’ of ‘Absolute Vision’.

All attributes of the prakrut (relative self) in the world have arisen due to wrong understanding. All this has arisen due to not understanding the truth. One has been wandering around for countless lives and still one considers oneself to be so great!

Acceptance of ignorance (of true Self) is the real path of Gnan (knowledge).

There is no realization of ‘who am I?’ ‘One’ is trying to remain hidden from his ‘own Self’. He knows all that is of the non-Self. It is a wonder that one remains hidden from his own Self!

Freedom from the spectacles of illusion (wrong belief) and freedom from the realization of ‘I am the doer’; that is called the Pure Soul.

Whatever one’s belief arises, he will find tools corresponding to his beliefs. With the belief of the ‘Self’, there is only one ‘tool’ to acquire the Knowledge of the Self, that tool is the ‘Gnani Purush’ (the enlightened one). Contemplation of the Gnani Purush (the enlightened one) is the very tool with which the Soul will continue to manifest.

When can one say that he has attained the Soul? It is when worries does not occur to him. Even amidst mental, physical and externally induced suffering one experiences blessed state of the Self (Samadhi); that is the sign of the Self Realization (Atma gnan). Without this state, all talks one does are like castles in the air.
