In whatever work that you do in this world, the work has no value. You will be ‘binding responsibility’ for next life only if there is attachment and abhorrence involved in it. There is no responsibility if the attachment and abhorrence do not occur.

In unfavorable circumstances, kashays (anger-pride-deceit-greed) occur, and in favorable circumstances, more kashays occur. However, the kashays of favorable circumstances are cold. Those are raag kashays (attachment kashays) and they include greed and deceit. Whereas, in unfavorable circumstances, there are dwesh kashays (abhorrence kashays) such as anger and pride.

If you want liberation [moksha], you will have to be rid of the duality of ‘right-and-wrong’. If you want to attain an auspicious (good) state, then have abhorrence for the ‘wrong’, and attachment for the ‘right’. There is no attachment or abhorrence in the pure state [shuddha].

The whole world is indeed trapped by misery. What is the misery about? Due to ignorance of one’s own Real Self (agnanta). Due to ignorance of one’s own Real Self (agnanta), attachment-abhorrence (raag-dwesh) keeps on occuring, which leads to this misery. Only through Gnan [Knowledge of the Real Self] can one prevail in a misery-free state. There is no other solution at all.

Despite knowing and seeing through the senses, if one remains free from attachment-abhorrence, it is called knowledge beyond the senses (atindriya-gnan). But if one has attachment-abhorrence, then one is seeing and knowing through the knowledge of the senses (indriya-gnan).

Physical pleasures are not associated with attachment-abhorrence; the belief in an opinion itself is attachment-abhorrence.

Abhorrence is the cause for conflicts. God has said, “Do not have abhorrence. If you don’t like it, ignore it.

Causes for attachment are formed at the same time that abhorrence is occurring. Acquaintance up to a certain point will result in attachment and if it reaches ‘ridge point’ and goes past further; it will result in abhorrence.

The foundation of sansar (worldly life) is made up of attachment and abhorrence, and the foundation of Gnan (knowledge of the Self) is made up of Vitaraagata (total absence of attachment and abhorrence)!
