Complete shuddha upayog (pure applied awareness as the Self) is keval gnan (absolute Knowledge)

I am Chandubhai’ (name used by Dadashri to refer to the relative self) is good or bad upayog (applied awareness). ‘I am Pure Soul’ is shuddha upayog (pure applied awareness as the Self). Instillation of life in the world occurs with good or bad upayog.

If a person wants to walk on the path of the Vitrag (Enlightened Ones), he should turn the upayog (applied awareness) from bad to good. And if the person wants to attain moksha (ultimate liberation), he should keep shudha upayog (pure applied awareness as the Self). The person who wants to attain moksha should not get into the intricacy of good or bad, and should keep them both as things to be ‘discharged’.

Shuddha Upayog (pure applied awareness as the Self) is the same as Parmatma Swaroop (embodiment of the absolute Self).

Upayog (applied awareness) is considered as Jagruti (awakened awareness).

As much upayog (applied awareness) as one can keep, that much authority has been created. If one can keep upayog for five hours, then the authority for five hours has been created. If complete swa-satta (authority of the Self) occurs, then he has become God.

Without Gnan (Knowledge of the Self), desires will not leave.

Where there is no attachment for the good and abhorrence for the bad is called the state of equanimity. The one without duality is equanimity. In worldly interactions, people identify tolerance as equanimity!

Equanimity is when abhorrence does not arise during the circumstances of abhorrence and attachment does arise during the circumstances of attachment.
