Quote
Except for pure Soul (Shuddhatma), the mind, speech, body, intellect is all subject to vyavasthit (energy that runs the world). It is all scientific circumstantial evidences. With 'This is mine' and 'I am (this)', divisions occurred, and that is why all these difficulties exist, intents of false attribution (aropit bhaav) arose. That is why one missed out on one's own form as the Self (swaroop)!

Quote
By the relative viewpoint (vyavahar), the relative self (atma) is the doer, by the real viewpoint (Nischay) it is the non-doer! Therefore, the pudgal is a non-doer by the relative viewpoint and a doer by the real viewpoint!!

The Self (Atma) has infinite energy, similarly the energy of the non-Self complex (pudgal) is also infinite. It is through the energy of the pudgal that this world is visible. In fact, it is all this pudgal that is visible. The Self cannot be seen anywhere.

Quote
Scriptural knowledge is achetan (inanimate; lifeless), nevertheless it still it takes one towards chetan (animate, the eternal pure Soul). And Gnani’s [the enlightened one’s] Knowledge is Chetan [animate]. When one attains the Gnani’s [the enlightened one’s] Knowledge, that Knowledge itself will continue to do all the work.

The Soul (our true Self) has to be experienced, the Soul known through scriptures will not do. Work will not be completed through scriptural knowledge, work will be completed through experiential knowledge.
