    To cause terrible harm to one’s own Self is known as ignorance of the Self (agnan). Knowledge of the Self (Gnan) is that which removes all that is detrimental to the Self thus making it completely beneficial to one’s own Self, after which One can indeed attain final liberation.

    When the Self (vastu) fails to remain in its inherent nature as the Self, it is considered as pramatt bhaav (being in a state of anger-pride-deceit-greed). When the Self remains in its original intrinsic functional properties, it is apramatt bhaav.

    Our opinion is, 'Nobody is at fault.' If someone appears to be at fault, then that is our weakness. The fact that you see somebody at fault is indeed your state as the prakruti (with the belief that, 'I am the non-Self complex'). By remaining in the inherent state as the Self (apramatt bhaav) the world will be Seen as flawless and You will experience the kind of bliss that existed during the reign of Lord Rama! One has to come into One's inherent state as the Self (apramatt) permanently!

    What is to be renounced? The adverse internal state of being that results in hurting oneself (artadhyan) and the adverse internal state of being that hurts oneself and others (raudradhyan). If these two have not been renounced, then nothing at all has been renounced.

    Real Purusharth (spiritual effort to progress as the Self) is shukladhyan (the internal state that renders the constant awareness of ‘I am pure Soul’). While relative purusharth (effort) is dharmadhyan (the virtuous internal state of being that prevents one from hurting oneself or others).
