[4] How Amazing is the Awareness of the Gnani Purush!

(mokshamarg). And then some people may complain about,
how come there is no ritualistic activity in the path of Akram
Liberation. Our path is not of rituals, we do not have a business.
And if they lie, or speak negatively, then do not see it as their
fault. They speak because of their karma coming into effect.
And you, too, speak on the basis of the unfolding karma effect.
However, You are to remain the Knower of the fact that it is a
lie, and that is being the Self (the purusharth).
There is the Purush (Self) and the prakruti (non-Self).
You (the Self) should have the awareness of what the prakruti
(the non-Self) is doing. The day the prakruti ceases to do
anything will be the day you will have attained the 360° of Keval
Gnan. Thereafter, there will be no conduct of violence (himsak
vartan), no hurtful speech (himsak vani) and no hurtful thoughts
(himsak manan).
Alochana-pratikraman-pratyakhyan verily is the path
to moksha. This is what I have done for countless lives. For so
many lives I have done alochana, pratikraman and
pratyakhyan and these efforts have brought me thus far.
That is why the Tirthankar Lord has said that after infinite
lives have gone, even after attaining transient and changing right
belief about the Self (vyavahar samkit, upsham samkit),
thereafter comes a period of time wherein there is ardhapudgal
paravartan (when the soul is left with 50% of its transmigration
cycle). So tell me, how many lifetimes have been reduced? Even
coming into the state of ardhapudgal one has shed so many
lives.
Questioner: One comes within the limit.
Dadashri: Yes, he comes into the limit and from there he
will grow. The Lord had twenty-seven lives after he attained
right belief (samkit). But everything has come into a limit. That
is what the Lord said.
