Autobiography Of Gnani Purush A.M.Patel Quotes

“The mind performs its function, the intellect performs its function, the ego performs its function; they are all intents of the non-Self, they are not intents of the Self (Atmabhaav). To See and Know the intents of the non-Self is in fact Atmabhaav (the sense as the Self). There are unlimited intents of the non-Self. The world is trapped in the intents of the non-Self indeed.”

“Purusharth (spiritual effort to progress as the Self) is such that it can only happen after attaining Purush (the Self). In fact, the prakruti (non-Self complex) is making you dance forcibly and on top of that you say, "I am doing this." That is known as bhranti no purusharth (illusory effort). That cannot be real spiritual effort to progress as the Self. It is only after the Self and the non-Self complex become separate that real spiritual effort to progress as the Self can happen.”

“Whatever one’s belief arises, he will find tools corresponding to his beliefs. With the belief of the ‘Self’, there is only one ‘tool’ to acquire the Knowledge of the Self, that tool is the ‘Gnani Purush’ (the enlightened one). Contemplation of the Gnani Purush (the enlightened one) is the very tool with which the Soul will continue to manifest.”

“You are not the 'doer' of this, there is a mistake in your belief. For the work that is not Yours, you claim, "I did it." Moreover, You are not even aware of what Your work is. Therefore, how much of Your work would be accomplished? No work has been accomplished. You had come without awakened awareness (jagruti); you were born in this world, and that too without awakened awareness, and you left without awakened awareness too. You ended up binding so much demerit karma without doing anything?”
