“What is scripture? It is in the form of words. As the meanings of those words become clear (are clarified), they become shabdaarth (literal meaning of a word). Then the meaning of the word progress further. As the meaning is clarified further, it reaches parmartha (ultimate meaning). The vision reaches to that level. However, the scriptures cannot change the vision. A ‘Gnani Purush’ [the enlightened one] is needed to change the vision. It is ‘this’ very vision (unchanged vision) that has created the worldly life. The Gnani [the enlightened one] does ‘drashti-bhed’ [gives the vision of what is real and what is relative].”

“People are trying to make still, that which by nature has always been unstill/restless. If the vision falls on the Seer (drashta) who indeed is forever still, then everything becomes still. Our gnan [knowledge] keeps roaming in the gneyo – those things that reflect in the Soul (like mirror). If this same gnan [knowledge]falls on the Gnata – the Knower, then our work will be done.”

“Most folks got Id and Ego living on different floors in their head’s house, in different rooms, and they’ve locked all the doors between them, and nailed sheets of plywood over that, because they think they’re, like, sworn enemies that can’t hang together. Ro thought the whole subconscious/conscious issue had something to do with why I am the way I am. She said I have the neurological condition synesthesia out the ass, with all kinds of cross regions of my brain talking to each other. Old witch was always psychoanalyzing me (as in she was the psycho and I was being analyzed). She said my Id and Ego are best buds, they don’t just live on the same floor, they share a bed. I’m cool with that. Frees up space for other stuff. I take off, tune out, and do what I do best. Kill.”

“To follow one’s own viewpoint, to insist that one’s viewpoint is only correct is called ekantik (one sided view point). The religion of the Vitraags (the enlightened ones) is called ‘anekant’ (all inclusive viewpoints). Religion that embraces all the view-points within itself is called Vitraag religion (religion of the enlightened ones).”
