The devoted pursuit of the three gems brings forth the inseparability of quality and the qualified – guna and guni. Ordinarily, one in whom there is guna is called a guni. When we put it this way, it differentiates guna from guni. But in reality, the two are inseparable. That is why in the earlier gatha Srimadji has said that you are the moksa. You also are the anantajnana, anantadarshana and the avyabadha svarup. There is nothing apart from you.

This form is so unique that it cannot be compared with any substance or special achievement of this world. Indeed, words are limited and the original form of the atma is unlimited, and hence it has been called indescribable. A poet has beautifully put it -

The Prabhu here is our own Atmaprabhu – the Self! Its original form cannot be described through words. Neither the colourful imagination, nor the waves of logic, nor any estimation would work here. Such infinite is its glory. Such a glorious infinite original form is being described by Sri Guru to the best of his ability - for, he has partially experienced it. Further, he has the benefit of the disciple in his mind. With the intention of getting the disciple to recognise the greatness of the own soul, to get him to perform the tremendous effort and to attain self-realisation, the Gurudev says -
