knowledge of the Self, nothing more remains to be known, but how can one know that?
Suspicionfree in regards to the Soul
The Lord has said that one cannot become suspicion free regarding the Self. This had indeed happened for Lord Krishna. Otherwise, suspicion over what the Soul must be like will always remain: 'Is the Soul like this? What must the Soul be like? Surely there must be some doership in the Soul?' Uncertainties such as these are bound to remain. Otherwise people will claim, 'How can everything function without doership?' Alas only the Gnani Purush can know how everything works. The Gnani has come to know the Soul-the Self. The Gnani knows and experiences the Self and it is not the kind that is described in the scriptures. Nothing related to the Self is to be found in books.
No one has become suspicion free in matters of the Self. People claim, "At least this much bhaavna - intent must belong to the Soul Now what those people refer to as the Soul is what I call 'lifeless life' or 'charged' consciousness nischetanchetan. So how can anyone attain the Soul based on these beliefs? There suspicion is inevitable.
The whole world has suspicion in matters of the Soul. People tell me, 'the soul, is doing anger-pride-attachment-greed'? I respond 'So then the matter is over! They go on to justify, because matter the inanimate jada can never do anything.' I tell them, "Yes, the inanimate cannot do anything but, how can the Soul? When the energy to 'do' is not an inherent property of an entity, how can that entity do anything?' In fact, they do not have knowledge of the vyatirek- tiertiary property, that arises when jada - matter or inanimate and chetan Soul the animate, come in close proximity with each other. They do not know that when the two elements come together, a third property arises spontaneously. Neither the Soul nor the matter loses its intrinsic anvaya property but a new, a third property vyatirek arises. However, only the Gnani can make one understand this.
One cannot waste this precious human life this way
When a person starts thinking, 'I wonder what the Soul is like? Is it like this or like that?' the Lord called this samyaktva mohaniya. People have not even come close to such inquiry. This question has not even arisen.
