person with shuddha upayog sees only the pure. He will disregard the packing (the body) and sees only the contents (the pure Soul within). To see with elemental vision (tattva drashti, to see the Self as one of the six eternal elements) is shuddha upayog. Shuddha upayog only begins after Self-realization. When this awareness is absolute and continuous, it is called Keval Gnan (the Absolute and Perfect State of Knowledge). The result of shuddha upayog is liberation. I am in constant shuddha upayog.
One priest asked me, "You travel by car and so many insects get crushed under your car, are you not responsible for that sin?" I asked him "Dear Priest! What does your scriptures
Such is my state. I am the Lord of this Universe and yet I have no ownership of any 'plot' anywhere. I (the Pure Soul) possess enough power to make this universe tremble, but Ambalal Muljibhai (the physical body) does not have the strength to break even a pappadum (lentil wafer)!

Spiritual development of every human being is at a different level. This results in different standards and for each standard there is a God and its relevant scriptures. These standards are of worldly relative religions.
Illusion And Liberation 'Illusion (maaya) has long horns and reach, They strike you from the front and kick you from behind'.

Anger, Pride, Illusion, Greed, Attachment and Abhorrence are my six sons' and I make up a family of seven, which will remain evergreen.
This Maaya and her six sons' have created discord in the world, so if anything needs to be destroyed, it is these seven. (Translator's comments : Maaya is the root cause of the ignorance of the Self. From this stems two divisions, attachment and abhorrence (raag and dwesh). Attachment has two components : deceit and greed. Abhorrence also,
For example, say you sold a piece of land a week ago to Mr. Lallubhai and you transfer the documents of ownership to him. One day the police come to arrest you because they found smuggled gold buried on that land. The police tell you that you are responsible because the gold was found on your land. You immediately breathe a sigh of relief and show them
