The one, who dies without my-ness, attains liberation. The one with my-ness is not allowed entry in liberation.
To have the knowledge of 'my-ness is wrong.' is the highest earning in life.
Akram Vignan clarifies this all the way, that the one who has my-ness is not the Self.
'My-ness' (mamata) in the one who has attained Selfrealization is 'dramatic' my-ness. It is the same my-ness as that in a drama (the same my-ness an actor has playing his role; it is perfunctory).
The pleasure that is there when there is no my-ness is the pleasure of the free mind!
The person who has no intense insatiable greed (lalacha) in life will find God!
A person with only one type of greed is called greedy. There is a difference between a lalachu (an intensely greedy person) and a lobhi (greedy). The greedy has greed in one aspect only, whereas a lalachu person is greedy in all aspects. He has an intense insatiable greed to enjoy this way and that way.

A lalachu wants everything. In the same way as a disease attracts the remedy, all objects of intense insatiable greed are attracted to the intensely greedy one.
