Enlightenment was simultaneous with the witnessing of his last mistake. This is a natural scientific principle. Awareness must remain all the time. How can we allow Soul to be tied up in a bag even during the daytime? You can only progress if you keep a vigil on your mistakes and also by abiding the Five Agnas. For awareness you will need satsang and Purushaarth. In order to remain within satsang, you must first remain within the Agnas.
speech. These subtle mistakes are because of lack of awareness and you are not able to see them. It is only when the Gnani sheds light on them, that they become apparent. The obvious mistakes are like electricity. They sting you and you become aware. They are much better and easier to see and clear compared with these subtle ones, which do not sting you easily.
Questioner: What kind of mistakes are these that have electricity?
Dadashri: These faults are straightforward and uncomplicated. They result in irritation but then, dissipate. These mistakes are better because they keep one in a state of awareness, whereas no one can see these other mistakes of the darkness, which are very subtle. These mistakes are such that the person himself cannot see them; he is engulfed in spiritual laziness. He is the guilty one himself and yet there is no one around to show him his mistakes. Mistakes of the light can be distinguished as others easily point them out. Mistakes that harass and gnaw at you, I call them your electrical mistakesmistakes that are visible. Those that do not bother you, I call your mistakes of darkness. The mistakes that bother you will quickly become apparent but those that do not, slip away unnoticed and remain hidden. It does not matter how difficult or awkward a person is. It matters whether the mistakes are of the light or darkness. The mistakes of the light will leave easily. The mistakes of darkness are very difficult to be rid of.

You may think to yourself that no one will find out but this world is not irresolute. It is exact. There are indeed grave consequences for such mistakes. It is because of these mistakes that people suffer today.
"I know something is a very grave mistake of darkness. Also your belief, there is nothing wrong with what I am doing will kill you. Only the Gnani can say that he has no mistakes. Each and every mistake will have to be acknowledged and will have to leave. You have to be aware of two things: one that you are Pure Soul and the other is that as far as the outside world is concerned, 'I do not know anything. If you keep this awareness, you will not have any problems. Do not let the disease of 'I know' take root within you. You are the Pure Soul and the Pure Soul has no faults, but whatever faults you see in 'Chandulal', must be dealt with, with equanimity. Mistakes made in darkness and mistakes buried in darkness are not easy to see. As your awareness increases, you will begin to see increasing number of your mistakes. Even by merely seeing your overt and obvious mistakes, your awareness will increase. As your mistakes decrease, your speech will improve and people will want to listen to you.
No one should ever claim that they have no faults. It is only at the stage of Absolute Enlightenment that there are no mistakes left. Even Lord Mahavir could see his own mistakes up to the point of attaining full Enlightenment. For Lord Mahavir, Absolute
