Those are all the wrong beliefs that the Gnani Purush will fracture (destroy), and he will install the right belief. You yourself will accept it, your mind-intellect-chit-ego and everything will accept it, so that you become free from doubt (nihshank) – that is when your work gets done.
You are filled with infinite lifetimes of doubt (sanshaya). And when the Gnani Purush fractures them all for you, you will become free from doubt (sanshaya), and then attain the Absolute Soul (Parmatma). And the belief and faith (shraddha) that arises, is the right belief. Every Soul Is a Separate Entity Even in
Siddha Kshetra
Questioner: Are all the souls different, or are they different forms of one Absolute Soul (Parmatma)?
Dadashri: With respect to worldly interaction (vyavahar), they are all different. When we look at them by name and physical form, through worldly interaction, they are all different, but really they are one. Relatively they are all different, but really they are the same! So what do you wish to know?
Questioner: This Brahma (the Self) that there is. Why did he have a desire to become infinitesimally divided, from being just one integral thing? Why did he have the desire, Ekoham Bahusyam (I am One, may I be many)?
Dadashri: What this is, is that he is just one. He has not become many; he is just one. But it is because of illusion (bhranti) that there appears to be many. This is all just one nature (swabhav). No matter how many ingots of gold you have, if you put them all together, would it not all be the same gold? But if brass gets mixed in with it, there is damage! They are all truly Bhagwan (God); their form (swaroop) is Bhagwan. But the reason as to why they all appear different is because of illusion (bhranti).
