experiencing. Now the entire world is dependent on the intellect. That is because as long as there is 'l' (Hoo), as long as there is the ego (ahamkar), it is dependent on the intellect, and it sees through the intellect. Therefore, it is not possible to observe (nirikshan) something that is real (satya). Besides, the Gnanis of the world would not reveal the exact knowledge openly; however 'we' openly declare to this world, that if they want to understand this through the exact knowledge; then the Atma has never done any of these things. None of what you see has ever happened. It is just that the belief is wrong. If someone changes that wrong belief, then everything would be the way it was. No part of the Atma has ever been spoiled, nor has it ever encountered a problem. When the wrong belief that exists, is completely turned, then it would become the way it was; one enters one's own Self form (swaroop), and one's own energies (shakti) will thrive.
Just the belief has changed. The Atma would not ‘do' any of this. The Atma is just the Absolute Soul (Parmatma). If the Atma possessed any of the qualities (guna) 'to do' any of these things, it would never be freed from the worldly life (sansar). The Atma itself is untouchable (nirlep); it is detached (asang); but only if one can understand this. Otherwise, you will not understand what Bhagwan says. It is like, the listener uses his intellect excessively (buddhishadi), and the speaker is the knower (Gnani), so how can you reconcile the two? The listener is buddhishadi so he measures through his intellect. And the other employs knowledge as a measure, when he speaks. How does that one reach this one? So, each interprets in his own language.
It is just a wrong belief that has set in. When you figure this exactly, the Atma, all along in its state in the worldly life (sansar) has had a wrong belief and nothing else. When the wrong belief is removed, nothing else has happened. It is because of this wrong belief that the prakruti (non-Self complex) has arisen.
