Even though one knows about the *Gadasti*, it doesn't make them become the universe. In this regard, it is worth contemplating again and again the profound and mysterious *Vachanamrut* of the supreme *Tattva-darshta*, Shrimad Rajchandraji.
The moon illuminates the earth, and due to the brilliance of its rays, the entire earth becomes illuminated, but the moon never becomes the earth. Similarly, this soul, which illuminates the entire universe, never becomes the universe, it always remains in its pure *chaitanya* form. Believing in the oneness of the soul in the universe is delusion.” – Shrimad Rajchandra. 760 (433),
“What is this new knowledge you have received, O Lal? Knowledge does not go away, it remains.
The known and the unknown, the knowable, O Lal, are known just as they are.” – Shri Devchandraji.
And thus, even though it is situated in its pure nature, the moon is covered by clouds, obscured, and its true form is not visible. Similarly, the soul, situated in its pure nature, is covered by *jnana-avaranas* and other karmic clouds, obscuring it, and its true form is not visible. However, no matter how dense the clouds are, just as the moon's shadow never disappears, and its light never fails to pierce through the clouds, “The moon does not hide, the clouds cast a shadow”; similarly, the soul-moon, which is pure *kevaljnana*, no matter how dense the karmic veil that covers it, its brilliance never diminishes, its *jnana-jyotsna* always peeks through, revealing its *chaitanya* form. That is why the scriptures say that a part of *kevaljnana*, as vast as an infinite number of *aksharas*, always remains revealed. Otherwise, the being who is bewildered would attain the state of being non-living. Therefore, even though *kevaljnana-avaranas* prevent *jnana* from attaining full illumination, a faint light, a partial illumination, always remains visible. And the cause of this faint light is also the present *kevaljnana-avaranas*. Thus, due to the same cause, *kevaljnana-avaranas*, full illumination in the form of *kevaljnana* does not arise, and a faint light, a partial illumination, arises. *Suvi mevamudra ti ma valan??* – Shri Nandi Sutra, 42
Even in this faint light, there is a sense of immediacy, a sense of abundance, a picture… “*Sabjivaanapi ya nan akkharass anantatamo bhago niccughhadiyo chitthai,*
*So vish karu varijna te vivo nivattala pavza* – Shri Nandi Sutra, 42 * “*Ayam cha svabhavah kevaljnanaavaranavritasya jivasya ghanapatalachchhannasya,*
*Vevi maya%ara rutuyuth tatra dettu varjnanaavaranameva*” – Shri Jnanabindu,
