Kashi remained to suffer the pain of the scars left behind from the beating.
I am the 'exorcist' of the ghosts of the mind, body and speech that have possessed you. I free you from their possession and oppression. You will however continue to experience their effects as long as the 'scars' remain but you will be permanently free from them.
If you simply understand that the mind, body and speech are like the ghosts that take possession over you, you will have learnt twenty-five of the forty-five Holy Scriptures.
There is no need for you to renounce your wife, children and clothes. All you have to do is free yourself from the possession by these three.
The Gnani Understands Scriptures
Scriptures cannot be read without the guidance of a Gnani Purush. Only the Gnani can truly understand the scriptures. I have the understanding of the scriptures. How is one that has no understanding, understand the scriptures?
Intake And Output
You have to discover your real 'T'. What do you refer to every time you say 'I'? Is it the body? Your body is just a complex of intake (puran) and output (galan). The worldly life goes up and down, up and down, that is its nature. People think of accumulating wealth but that is nothing but intake and output. Are there not two parts to a bank account : credit and debit? Why don't you just keep the part of credit on your account? You cannot. It is a law that for every input, there is an output. Eating is input and excretion is output. Drinking is input and urination is output. Even the coming and going of thoughts is intake and output.
Aptavani-1
The Gnani does not look at anything except the Pure Soul, enjoyment of fruits of past karma and dissipation of past karmas having enjoyed its fruits. Input and output and the Pure Soul - these encompass everything.

Some people eat all the time and then have diarrhea. What would happen if their intake were not allowed to be excreted? They would become restless from distended bellies. People are not aware that the same (principle) applies to wealth. Show me one person who has not undergone output. The rivers too have streams that flow into them and away. I have asked many doctors why nails grow. They gave me all kinds of explanations such as too much calcium etc. That is not so. It is actually output of body's waste. Food that is used by the body for building bones is intake and output is taking place through the growth of nails. As a rule what ever is of no use, is discarded. Similarly there is a continuous inflow-outflow or chargingdischarging of atoms that takes place in this body. The atoms that were present in the body at age five would no longer be there at age twenty-five. There is a constant inflow of new atoms and outflow of the old ones.
People charge demerit (paap) karmas, but when those karmas come forth to give effect, they will be very sorry; they will feel like they are on fire. And when they charge merit karmas (punya), they will realize how sweet the rewards are when those karmas give their effect. So think very hard and be judicious before creating any kind of karma and beware of the kind of effects your actions will render. Be very careful when you are charging demerit karma, such as when you try to increase your wealth by cheating others. Bear in mind that the consequences of your actions are inevitable. Even if you put your money in the bank, that money too will eventually go. Whatever demerit karmas you create while trying to be rich, the adverse negative meditation (raudra dhyan) that occurs in the
