Aptavani-1 liberation but because they lack understanding, they do everything wrong. This era of the current time cycle is extremely strange and everyone is caught up in its storm.
I have infinite compassion. In my eyes, everyone is innocent because I do not see any faults in anyone. I have made my vision flawless and see the entire world as being flawless.
Flawless Vision
want liberation you will have to embrace the real religion. In real religion you become free from the good and the bad the pleasant and the unpleasant, the right and the wrong. The religion of the Self is the only true religion. It is a non-worldly religion. All other religions that focus on the physical body and its actions are relative religions; they are the religions of the non-self, they are worldly religions. There are no boundaries or sects in real religion, no flags to fly, no conflicts of opinions, nothing to renounce or accumulate. In the real religion there is no partiality towards anything; liberation is never attainable through partiality.
People want liberation and yet they engage in conflicts and difference of opinions, and take sides. By claiming vou are right, you automatically say that the other person is wrong. You will never achieve liberation by saying anyone is wrong. You will only attain the abode of the supreme Self, which is void of any partiality, when you get rid of your differences of opinions, discord, and sectarianism and come to the center. By taking sides you strengthen the foundation of partiality and in doing so you bind yourself to infinite worldly lives. Look here! Do you want liberation or do you want to remain in sects? How many factions and warring camps have been created from just one religion? There is no liberation wherever there is any kashaya (anger, pride, attachment and greed), and there is no kashaya in religion. People resort to kashaya to strengthen their sects and have reduced religion to a racecourse. They compete for disciples. A man renounces his wife and children but takes on disciples in their place. Then he spends the entire day in discord and restlessness with his disciples. How can you call that a path to liberation?
A Vitarag would never speak the harsh words that I do but what can I do? In order to rid these people of their disease, the speech that flows through this medium is full of compassion and absolute detachment. People are not at fault; they too desire
A spiritual master was sitting in Lord Mahavir's assembly with other aspirants. He was overcome with a vain delusion that he had a great deal of knowledge. He then asked Lord Mahavir how much difference there was between the Lord and himself. He also asked the Lord how many more lives he had to go before liberation. He was under the impression that he would attain liberation within three births. The Lord who is absolutely detached understood the master's inner state. The Lord's reply was that his question was a good one but since five other beings' merit karma had also come into fruition, they too should be called forth. The Lord called for the mayor of the town, a chaste woman, a prostitute, a pickpocket and a donkey who happened to be standing close by. The Lord then went on to tell the master that there was no difference between him the Lord himself, the master, the mayor, the chaste woman, the prostitute, the pickpocket and the donkey. What are you saying Lord? Is there no difference between you and us? There is so much visible difference!' exclaimed the master. The Lord explained that the difference was in his perception. The Lord went on to say, "Three lifetimes ago, I met a Gnani who bestowed upon me a flawless vision, a vision that did not see faults in anyone. I used that very vision for the two subsequent lives and in this life I am flawless and have a complete flawless vision. Having acquired such a perfect vision, in this lifetime, I see everyone as completely flawless. With this vision, I am
