sense is it omnipresent? The Atma's light illuminates the entire universe, when it is free from the final veil. In such a state, why would it remain in the universe? It goes straight to the Siddhkshetra; location just above the crest of the universe where all liberated souls reside.
The energy, the Self that has the potential to illuminate the entire universe is called swa samvedan shakti. When it does illuminate the entire universe, it is called keval Gnan. The experience you feel during the night, after 'we' give you Gnan, is swa-samvedan shakti. We call it swasamvedan because of the presence of the body; otherwise there is no vedan (the experience)
'file shows up and will alert you, by reminding you of the Agnas of the Gnani Purush. It keeps you in Gnan, as the Self and it will increase your awareness and help you to settle your files with equanimity.
Pragnya is a part of the Soul (the Self), which makes a connection between the Soul and the external world i.e. between the Self and the non-self. The Shuddhatma is pure anyway, but what does pragnya do? It keeps you and the process of the worldly life separate. It keeps the real and the relative self separate. Pragnya constantly keeps the Self away from the worldly life and takes one towards moksha. There are infinite regions (pradesh) of the Soul, but all of them are covered with a veil of ignorance. Day by day these veils become destroyed with the Gnan that we have given you, and the light of the Self will increase and You will begin to see your own mistakes. These faults begin to leave as you see them. This formed complex (putadu; the physical body) is full of faults: You will attain moksha when these faults go away. After acquiring Gnan, Chandubhai and You become separate and then Chandubhai's faults become apparent with pragnya. Whatever faults You see' will be shed. In the absence of Gnan, vou have done nothing but accumulated faults even when you did not want to. Now after Gnan, the faults begin to leave and You begin to become vitarag as they leave. Ultimately You have to become parmatmaswarup (the supreme Self), but you cannot attain the real understanding until the Self is attained. The vitarag Lords had attained Self-realization, and through correct understanding they became free from faults and attained final liberation
A fraction of Kevalgnan (absolute enlightened state). is what we call pragnya. Each and every Atma has an ability to illuminate the entire universe. Meaning if the Soul leaves the body in a state free of any veil of ignorance over it, it has the ability to illuminate the whole universe. That is why followers of Vedantas call the Atma, omnipresent (sarvavyapi). But in what
Pragnya shakti (energy) is that which will never allow you to believe what is not your, as yours, and what is not yours will never be allowed to be yours. Pragnya shakti blossoms with satsang. When not even an iota of the non-self is accepted to be of the Self, such a state is that of the supreme Self (parmatma). When this differentiation between the non-self and the Self is established in faith and belief (shraddha) but has not come about in the conduct (atma charitra), then that is pragnya. The conviction of the separation is pragnya and such conduct, is the conduct of the Self (atma charitra). Conduct is that which does not allow the Self and the non-Self to become one.
How does bondage of karma occur? It occurs through ignorance of the Self. And how does moksha occur? It occurs through pragnya. Pragnya arises after you attain the Self and then it takes care of the relative as well as the real. What does agna say? It says, 'I did it I enjoyed it', whereas pragnya says, 'I am not the doer and the one swearing at me is also not the doer. Raag-dwesh is eradicated after pragnya arises; the Soul does not have to do anything. This word 'agna' has sprung from within. 'We have added a new one. 'We had to use the word 'agna' (pronounced ugna) to understand pragnya. Otherwise
