Everything in life is mandatory farajiyat) till the end. The entire worldly life is mandatory; it is an effect and nothing else. But people believe everything runs at their own volition and will (marajiyat). On one side is adwaita and on the other side is dwaita, and this world is something completely different and peculiar (trutium, third factor, effect). When one is in dwaita, he remains reasonable. The Self is the state of dwaitadwaita and all else is trutium; all else is nothing but sansar; sheer worldly life. The relationship of gneya-gnata (the known and the knower) is dwaita and one is adwaita as the Self. Therefore, the Self is dwaitadwaita and everything else is trutium (the third factor). Marajiyat, that which is of one's own independent free will (purusharth) is not considered trutium. That which is mandatory (farajiyat) is trutium.

Our path (Akram Vignan) is not that of the Jain, Vaishnav or Swaminarayan; it is the path of only the vitarags.
When your anger, pride, deceit and greed go away, be assured that you have acquired vitarag religion; this is the gauge of vitarag religion. A thermometer is a gauge to measure the body's temperature. If it reads 98°, then there is no fever. If it shows 97, then it is below normal fever and 99° is above normal fever. This is how one should check his kashays using a
thermometer. What do the vitarags say? If the thermometer shows the temperature of kashays, then nothing has been attained. How can one claim to have attained the vitarag religion when he has not lost even a grain worth of his kashays? They have been born in Jain religion in countless past lives, but they
