mohaniya) unexciting, whereby they no longer fascinate you. As a result, no new 'taste or relish' arises and hence no new darshan moha will remain. Darshan mohaniya prevails because of the allure of the 'taste. Charging of new karma ceases when the effect of karma is rendered insipid and bland!
In the Kramic path there is just a trace of this conviction, which gradually becomes stronger. Then comes a stage where the conviction becomes firmly established and only when the conviction becomes complete, one is said to have attained the state of kshayak samkit (permanent attainment of 'I am the Soul"), whereas in this Akram path, the first thing one attains is the awareness (laksha) of the Soul, and this conviction (pratiti) will always remain. In this Akram path the awareness is established first. In the Kramic path even though one attains the conviction (pratiti) of the Self, he does not attain shukla dhyan, because in the current time cycle, no one can proceed past the seventh gunthanu; seventh spiritual stage.
In the Akram path, the Gnani Purush establishes a continuous link of the right belief (kshayak samkit), which is why the link of kashays (anger, pride, illusion and greed) cannot remain. There can only be presence of just one link, either the one that perpetuates kashays or the one that perpetuates the Self.
In the Kramic path, only when one attains gaaddha samkit i.e. shuddha samkit (absolute conviction that I am pure Soul), is there a separation between the two (real and relative). One's darshan mohaniya, the belief of 'I am Chandulal', stops and what remains is the effects of discharging karma (charitra mohaniya) i.e. the worldly life. Their efforts go towards are to completing their discharging karma.
Nowadays however, people try to get rid of their charitra mohaniya (effect; discharging karma) without destroying their darshan moha (cause; charging karma), how can that be possible?
Here in the Akram path, we deal all the discharging karmas with equanimity. When 'We give you Gnan, 'We' destroy your charge karma (darshan mohaniya karma; the belief of 'I am Chandulal) and render your discharge karmas (charitra
In the Kramic path, the seeker has to work to render effects of his discharge karma (charitra mohaniya) insipid and that is why he has to endure severe penance and renunciation This results in charitra mohaniya becoming bland. He has to do physical and visible penance like fasting, renunciation etc, whereas in the Akram path, our penance is internal (aantrik). In internal penance the inner 'heart' begins to heat up from 80 degrees, 85 degrees, 95 degrees and 'We' know that it is not going to go beyond 99 degrees, because it is not a hot coal that is going to catch the fire. This heat of the penance will gradually decrease. For 'us', 'We' become the knower of all the phases, from the beginning of the heat till it cools down. That is our inner penance. This is the 'nikal' of the discharge karma in the Akram
path
This path of Akram has enough authority to make one an ekavtari i.e. destined for only one more life before final liberation, so after this life, only one more life will remain. And the most one will have to undergo is fifteen more life-times, there will not be a sixteenth one for sure. And 'We' say, even if you have to take ten more lives, so what? Besides, the coming lives will be filled with all the luxuries and comforts: you will not have to face the tough life like this current one. When one comes to this satsang once and attains the grace of the Gnani Purush and gets the visa of moksha (Gnan Vidhi) then amazing future lives are at hand. This life too will become easy. Such is the path of Akram.
There are only two paths, a worldly path and a spiritual path. In the worldly path if you have medical questions you
