________________ pure but what about this body that does negative things?' The Lord still says, “Those deeds are not Yours. You are pure shuddha but if you believe those deeds to be yours, then you are bound by them.' That is why the word Shuddhatma is written as an association sangnya. And why do 'we' call it the pure Soul Shuddhatma? Because, despite going through the entire worldly life it is not affected by any impurity ashuddhata. But the belief , 'I am Shuddhatma - I am a pure Soul' does not become established, does it? 'How can I be pure? I do so many bad deeds, I do this and I do that, etc.' So the belief 'I am pure' does not become established, and the suspicion, 'How can you say 'I am a pure Soul'? continues. After attaining this Gnan, You have an established awareness laksha of 'I am pure Soul'. Therefore, regardless of whether you do good deeds or bad deeds, You are not the owner of those good or bad deeds. You are pure. You will not become tainted by the good deeds or the bad deeds and therefore you are verily pure shuddha. 'We' tell You that nothing is going to touch You, when 'we give you Gnan. Once you become suspicionfree nishank about this, You will progress. If you become suspicious, then you will be bound by it but if you do not become suspicious , then You are free. It will not affect You if you remain in Dada's Agnas. The main fact is that it is not worth having any suspicion. Really, You are not doing anything. You are not doing any such actions. It is merely a delusion; it is a twisted perception. Therefore, the word 'Shuddhatma' is the sangyna to understand that the Soul is pure, has been pure, and always will be pure. So it becomes unshakeably established if You remain in that understanding. After that the Self attains the Absolute state, full enlightenment as the Self, called keval gnan.. The original Self is absolute Self keval gnan swaroop. So then, what is the difference between You and 'us'? 'We' remain as 'keval gnan swaroop' - absolute Self and You, the mahatmas remain as Shuddhatma - the pure Self. The suspicions You have about the original Self are gone, so all other suspicions have gone away. Still some who by their old ways and nature are prone to use excessive intellect will continue to have suspicions about this. Where is the basis for suspicion?
