What is the Soul? What is it like? That kind of suspicion is most difficult to get rid of without the help of a Gnani Purush. Who is the owner of anger, pride , deceit, and greed? How is one to understand this? Only the Gnani can make one understand and be rid of them.
"What is Soul?' How is It? The life is to be spent in the thinking of this, not in the bedroom or cinema or hotels!!
When does all different types of suspicions go away? They go away, when one becomes free of attachments -vitarag and free of fears.
Who has suspicion about about the Soul? The Self does not have suspicions at all. Actually, the 'relative self' suspects the existence of the Self.
He who becomes free from suspicion about the Soul is in a state of permanent liberation!
Starting from the time when there is the suspicion that, the knowledge with which one moved around and the methods with which one got the knowledge up to the time of achieving a state of complete suspicionlessness about the Soul; this period, in spirituality is known as suspicion. Once that suspicionlessness- nishankata occurs one becomes free of fears nirbhayata ! And where there is fearlessness there is unattached state in the presence of all the attachments nisangata!
Akram Vignan is to be applauded in wonder that within one hour of this miraculous experiment of Knowledge- Gnan Vidhi, one is permanently without a suspicion about the Soul.
The suspicion about Soul can't go away by reading a book. There, is required the manifest Gnani. As one knows more and more information from the scriptures, the suspicion is more and more. Once there is; 'I don't know anything one is ready for real knowledge. The knowledge that gets rid of kashayas anger, greed, pride, deceit, is the real knowledge-Gnan. Where there is suspicion, there is agony. The sign of knowing Soul is a state of permanent suspicion free state.
To have suspicion is a type of awareness.“ Did I do this or did someone else do this?" To have such a suspicion is called higher awareness.
