________________ darshan (vision) and intellect is gnan (knowledge), but they are viparit worldly gnan and darshan i.e. they are deluded knowledge and vision. Meaning it is worldly knowledge and vision; it is mithya - wrong knowledge and vision. Selflessness leads to full common sense Questioner: The one who has become an expert in worldly interaction, is the true expert, no? Dadashri: Yes, the world calls such a person an expert. But the one who has developed the common sense to its fullest is even higher than the expert in worldly interactions. In the expert the common sense is one sided whereas in the other individual (vyavaharikta), the common sense is from all perspectives and is fully developed. The expert becomes inadequate in other situations, beyond his expertise. Questioner: The expertise is limited in certain fields only? Dadashri: Yes, in other areas he becomes weak and inadequate. Questioner: When one sees the worldly interactions through the common sense, it is all a calculated (through the medium of the intellect) approach. And when one sees it through Gnan (enlightened world view), one never sees the other as the 'doer', sees all under the realm of vyavasthit- scientific circumstantial evidences. What is the difference between the two solutions that have been used in the worldly interactions? Dadashri: The solution of our Gnan is of a different order. Questioner: Of the two, which is superior? Dadashri: The solution of the common sense is superior. Gnan does not have this level and extent of specific solution. Questioner: When one gets the solution of Gnan, all inner burning and turmoil stops.
