Criticism tika and competitiveness spardha are some of the menifestaion of ego. Everyone is undergoing the effects of own karma, how can anyone be criticized? To criticize means to ruin one's own self.
The one with skills and knowledge of what to do, will get exhausted in this worldly race. Instead, one can sit aside ,enjoy and take it easy by saying, 'I have no skills'. Gnani Purush says clearly that, “I don't even know how to shave, even at this age!'
The one with the ego of being skillful doesn't know that his mistakes are buried under the nature's 'the factor of safety and he believes that, I am so skillful.'
People will keep on doing work as long as there is the ego of being skillful. What is to be done by those without skills? The knowledge of skill has continued on the basis of ego. How can the skill continue where there is no ego or where the ego has ended?
Gnani Purush repeatedly hammers that He has no skills but people don't believe it. People say Dada knows everything. Then, He says, 'I know about the Self. I know that the 'Soul' is the knower-seer. Whatever the 'Soul' can see', 'I can 'see'. I do not know anything else.'
When the other person insists khencha, Gnani lets go slowly and leaves and goes ahead. If someone insists, and you insist in return, it will hinder progress. The other person insists according to what he can sees', therefore, where is his fault?
To the one who wants to go to attain final liberation, will be called by the world as crazy, it will beat him up, will throw him out. Yet, he should accept this defeat and sit down. The way of Gnanis is to win the world by making others win! Therefore, in this world, it is worth learning how to be defeated. Only then, one can be free from this world. Otherwise, he who is trying to win is considered as defeated. This research of Gnanis is worth adopting.
Gnani Purush Himself has become abuddha without any use of intellect, where as the world is trying to become intelligent or making attempts to be called intelligent!
