________________ The entire management is of mistakes only. This is the reason why the realm and domain of the Self is veiled. 'We' have given you the Self, but its realm, power and energy satta is completely veiled. This is why the energy of speech vachanbud and the energy of the mind manobud do not blossom. Otherwise, how well the energy of the speech will blossom! Even now one is partial to sexuality vishaya , one is partial to deceit kapat, and one is partial to ego ahamkar. Therefore maintain upayog jagruti the applied awareness as the Self and keep the force of attendance in satsang. Then the mistakes in worldly interaction vyavahar will be evident and the light of the Self will travel far and wide. What happens if one does not go to satsang? The upayog application of awareness will be halted. Why? Because of the partiality towards the relative self pakshapaat! And one will not even know that this has happened. Awareness jagruti is not Gnan. Awareness is simply awareness. Gnan is a different thing. Awareness means to awaken from sleep (to be awakened from the ignorance of who am I? to the knowledge of the Self). Now You are awake. Gnan is a very great thing. Everywhere else in the Kramik path) Gnan manifests when all other smoldering oopsham fires kashayas have been put out. Kshayopsham - the state of partial purity - means that the ego is still there, but it is not visible at the moment. There is fire but it is covered. Therefore, you cannot see it from the surface. You think they are only the ashes but you will realize it when it ignites with the slightest of air. That is when awareness leads to the experience as Gnan It will be beneficial if You keep increasing awareness jagruti. When Your awareness increases, then you will not bind karma. There is no karma bondage with awareness jagruti and so everything will become clear from within. In the meantime that ego continues to melt away. There is no deceit kapat in pride maan; if there was deceit kapat in pride maan, then awareness jagruti will not arise. Kapat is the curtain, a veil. A veil obscures whatever it coveres; it renders one blind. Questioner: What is deceit kapat?
