Aptavani-9
It is applicable to a person who pushes away his attraction (moha) through his ego; we can call him nirmohi. This means that the ego itself is still present but he has reduced everything else. If someone insults him or swears at him, he will say, 'What is it to me?' But his ego still remains. His ego of being nirmaani or nirmohi remains. Will this ego not have to be removed in the end?
The Gnani can get rid of the ego of a maani. However, the ego of not being proud in a nirmaani is so subtle that even the Lord cannot remove it. If such an ego were to arise within you, it will destroy you. So ask someone before you do anything along these lines.
That is why Krupadudev has written, 'why does one not attain liberation?' Then He said it is not greed or any such problems but if maan were not there, one would attain liberation here and now!
This is written to give encouragement to people: a viewpoint is stated. It is correct. It is to show those who do not have Self-realization that everything else will be overlooked but one must not lose his focus of his maan. Maan (pride) is the cause of the worldly life.
Sat Purush is he who... Krupadudev has said that a Sat Purush is the one who has continuous focused awareness lupayog) of the Self. Therefore, the one, who never misses his upayog, not even for a second, is called Sat Purush. Then it is the one whose speech is not found in scriptures; it is a speech that has never been heard before and it is a speech that gives experience. His words can create new scriptures. A person can achieve liberation if he hears just one word of the one who has a constant awareness as the Self, day and night. Because His speech has vachanbud 1.e. it has energy and power in it. He does not have any inner desires whatsoever; such non-visible is His conduct. There are
infinite other such virtues besides these. That is where you can find a Sat Purush.
Krupadudev has gone as far as writing:
"Sansar kevad ashata mai che...ek ansha shata thi karine poorna kamta soodhi ni sarva samadhi tenu sat purush je kaaran che"
"The worldly life is filled with nothing but ashata - suffering... underlying the phenomena in which, from the point of a fraction of easiness (shata) to the entire expression of the state of eternal bliss, lies the exclusive cause (kaaran), and that cause is a Sat Purush. Despite having amazing prowess and capability, he has no spruha (acquisitiveness or inclination of anything), no relative sense of accomplishment (unmattata), no sense of 'Iness' (potapanu), no doer-ship (garva), no indulgence in worldly comforts (garavata); to such an awe inspiring Sat Purush, I reminisce over and over again and I bow. Nispruha: non-acquisitiveness; no inclination
Questioner: When Shrimad Rajchandra says that the Sat Purush has no spruha - in what regard?
Dadashri: Shrimad Rajchandra said there is no spruha (no inclination). Many people in India are nispruhi (nonacquisitive) so are these people acceptable? No these nispruhi people will not do. There are countless such people.
All hermits, ascetics etc., are nispruhis: complete nispruhi. They reject everything, they are non-acquisitive in worldly matters. Such ascetics claim in scornful tones, 'What do I care? I do not need anything.' People bring them milk thinking, 'Bapji (the ascetic) will be pleased and he will be helpful to me some day. Besides my son does not have any children. The ascetic on the other hand responds, 'I do not need anything. Go away from here, why did you come?' he also curses at them. But people are greedy and so the ascetic's work gets done. And
