'I-ness' is decreased in proportion to the level of awareness. What kind of awareness is required to get rid of 'Iness'? The awareness of, "This is T' (the real Self) and this is not I', a constant awareness of the Self, following the Agnas of the Gnani Purush and seeing others as faultless and as nondoers, all these are required.
No matter what the result is, saying 'I am not this' makes one free.
Where 'I-ness' is gone; there is no ego of doer-ship, and no wallowing in worldly pleasures (garavata).
To favor the side of the ego, to favor the side of ignorance, to step away from the Self; is called 'I-ness' (potapanu).
Not to become absorbed (tanmayakar) in the scientific circumstantial evidence is purusharth (Self oriented effort). Pragnya, which is the force of the Soul, prevents this absorption process in the unfolding scientific circumstantial evidence of the non-self, whereas agnya i.e. the intellect will make one get absorbed in the unfolding scientific circumstantial evidence.
Everyone has 'I-ness' in the unfolding karma. After attaining Gnan, as one employs purusharth in the unfolding karma, the 'I-ness' decreases and gradually vanishes.
The one who can recognize and see the departure of '1ness' in the Gnani Purush, is eternally blessed and graced.
With the departure of 'I-ness' (aapopu), one becomes the supreme Self (parmatma). Thereafter, scientific circumstantial evidence will take care of Him.

Obstinacy is the only obstacle Nature of obstinacy Becoming straight through understanding Necessities for progress along the path of moksha Obstinacy during the early years of Ambalal Patel.... The ego is the basis Never say, 'I cannot do it' The knowledge guides one's conduct Everyone's obstinacy is different Those obstinacies will end Straight and yet there were subtle obstinacies In those situations you should be alert Only a Gnani can straighten him out The Gnani is pleased with the one who becomes sarad A Dramatic ego! Obstinacy leaves by 'knowing that it has occurred It should not be so 'You' are not the obstinate 'one' This Akram Vignan is like that If you become upset and noncompliant, you will miss.....
