As 'Discharge', Others as Faultless
It is a different matter to look at everything from the outside but when You continue to 'see' within, You will be in the realm of kevalgnan. But that would be a fraction of kevalgnan, not the absolute kevalgnan. If you have bad thoughts, you should just 'see' them and if you have good ones, you should just 'see' them as well. Have no attachment (raag) towards the good and no abhorrence (dwesh) towards the bad. You do not need to look at what is good and what is bad, because you have no control over it. So what do Gnanis look at? They see the whole world as faultless (nirdosh). They see that all this is nothing but 'discharge', so how can all the poor things be blamed? It is a 'discharge' when someone insults or curses you, and it is a discharge when the boss confuses you. The boss is an instrumental (nimit). No one is at fault in this world. The fault you see in others is your own fault (effect of the cause in the past life), and that is the very 'blunder' which gives rise to the worldly life. Enmity is created through seeing faults or negativity in others.
In the 'Dramatic' There Is No Doership!
If you do not have the 'real' vision (vision as the Self), you will see everything the way people of the world see it with their worldly vision of, "This is my brother-in-law, this is my uncle...". By saying "my," attachment (raag) arises. However, after you attain the knowledge of the Self, when You say "my", it now becomes 'dramatic'. The 'my' carries a 'dramatic' intent (bhaav). 'Dramatic' (characteristic of drama; fictitious, acting: There is a clear separation in the vision of the Self and the nonSelf). It is a short and simple thing. You only have to understand
it.
The mind, speech and conduct are continually discharging, and now all You have to do is keep 'seeing' them. The 'discharge' is not in your hands. It is no use trying to meddle in
