This gives you the true, primary but basic, understanding of the spirituality from which one has to pave the entire path for moksha (final liberation). The slightest of misinterpretation, will change one's course, on the path that is parallel to the Gnani's. Such a diversion will change the destination, so that after having traveled on the path for so many millions of miles, instead of reaching the destination, one finds oneself in a forsaken place.
'I am a part of Parmatma (Absolute Soul)' – If such an illusory belief prevails, when will you understand that You, yourself are the Absolute Soul (Parmatma); you are independent; not a fraction, but the complete Self? And if it is not in your belief to begin with, then how can you attain such a state? There are so many of these illusory beliefs. They have come about as a result of secular and orthodox thought, which makes one's conduct move away from the real Vision.
The essence of all scriptures, spiritual discipline, and the practice of spirituality is one: to secure the awareness of one's own Atma (Self).
The real Atma truly is pure, but you hold a tuber of wrong belief, which only the living Gnani Purush can unravel. That which can never be attained even over millions of lifetimes, is finally made possible within an hour through the Gnani.
Millions of questions come from those who doubt, and from those who seek Self-realization. Nevertheless, the Gnani's answers are spot on; his core definitions provide for the exactness to open, which gives evidence of the Gnani's divine and perfectly clear Vision. To put it in his own words: “I answer by seeing through Absolute Knowledge (Keval Gnan)”. Moreover, he does not even have the inner intent (bhaav) of ownership, of his speech. The tape-record (tape player) is doing the talking. If the self were to speak, it would come out with many mistakes. But how can a tape-record make mistakes? 'He' himself is the Knower-Seer (Gnata-Drashta) of a tape-record.
