has blossomed, your pocket will be picked and you will blame the culprit. Through flawed vision (drashti dosh), one will see pudgal (the non-Self) as individual separate entities.
Questioner: Is this considered the fault of the physical eyes (charmachakshu)? If we are in ignorance (agnanta), how are we supposed to know that we are in ignorance (agnanta)?
Dadashri: You would not know that. Then whatever one's vision (drashti), that is how he becomes. This vision (drashti) of the physical eyes; is not a vision (drashti).

And for the pure (shuddha); you do not need to have attachment (raag) or abhorrence (dwesh) for things that are good or bad. That is because there is no such thing as good and bad; it is just impurity of vision. This looks good and this looks bad, that in itself is the impurity of the vision, and that itself is a wrong vision (mithyatva).
Therefore the poisoned vision must cease. That poisoned vision is what 'we' remove for you. Once that poisoned vision is gone, you will have the awareness of the Atma. Otherwise, it is not just any old thing, to be able to attain the awareness of
