Ätmasiddhi Let our highly devoted obeisance be to the enlightened entities, who instructed us to abide at ease within our true Self, that can end the affliction of birth, old age, and death forever. The true nature of the soul can be manifested by continuous daily adoration of their innate compassion. The lotus feet of all such entities may always be in our hearts.
It is not possible to define the attributes of the enlightened persons. Adoption of their instructions leads to manifestation of the true Self as evidenced by these six Fundamentals. By manifestation of true Self the soul attains everlasting bliss and becomes fearless. The enlightened entities have conferred unrewardable supreme disposition without desiring anything whatsoever by virtue of their innate compassion. Yet they have never even imagined that some one is my pupil or he is mine because he is my devotee. Repeated obeisance with intense devotion be to such enlightened entities.
Such entities have laid down devotion for true Guru solely for benefit of the pupil. They have laid down devotion so the tendency of the pupil would stay towards the state of Guru's soul. Self-indulgence would end by witnessing the Guru's unprecedented attributes and self-realization would follow effortlessly. The repeated and all time obeisance be to that devotion and to those enlightened entities.
Omniscience has not been presently manifested. However, it has been clearly known as a potentiality by virtue of the words of the enlightened entities. Omniscience exists as, a matter of faith, a state to be contemplated, and a state to be aspired. From the absolute point of view it has been existing. The repeated obeisance with supreme devotion be to the benevolence of the enlightened entity by whose grace this soul easily became worthy of attaining omniscience, the manifestor of unobstructed bliss.
