The Flawless Vision
Questioner: What do you mean by impure vision Dada?
Dadashri: When something deviates from its own properties and its own nature, becomes impure. Stay within your real nature. This is possible only after The Gnani Purush shows you your Real Self.

The Enlightened Ones Spoke To Liberate
You become confused because of your own misunderstanding. Come to me if you are confused about anything. And ask from me the solution. That is why we keep these satsangs.
With one less karma, your confusion will gradually decrease. If in a single day you manage to decrease one karma, the following day you will manage to decrease two. But people on the other hand continue to increase their confusion and mistakes everyday. They wear an expression of being constipated on their faces as if they just took a dose of castor oil. Do you think they go out and buy bottles of castor oil? How can they all afford to buy it in the first place? The expression on their faces turns sour the moment their inner state changes. The fault is theirs but they blame others for it and that is why their inner state changes. 'Look for your own faults', the Vitaraags have said. 'Look for your own faults and be free. This is the only thing that will liberate you. This is the only thing the Lord has said for you to do.
Pure Knowledge and Understanding Are Needed
Once a senior monk asked the Lord when he would achieve liberation and the Lord told him that his liberation would come when his Knowledge and his understanding became flawless. Your mistakes have become the obstacle to your liberation. When your knowledge and your understanding become free of mistakes then you will achieve liberation. Now what is wrong in that?

Questioner: That is true.
Dadashri: People ask whether religious austerities, like penance or fasting are necessary. There is no need for such austerities, but should you have an upset stomach on any particular day, it is good to fast. Penance or anything else however is not necessary. Make your understanding and your knowledge pure, by any way you can. Is there anything wrong with what the Lord says?
There are so many mistakes. You claim that you are Chandulal, and that you are this woman's husband and this boy's father. So many mistakes...! There is no end to the mistakes. The root of this is the blunder (of I am Chandulal). At its core there are two things: one is permanent and the other is temporary. When people try to identify the eternal with the transient, they lose sight of the eternal. The solution never comes.
Has the Lord told you to do penance or starve yourself or renounce anything? Has he said any such thing? The day you make your Knowledge and your understanding free of mistakes is the day you become liberated. You will be liberated while living in this body.
Questioner: Can you please explain again what you mean by understanding without a mistake?
Dadashri: Yes. When your understanding becomes free from mistakes, you will be liberated. And when your understanding becomes faultless as a result of constantly being in my company, your work will be done. But as long as there are mistakes, how will you make any progress?
The Lord also tells you that you are yourself the embodiment of liberation; you are the Absolute Divine Soul. All that you need
