The devoted pursuit of the three gems brings forth the inseparability of quality and the qualified – guna and guni. Ordinarily, one in whom there is guna is called a guni. When we put it this way, it differentiates guna from guni. But in reality, the two are inseparable. That is why in the earlier gatha Srimadji has said that you are the moksa. You also are the anantajnana, anantadarshana and the avyabadha svarup. There is nothing apart from you.

Such infinite is its glory. Such a glorious infinite original form is being described by Sri Guru to the best of his ability - for, he has partially experienced it. Further, he has the benefit of the disciple in his mind. With the intention of getting the disciple to recognise the greatness of the own soul, to get him to perform the tremendous effort and to attain self-realisation, the Gurudev says -
