I am the Soul Thus the Gurudev shows the way to the disciple who has the will to attain the joy of moksa. After doing all this it will never happen that you will remain without attaining moksa or that your Siddha state will not awaken. Therefore, the observance of this command has to be done with absolute dedication of all the yogas of tan-man-vachana (body-mind and speech).
The second instrument has been stated as the contemplation upon the state of Jina and the effort to attain it. How this state of Jina is has also been described in Sri Jnanarnava' -
अतुल सुख निधानं ज्ञान विज्ञान बीजम् । विलय गत कलंकं शान्त विश्व प्रचारम् ।। गलित सकल शंक विश्वरूपं विशालम् ।
भज विगत विकारं स्वात्मनात्मानमेव ।। Nija svarup (true form of the self) is the same as Jina svarup (true form of the Jina). Therefore, Gurudev addresses the atma and says, 'O Atman! You are the reservoir of infinite incomparable bliss. All the joys of the material world are worthless in comparison with your bliss. The joy of an Emperor in ruling over an empire of six continents is nowhere in comparison to a moment of the joy of atma. You are the reservoir of such unparalleled bliss.'
‘The seed of all knowledge and science is there within you. There is no need to borrow even the infinite-most part of a letter for the awakening of your infinite knowledge. You are in a position to attain your infinite knowledge from within your self.'
"Where there is the material world, there shall be blemishes - kalanka. Where there are desires, there shall be blemishes. You are neither the material world nor in the form of desire, therefore, you are blemish-less - nishkalanka.'
“The peace of your atma is spread over the entire universe. You will never get disturbed. You will not disturb anybody. You are endowed with such unlimited absolute peace.'
