Kariyani-7: Vairāgya Due to Obsession; Ultimate Liberation
Summary
- How should a householder behave in order to fix his vrutti constantly on God?
- Thoughts of sānkhya: Just has one does not bear love for relatives of one’s past lives, one should forsake love for relatives of the current life.
- Maintaining affection only toward God.
- Keeping the company of a sadhu.
- If one cannot abide by the above three resolutions [1a-1c], then they should:
- Abide by the dharma of Satsang.
- Rely on the strength of God and the Sant.
- Hearing the words of the scriptures and the satpurush, one develops an obsession for vairāgya that does not diminish.
- If that obsession subsides, then he falls from both paths [i.e. path of renunciation and path of a householder].
- If that obsession does not diminish, he attains the highest state of enlightenment.
- One who possesses the following understanding in the manifest form of God, then that itself is ultimate liberation:
- After the final dissolution [ātyantik-pralay], God forever remains in this Akshardhām unaffected.
- God is divine, forever possesses a form, and is free from all vices.
- When He assumes a human form on the earth, He is still divine and gunātit [devoid of the māyik gunas].
- One who has attained God-realisation through such a conviction experiences the following: Wherever he casts his eyes he sees the form of God as if it is before his eyes.
- The understanding of an ignorant fool: When God assumes a human form, He possesses māyik gunas.
