Infinite Attributes of the Gnani Purush (Gujarati)
Liberation (moksha) is extremely easy however, it is extremely rare and thus difficult to meet a Gnani Purush who has the spiritual energy to liberate another human being. Even more difficult, a hundred times over, is one’s ability to recognize a Gnani. One can recognize the Gnani from His vitarag absolutely unattached, speech. There is no other mode or measure in this kaal—current era of the time cycle characterized by lack of unity in thoughts, speech and acts, for liberation and therefore the Gnani Purush has to be recognized through His attributes. But how can an ordinary person identify such a Gnani who is the abode of infinite attributes? The Gnani has the dazzling majesty of the Sun God, the coolness of the Moon, the depth and serenity of the ocean, and stillness and steadfastness of the mountain of Meru. The Gnani has infinite compassion; He is the abode of compassion. The Gnani is above all duality. In the Gnani’s eyes flows an endless stream of the elixir of the eternal. There is a childlike innocence and guilelessness in the Gnani. Gnani’s straightforwardness is the highest in the world. He resides in the total egoless state. He is completely free from insistence. He remains constantly in the state of the Self (swaparinati) that is why He would have mukta haasya (the laughter of the liberated state). The Gnani Purush does not have any ‘I-ness’ (potapanu), He is beyond respect-insult, and is without ‘my-ness’ (mamata). He has no ownership of mind-speech-action. He is straightforward, fearless, nirgranth free from tubers which generate passions of pride, anger, deceit and greed. The Gnani Purush is beyond renunciation or acquisition.
