Vachanamrut Essence
Kāriyāni-1
- When the conviction of God develops in the buddhi, one should realise conviction has developed in the jiva also.
- The powers of the jiva: it is extremely subtle, yet it illuminates the body, indriyas, and the antahkaran at once.
- Three types of conviction:
- Conviction in the indriyas: No doubts arise when God engages in appropriate or inappropriate actions.
- Conviction in the antahkaran: No doubts arise when God exhibits laziness, sleepiness (tamogun); lust, anger, etc. (rajogun); tranquillity, self-restraint, etc. (sattvagun).
- Conviction in the jiva: No doubts arise when God behaves eccentrically and shows His gunātit state.
- How can the māyik indriyas and antahkaran perceive God who is beyond the mind and speech?
- Just as a bee captures a worm, stings it and then buzzes over it, and as a result, that worm is transformed into a bee; similarly, a jiva’s indriyas and antahkaran become divine by the profound association of the Sant, and the jiva is able to perceive the manifest form of God.
