Without vairagya, one cannot identify the true nature of objects. Huh? If there is no vairagya, one cannot identify the true nature of objects. It is not like that. That if there is no vairagya, one cannot identify objects. Someone comes and says, "Jay Swaminarayan," and shakes hands. Shakes hands and smiles, and then hits you twice from behind. Then? Then what would you think of him? You shake hands and walk away, and he hits you twice from behind, then? One would consider him an enemy. So, it is not like vairagya comes first and then identification. First comes identification. And then there is a sequence.

Tap to open in glossary → And when vivek vivek Wisdom. Discretion. Carefulness. Good judgment. Tap to open in glossary → That is vairagya. Often it appears that one's elements are identified. Or if the nature of the antahkaran is identified, then instead of vairagya, an inferiority complex or one falls into an inferiority complex. That can also happen, so why did he not develop vairagya? Falling into an inferiority complex means, who falls into an inferiority complex? Where does the inferiority complex reside? In body-consciousness. Huh? In body-consciousness. So, it resides in the intellect, meaning he did not identify his intellect. Whether my intellect is explaining the truth or falsehood to me, all these are mixed in it, right? So, we have identification, but it is just a brief flash. There is no real identification in it. From above, it appeared to us that this is wrong, this is right, and this is wrong, or this is good, and this is bad; only that much is visible. When there is a true identification down to the bottom, then it is called identification, right? Identification down to the bottom. In reality, what is called identification in the scriptures? "Vidvan vipashchit doshagnah." So, what does that mean? Vidvan means wise, knowledgeable. Vipashchit means wise, sensible. And then? Doshagnah. That is written in a very systematic order.

When he sees flaws, then he is called wise. Why was it not said, "Vidvan vipashchit gunagnah"? Why was it not said like that? If flaws are seen, then virtues are seen on their own. It is true that a person's virtues and flaws are seen, but when there is proper knowledge of flaws, then it is called identification. So, when he gains knowledge of the flaws of the senses, then it is said that he has attained realization. Kapil Bhagwan was a realizer of elements, so what does that mean? Realizer of flaws. He knew their flaws as they are. Maharaj said that the wise one is called jitendriya (one who has conquered his senses). And the wise one also knows the five sensory objects and worldly things through these senses and antahkaran. And other ignorant souls also know through them. So, what is the difference between a wise one and an ignorant soul? The wise one knows his flaws. His flaws are deep He knows his flaws as they are. So, he strives to stay away from them, which is why he is called wise. And the ignorant soul jumps headfirst into them, which is why he is ignorant. He also enjoys sensory objects through the senses, and the other also enjoys sensory objects through the senses, but he knows their flaws as they are, which is why he is wise. He knows their virtues, which is why the other is ignorant. He knows the virtues of the world, which is why he is ignorant. And he knows the flaws of the world, which is why this one is wise. And that is why he is called jitendriya because of that. Just knowing this information does not make one wise. Google knows that, so Google should have great vairagya. So, it does not happen because of that. Intellect knows everything through intellect. Intellect is the platform for knowing. Huh? The soul knows everything through the medium of intellect. To know the intellect, the soul. The instrument is the soul. The soul has no other instrument. "To know the knowing of the intellect by the knowing of the soul," Maharaj has written this in the fourth Vachanamrut of Kariyani. So, the knowing that is in the intellect is the knowing in the soul. And the wrong work that the intellect does is done by the soul itself. If one believes so, then the kusang kusang The association of an evil person.

One person is excluded from it, who is excluded? The presenter himself is excluded, "I am a clean sheet in this." My role in this is nothing. In failure, my role is nothing. It is not there.
