And the rajasic intellect cannot walk on the path of moksha. There, only the intellect given by the Satpurush reaches. Which intellect is that? To have faith in the words of the Satpurush, that indeed is the intellect of moksha. What should be the meaning of rajasic intellect? What kind of intellect is the mind becoming? Rajasic intellect means that. Prakrut intellect. Prakrut intellect. The intellect of this world. The calculation of this world, the rajasic intellect, is produced from rajas. And rajas is said to lead to the attainment of the middle realm. Attainment of the middle realm means that just because someone knows how to do the calculations of this world, it does not mean that the path of moksha will come into their hands. Maharaj says that many people may know the scriptures, may know worldly affairs, but that does not mean they will attain moksha and escape the cycle of birth and death. Therefore, the rajasic intellect cannot walk on the path of moksha. All the calculations of this world do not work on the path of moksha. In this world, if we do this, then that happens, and if we do that, then this happens; that does not work on the path of moksha. In that, if one has faith in the words of God, the scriptures, and the Satpurush, then the path of moksha comes into one's hands. Otherwise, if one just keeps arguing, then the path of moksha will not come into one's hands, even if one is intelligent. The intellect of an intelligent person may be very sharp, and if they keep arguing that if this happens, then that happens, and if that happens, then this happens, then the path of God will not come into their hands. And the remedy to avoid improper thoughts is said to be: repeatedly and deeply contemplate the mahima of Shreeji Maharaj, atmanishta, and vairagya, and instill their force within the heart. By these means, those improper thoughts are dispelled. There is improper abhinivesha. Thoughts arise based on abhinivesha. What is called abhinivesha? If there is excessive, extreme attachment, it is called abhinivesha. An extreme force is called abhinivesha. Force arises from attachment. Didn't those five come in the Yoga Sutras? There are five kleshas. Which ones? Avidya, asmita, asmita, raga, dvesha, and abhinivesha. What is avidya? Perverse intellect. The prefix 'a' is used there in the sense of opposition. Opposed to vidya. Opposed to vidya means, in the language of the scriptures, opposed to moksha. That is called avidya. A person may think, but instead, they go completely in the opposite direction. Vidya means knowledge. Vidya means knowledge, but of the path of God. Avidya does not mean the path of the world, but it takes opposition to the path of God, hence avidya. In purity, or rather in impurity, the intellect of purity. In the false, the intellect of the true. And in that which leads to the wrong path, the intellect of moksha. So that was called avidya. In the Yoga Sutras. And what is asmita? False ego. False possessiveness, attachment. Avidya itself comes under ego. And false attachment, like that. Attachment that causes our downfall. Not just attachment; asmita does not mean just attachment, but that which causes our downfall. Maharaj called attachment ultimate liberation, didn't He? What do we call ultimate liberation? Ultimate attachment. There should be ultimate attachment. Attachment to God, to God's abode, attachment to that. In this world, we are sitting with attachments bound. If we are moved from here to here, then? Like when corona happened, so much illness came. Moving from here, from one place to another. Why does such illness come? Because one has kept so much attachment, one has kept attachment, so they do not move. When I was in Rajkot earlier, we had our companions. Among them, when those companions separated, another companion got a fever for seven days. We are renouncers, mind you; a householder would not get it. We renouncers got a fever for seven days, and the temperature really went up. So that is called asmita, attachment. But if that attachment is bound to the wrong place, then it causes downfall. The attachment that causes downfall is called asmita here. Avidya, asmita, and raga. What is called raga? Attachment to such objects is raga. If one develops attachment to God, or devotion, which is a form of attachment. So if devotion happens, that attachment is not counted here. But raga means attachment to some object of this world. When does raga happen? Not just suitability, but the intellect of suitability. If there is a feeling of suitability, then raga happens. It is not that everyone develops raga just because there is suitability.
