Guest guest Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Question: On one hand it is said that the Self is flawless and on the other hand it is said - " Mau sam kaun kutil khal kaami " - which of this is true ? Answer: Both are true; because the results of both are the same and that is - to be flawless. The first view is from the perspective of one with knowledge " Jnaani " and the second is from the perspective of devotion " bhakti " . Our true essense is " flawless. " But when a devotee puts forward his flaws in from of God, then it is with the aim of wiping out these flaws. Can ever any flaws remain in front of God ? By saying " Mau sam kaun kutil khal kaami " - it is not establishing flaws in us, rather it is placing them in front of God, like putting them in the fire and burning them into ashes (wiping them off " . One who is a spiritual aspirant, to him even the least bit of flaw appears to be very big. Just like if a tiny spark of a match stick touches the skin on our back, it is not that painful, however the same tiny spark if it goes into your eyes, then the pain is unbearable. Question: How is one to have a life that is completely and entirely flawless ? Answer: A life that is entirely flawless is when one is " Nirmama - Nirahankaar " " Free from attachment (a sense of mine) and free from Egoism " ! Because egoism and attachment are the store house of all flaws. Question: Those things that are belonging to a different group, in them how does one develop proprietary affection (mamta), desires (kaamna), and attachment (aasakti) ? Answer: It is on accepting the foreign " body " as our true Self, we gain affinity with it. Thereafter affection - a feeling of mine-ness, desires and attachment are born.
