| CONCLUSION - THE FULFILLMENT OF FRUIT - THE GRACE OF THE LORD |
| First
let us feel - "I am nothing; I am a toy in his hands, a puppet
that He sets dancing." Then let us try to feel that whatever
gets done is born of the body. I have no contact with it. All these
activities belong to corpse. But I am not corpse. "I am not a shava
but Shiva, not a corpse, but the Lord." Let us not get caught
up in the body's meshes.
When we have done this, we shall attain the state of the jnani and feel that we have not connection at all with the body. Now we shall experience the three states of the final stage, as described above. First, its state of activity, in which pure and perfect action takes place through the jnani. Secondly, the state of being in which, although he feels that he does all the sins and all the virtuous actions in the three worlds, none of them ever touches him. And thirdly, the state of awareness in which he does not allow the slightest action to approach him. He burns all action to ashes. We can describe the jnani, the seer, through each of these three states.
