The Absolute ‘I’ within you is God. Beyond this, there is no other God or a superior above you. There is no almighty power to rule over you. You are completely independent. There is no one that can hurt or hinder you. The only thing that can hurt or hinder you, are your own mistakes.

In the following two sentences, I guarantee a man his liberation. These are:

1. “You do not have any boss in this world. Your boss is your blunders and your mistakes. In the absence of these two, you are the Supreme Lord”

And…

2. “No one can ever interfere with you. This world is such that no one living being is in a position where it can ever interfere with another”.

These two sentences will resolve all your conflicts and bring peace and harmony to you.

What is this world all about? How did it come into existence? Who is the Creator? What is our role and relationship with everybody in this world? How should we deal with our relatives? How does business occur? Am I the ‘doer’ of anything or is there another ‘doer’? Is it not important to know all these answers?

Questioner: Yes.

Gnani: Let us talk about what needs to be known first. Who do you think created this world? Who do you think made such a complex, entangled world? What is your opinion?

Questioner: Only God must have made it.

Gnani: Then why is the entire world filled with worries? Everyone has worries. There is no being free from worries.

Questioner: That is because everyone worries.

Gnani: Yes, but if God made this world, then why did he make it full of worries? If he is guilty of creating such miseries then we should have him arrested. In reality, God is not guilty. The people of the world have made him the culprit by calling him the creator of this world.
