““The Self is kalpswaroop (becomes what it contemplates). If kalpswaroop remains nirvikalp (free from I-ness and my-ness), then it is a parmatma, and if it remains as vikalp (I-ness), then it is sansari (worldly living being). To live as nirvikalp, it is difficult to attain that even in millions of lifetimes. Only when one meets a Gnani Purush (the enlightened one), such a state can be attained.””
