““To say, "I did it" is in the form of an 'evidentiary doer' (nimit), it is (to be understood) 'as an evidentiary doer' (nimitbhaav) and it is the unfolding karma (udaykarma) that is making him 'do'. If one lives his entire life by maintaining awareness over just these two statements of 'mine' (Dada), then he has come closer to liberation! He maintains just this much awareness, he leaves these statements 'as they are' and becomes completely alert, then He will indeed become the Self! This is the only real instrument to become a pure Soul (Shuddhatma)!””
