right belief gradually and naturally cuts itself (wrong belief part) off and this occurs even in this very age of the current time cycle (Kaliyug) through the present Akram Vignan due to the phenomenal exploration to impart liberation by the Gnani Purush of our times!
If one prevails in the right belief, one is within the domain of the Self and if one prevails in the wrong belief, one is within the domain of the non-Self. Illusory vision (mithya drashti) shows everything the wrong way. When you meet the Gnani Purush, and you come to hear his satsang (spiritual talks); from that moment on, your vision will begin to rectify. Or you can change your vision by praying to the Gnani Purush. Once your vision changes, you continue on to become Bhagwan (God).
In the shubha-ashubha (auspicious-inauspicious) religions, both truth and untruth have a place. Their way to attainment, is attachment to truth and contempt for untruth. There is no place for that in the pure religion, in the religion of the Self (Atma dharma). The religion of the Self is about being beyond attachmentabhorrence (raag-dwesh); it is about absolute absence of attachment and abhorrence (vitaragata). It is the poisoned vision that causes attachment and abhorrence. The Gnani Purush turns the vision that was directed towards temporary things; towards the permanent. He changes the direction of the vision. Then the vision of, “I am in all that lives” (Atmavat sarva bhuteshu) arises.
There is a big difference between the experience of the Atma (Atma anubhav) and Self-realization (Atma sakshatkar). Experience is the final stage, and it is permanent; whereas with Self-realization, only the conviction (pratiti) has set in. After the experience of the Atma, one enters the conduct (charitra) stage, which is considered prevailing as the Self.
The Atma is invisible (aroopi) and even the one that realizes it, is invisible, so that both natures blend, and the vrutti (tendencies towards the worldly life) return home to the Self.
