Sage Dattatreya
The highest jnani makes no difference between samadhi and worldly transactions. He never finds anything apart from the Self and so there is no lapse for him. The middle order jnani is fond of samadhi and voluntarily abides in it. There is accordingly a lapse, however slight, when is engaged in worldly affairs, or even in the maintenance of his body. On the other hand, the jnani of the highest order involuntarily and naturally abides in samadhi, and any lapse is impossible for him under any circumstances. The jnani of the middle or of the highest order has no tinge of karma left in him, because he is in perfection and does not perceive anything apart from the Self.
How can there be anything of karma left when the wild fire of jnana is raging, consuming all in its way? Such karma is only a trick believed to be true by the onlooker. I shall explain this point further. The state of jnani is said to be identical with that of Siva. There is not the least difference between them. Therefore karma cannot besmear a jnani.
Vasuman had all his doubts cleared by this discourse of Hemangada. He had a clear understanding of true Realization. Vasuman and the prince saluted each other and returned to their respective places.
