(Jnana sahit Vijnana)
When man regards the world as his and for him, then he feels that "Para" i.e. self) and the world (Apara) have independent existence. The result is that man (the self) becomes dependent on the world and suffers by following the circle of birth and death. In order to be free from this dependence, an aspirant should follow the following three important points :
1. Nothing is mine
2. I need nothing
3. I have to do nothing for me.
1. The self is merely an existence. The self has nothing with itself. Neither a thing nor an action of the world has an access to the self. It means that we (the self) have nothing with us besides the self. The gross-subtle-causal body which we call as "I" is also not with us (self) nor we are with it. Had the body remained with us (the self) how would we have taken numerous births? How would we (the self) have assumed numerous bodies? If we had accompanied the body, we would have never attained salvation. Space, time, things, persons, actions, circumstance, states etc - all are kaleidoscopic (constantly changing), they are born and destroyed but the self never undergoes any change in the least and it is neither born nor is destroyed. We realize the appearance and disappearance of space and time etc., but never realize the disappearance (non-existence) of the self. How can the kaleidoscopic and perishable body-world stay with the unchanging and imperishable reality and be of any use to the self? How can the dark night of Amaavasyaa (the last day of the dark half of a month) come in contact with the Sun and be of any utility to the Sun? The worldly body, power, intellect, knowledge, ability and beauty etc., are useful for the world, they are of no use in the least to us (self). It means that by the Apara Prakriti (lower Nature) and its evolute, the body and the world, we (self) don't gain anything, we are not invigorated in the least; they are neither of any good to us, nor can be of any good to us (the self). Even the infinite universes cannot satisfy and fulfill us. Therefore in the infinite universes, there is not even a single thing which is ours and which is for us.
The soul and the Supreme Soul (God) - both are destitute. The man (self) is destitute because in the universe there is nothing that is his i.e. he has no relationship with anyone or anything else besides God; and God is destitute because there is nothing else besides Him - "mattah parataram naayatkincchidasti" (Gita 7/7), "saddasacchaaham" (Gita 9/19) (I am real and also unreal). So long as a man (self) holds that the world exists, he has nothing as his in the world; but when the world loses its independent existence, then nothing remains besides God – "Vasudevah Sarvam". He becomes one with God (aatmiyata) - "Jnaani tvaatmaiva me matam" (Gita 7/18); "Mayi te teshu chaapyaham" (Gita 9/29) i.e. "They are in Me and I am in them." Therefore Lord Krishna said to Rukminiji, "We have ever been destitute and we love destitute devotees only and they love us."
