dehatma buddhi (I-am-the-body idea)lasts. After transcending dehatma buddhione becomes a jnani -----. So a jnani hasno karma. That is his experience. -----”The scriptures say that jnana is thefire which burns away all the karma(sarvakarmani). Sarva (all) is interpretedin two ways : (1) to include prarabdha and(2) to exclude it. In the first way; if a manwith three wives dies, it is asked “can twoof them be called widows and the third not?”All are widows. So it is with prarabdha,and again sanchita. When there is no karma,none of them can hold out any longer. -----.“From the jnani’s point of view thereis only the Self which manifests insuch variety. There is no body or karmaapart from the Self, so that the actions donot affect him.” (Talk No. 383)70<strong>Gita</strong> <strong>Sarah</strong>
