Doubts of duality begins from the misconception of the material body which is accepted as self by less intelligent persons. The most foolish part of our ignorance is when we identify this material body as self and everything in relation with the body is ignorantly accepted as our own. These doubts of misconception as myself and mine, in other words my body, my relatives, my properity, my wife, my children, my wealth, my country, my community, and hundreds and thousands of such illusory contemplations, are different bewilderments for the conditioned soul. By assimilating the instructions of the Bhagwat Geeta one is sure to become released from such bewilderment because real knowledge is to know that the Supreme Personality of Godhead Vasudeva Lord Krishna is everything including myself. Everything is a manifestation of His potency as part and parcel and the potency and the potent being nondifferent the conception of duality is at once mitigated by attainment of perfect knowledge. As soon as Arjuna took himself to the instructions of the Bhagwat Geeta, expert as he was, he could at once eradicate the material conception of Lord Krishna his eternal friend. He could realise that the Lord was still present before him by His instruction, by His Form, by Pastimes, by His Qualities and everything in relation with Him. He could realise that Lord Krishna his friend was still present before him by His transcendental presence in different non-dual energies and there was no question of attainment of the association of the Lord by another change of body under the influence of time and space. By attainment of Absolute knowledge one can be in association of the Lord constantly even in the very present life simply by hearing, chanting, thinking and worshipping the Supreme Lord. One can see Him, one can feel His presence even in the present life simply by understanding "the adwaya jnan" Lord or the Absolute Lord through the processes of devotinal service which begins with hearing about Him. Lord Chaitanya says that simply by chanting the holy Name of the Lord one can at once wash off the dust on the mirror of pure consciousness and as soon as the dust is removed one is at once freed from all material conditions. To become free from material conditions means liberation of the soul. As soon as one is, therefore, situated in the Absolute knowledge his material conception of life becomes removed or becomes emerged out from such false conception of life and the function of the pure soul is revived in spiritual realisaion. This practical realisation of the living being is made possible on account of his becoming free from the reaction of the three modes of material qualities namely goodness, passion and ignorance. By the Grace of the Lord a pure devotee is at once raised to the plane of the Absolute and there is no more chance of the devotee to become materially entangled called by the name conditioned life. Nobody is able to feel the presence of the Lord at all circumstances until one is not endowed with the required transcendental vision made possible by devotional service prescribed in the revealed scriptures. Arjuna attained this stage long before in the battlefield of Kurukshetra and as he apparently felt the absence of the Lord he at once took shelter of the instructions of the Bhagwat Geeta and thus again he was placed in his original position. This is the position of Visoka or the stage of being freed from all berievement and anxieties.

The most foolish part of our ignorance is our identifying this material body with the self. Everything in relation with the body is ignorantly accepted as our own.

By assimilating the instructions of the #i#Bhagavad-gītā#/i#, one is sure to be released from such bewilderment because real knowledge is knowledge that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vāsudeva, Lord Kṛṣṇa, is everything, including one's self. Everything is a manifestation of His potency as part and parcel. The potency and the potent are nondifferent, so the conception of duality is at once mitigated by attainment of perfect knowledge.
