How Dominion Voting Systems Rigged 2020 US Elections

November 9, 2020

A so-called computer “glitch” in the voting machines flipping votes during the 2020 US Elections has caused a major controversy. The source and ownership of the voting machines used in the elections has become an urgent issue because of real fears that hackers, whether foreign or domestic, might tamper with the mechanics of the voting system. However, GreatGameIndia has found that the vendors and not hackers maybe behind the rigging. One of the vendors, a Denver-based Canadian Crown Agent company Dominion Voting Systems has a long history of allegation of election rigging and interference in elections of various nations, including census data theft in India and interference in US Elections of 2020.

INVESTIGATION: Did Crown Agent Dominion Voting Systems Rigged The US Elections 2020

The Glitch

Numerous allegations of a computer glitch switching votes has been raised in past few days. A so-called computer ‘glitch’ in one of Michigan’s counties has led to 6,000 votes switching from Joe Biden to President Trump. It was revealed in Georgia that the “glitch” was caused not by hackers but by the vendor itself uploading a piece of software at the last minute.

As reported by Politico:

A technology glitch that halted voting in two Georgia counties on Tuesday morning was caused by a vendor uploading an update to their election machines the night before, a county election supervisor said.

Voters were unable to cast machine ballots for a couple of hours in Morgan and Spalding counties after the electronic devices crashed, state officials said. In response to the delays, Superior Court Judge W. Fletcher Sams extended voting until 11 p.m.

The machines belonged to a company called Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion Software is used in 47 US states including all of the battleground states or swing states. This has forced the Head of the Republican Party demanding an additional 47 counties be recounted after the fix since these 47 counties also use the same Dominion software.

Dominion Voting Systems Under Scrutiny

Hidden Ownership

The Dominion Voting Systems, which has been used in multiple states where fraud has been alleged in the 2020 U.S. Election, was rejected three times by data communications experts from the Texas Secretary of State and Attorney General’s Office for failing to meet basic security standards.

In Dec 2019, Dominion Voting Systems came under scrutiny for its suspicious operations and hidden ownership.

The source of the nation’s voting machines has become an urgent issue because of real fears that hackers, whether foreign or domestic, might tamper with the mechanics of the voting system.

That has led to calls for ES&S and its competitors, Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems and Austin, Texas-based Hart Intercivic, to reveal details about their ownership and the origins of the parts, some of which come from China, that make up their machines.

Chinese parts in Dominion Voting Machines

In January, U.S. lawmakers expressed concern about foreign involvement through these companies’ creation and oversight of U.S. election equipment. Top executives from the three major companies were grilled by both Democratic and Republican members of the U.S. House Committee on House Administration about the integrity of their systems. CEO of Dominion Voting Systems revealed that they rely heavily on Chinese parts because there is no alternative.

Dominion Voting Systems CEO John Poulos and Hart InterCivic President Julie Mathis said their companies use Chinese-made LCD screen components, chip capacitors and resistors, arguing that in some cases there’s no option for manufacturing those parts in the United States.

“We would welcome guidelines and best practices from the committee and from the federal government,” Poulos said. “This is not a problem that’s unique to the election industry.”

Clinton Foundation’s DELIAN Project

The Dominion Voting Systems is tied to the Clinton Global Initiative through the DELIAN Project. According to the Clinton Foundation website:

In 2014, Dominion Voting committed to providing emerging and post-conflict democracies with access to voting technology through its philanthropic support to the DELIAN Project, as many emerging democracies suffer from post-electoral violence due to the delay in the publishing of election results. Over the next three years, Dominion Voting will support election technology pilots with donated Automated Voting Machines (AVM), providing an improved electoral process, and therefore safer elections.

Further, in 2015 Washington Post reported that Dominion Voting Systems donated between $25,001 and $50,000 to the Clinton Foundation.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

There are also allegations that Dominion Voting Systems was involved in some sort of voter fraud because they had worked with persons connected to high-ranking Democrats, such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

In the aftermath of the 2016 election, intensified scrutiny was focused on America’s voting systems in general and Dominion Voting Systems in particular. So, Dominion Voting Systems hired lobbyists to assist with the company’s interactions with the U.S. Congress. They hired Nadeam Elshami, Nancy Pelosi’s former chief of staff as one of these lobbyists, as reported by Bloomberg.

Dominion Voting Systems — which commands more than a third of the voting-machine market without having Washington lobbyists — has hired its first, a high-powered firm that includes a longtime aide to Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Cases of Election Fraud

Smartmatic

Dominion “got into trouble” with several subsidiaries it used over alleged cases of fraud. One subsidiary is Smartmatic, a company “that has played a significant role in the U.S. market over the last decade,” according to a report published by UK-based AccessWire.

Litigation over Smartmatic “glitches” alleges they impacted the 2010 and 2013 mid-term elections in the Philippines, raising questions of cheating and fraud. An independent review of the source codes used in the machines found multiple problems, which concluded, “The software inventory provided by Smartmatic is inadequate, … which brings into question the software credibility,” ABS-CBN reported.

Smartmatic’s chairman is a member of the British House of Lords, Mark Malloch Brown, a former vice-chairman of George Soros’ Investment Funds, former vice-president at the World Bank, lead international partner at Sawyer Miller, a political consulting firm, and former vice-chair of the World Economic Forum who “remains deeply involved in international affairs.” The company’s reported globalist ties have caused members of the media and government officials to raise questions about its involvement in the U.S. electoral process.

Crown Agent De La Rue

In June 2010, Dominion acquired Sequoia Voting Systems from Smartmatic after a major election fraud controversy in Venezuela. Following the 2004 Venezuelan recall election, Smartmatic acquired Sequoia Voting Systems, from the British company De La Rue in 2005. De la Rue was the official Crown Agent of the British Empire who still prints banknotes for the Bank of England. Crown Agents ran the day-today affairs of the Empire.

De La Rue is banned and blacklisted in India for supplying substandard paper for printing Indian currency notes and also for its involvement in the Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) with Pakistan, posing a threat to India. De La Rue’s role in printing Indian currency notes was exposed by GreatGameIndia in 2016 which became a major scandal in India.

Documents in possession of GreatGameIndia also revealed an insidious conspiracy by these companies to smuggle biometric and demographic data of Indians collected during a Pilot Project initiated under National Population Register to Taiwan. Such sensitive data in the wrong hands in a foreign country could not just result in identity theft but pose a threat to India’s National Security since the same companies are also manufacturers of election voting machines.
 
Sequoia Voting Systems

The acquisition by Smartmatic of Sequoia Voting Systems from De La Rue triggered a controversy in America for its “possible ties to the Venezuelan government”. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) of the U.S. Treasury Department, which had been investigating whether there were any ties between Sequoia, Smartmatic, and the government of Venezuela dropped the investigation when Smartmatic agreed to divest Sequoia, in a deal whereby all of Sequoia’s shares were sold off to SVS Holdings for an undisclosed price.

The Wall Street Journal wrote that “Smartmatic scrapped a simple corporate structure” of being based in Boca Raton “for a far more complex arrangement” of being located in multiple locations following the Sequoia incident. Both Smartmatic and Sequoia are mired with electoral related controversies in many countries.

What really happened in the 2020 US Election will only be revealed after a thorough investigation is launched into these companies and the so-called “glitches”.

Joe Biden Says Democrats Created ‘The Most Extensive And Inclusive Voter Fraud Organization’ In American History

24, 2020

Joe Biden bragged that Democrats have created the “most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”

“We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this. We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics,” he said.

What We Don't Elect Matters Most: Central Banking and the Permanent Government

November 04, 2020

If we avert our eyes from the electoral battle on the blood-soaked sand of the Coliseum and look behind the screen, we find the powers that matter are not elected: our owned by a few big banks Federal Reserve, run by a handful of technocrats, and the immense National Security State, a.k.a. the Permanent Government. These entities operate the Empire which hosts the electoral games for the entertainment and distraction of the public.

The governance machinery controlled by elected representatives is tightly constrained in what it can and cannot do. It can't do anything to stop the debasement of the nation's currency, which is totally controlled by the Politburo of the Fed, nor can it do much to limit the Imperial Project, other than feel-good PR bits here and there.

The president wields vast powers but even the president is powerless to stop the debasement of the nation's currency and the enrichment of bankers, financiers, corporations, etc., who fund the campaigns of the gladiators, oops I mean politicians.

If we set aside the term Deep State and simply call it the unelected machinery of governance (Permanent Government), we get a clear picture of its scope and power. Presidents, senators and representatives come and go, but the machinery of Empire grinds on, decade after decade.

A great many people and places in America don't matter to the Fed or the Permanent Government, and so they've been abandoned to their fates. The darlings of the Fed and Empire are clustered in Silicon Valley and other urban hubs where the technological and financial machinery of global hegemony are fabricated and maintained.

Those far from these centers of banking, finance and Big Tech have little to no stake as owners of meaningful capital. All they have to sell is their labor, and that's been losing purchasing power for decades as financialization and globalization have stripmined rural America and enriched the bankers, financiers and speculators who serve the Fed and unelected Permanent Government.

The Fed and the Permanent Government have been very, very good to the few at the expense of the many. Look at the chart below at America's complete dominance when measured by the soaring wealth of its top 1% power elite: We're Number One in wealth, income and power inequality, yea for the Fed and the Empire! And we don't have to elect them--they elect themselves.

Time magazine features The Great Reset slimeball edition for your edification



And a few words about Trump, who does not happen to be the messiah 
 
November 4, 2020

On the eve of the election, burning pots of snake powder and chanting spells, hoping for a Biden victory, Time magazine published a monster feature, called The Great Reset.

The fabrication features bloviations from “leading thinkers,” all pointing to the need for a complete revamping of our world, because…pandemic.

Well, actually, because: the economic devastation and consequent ruination of untold numbers of lives.

In other words, “We crashed the world economy and stilled the engine of the planet’s production, using the pretext of a fake pandemic; so now we must remake all economies and governments.”

That’s Time’s unspoken version of logic.

Their number-one go-to reset thinker is Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum. His chunk of hot air is titled, “A Better Economy Is Possible. But We Need to Reimagine Capitalism to Do It”:

Sustainable future; more inclusive corporate hiring practices; reduce greenhouse gases. It could have been written in 1999.

But that doesn’t matter. What matters is, the whole world must be changed. This is the mantra.

The world must be changed by Globalists.

My edition of The Great Reset takes a slightly different position:

Globalism must be changed by the world.

By separate nations, all of whom reject Globalism.

All of whom reject Medical Dictatorship.

All of whom rebuild individual freedom.

As opposed to free-everything for everybody.

As opposed to cosmic cheese glob collectivism, in which the independent thoughts and desires of the individual are measured against the ruling force of every other empty and dependent thought of every individual who has surrendered to the Glob.

The Time magazine version of reality is, we need a plan, we need a plan, we need a plan. This means organizing the planet down to the last dotted i and crossed t. It’s the wet dream of technocrats.

A defined slot for every person, a person for every defined slot.

Humanity as a machine.

So you get cosmic cheese glob plus machine. That’s the future we’re supposed to enlist in.

After months of research, consultations, and preliminary reports, I believe the appropriate, measured, and technical response is: SCREW YOU

This response can be printed in various fonts, in caps, italics, or bold. It can be voiced. It can be announced through a bullhorn. It can be printed on masks, shirts, shower curtains, bedsheets, blouses, dresses, windbreakers, trench coats. It can be stamped in day-glo on the backs of pet cats and dogs…

Persons in technical fields, who believe language more agile than instructions on building computer chips must be considered “a rant,” can have their tailor stitch the response in tiny letters just below their shirt pockets.

More ambitious folk could secure the use of an eighteen-wheeler. A poster would cover one side of the truck. Two lines of text: THE GREAT RESET, and below it, the response. SCREW YOU.

Each letter would be three feet high. Roman bold caps. Going along with the current trend, white letters against a black background. Or maybe just the traditional red, white, and blue.

I’ve watched, for 50 years, “dissent on the Left” undergo transformations, until it became “centrist Marxism.”

That dissent has been swallowed up and is now the unthinking status quo for millions of people, including politicians and the mainstream press. It’s an instrument of attack against all basic freedoms, one of which is the freedom to express dissent.

That’s the way tyranny always operates. A call for freedom turns into a call against freedom.

At first, 20 years ago, I tried to make excuses for these fascists. “They don’t know what they’re doing.” I tired of that approach. It doesn’t matter whether they know or don’t know. They’re doing it. They’re out to destroy what’s left of the country.

Unalienable rights mean nothing to them. There are no rights. They only want what they want, and most of time they don’t know what that is, beyond tearing down whatever lies in their path. They’re the foot soldiers of the Elite, who are the proponents of The Great Reset.

Marxism IS a dictatorship of the Elite, in case you haven’t noticed. It’s another name for a very old con.

On the other side of the coin, we have people who have drunk the Kool-Aid and are very sure Trump is the Second Coming of the Messiah.

I’ve excoriated him a number of times for surrendering the nation to the fabrications of the medical experts and supporting the unconstitutional lockdowns and the economic devastation.

His ardent supporters gloss all that over, as if the nation is now well on its way to recovery. No harm, no foul. If only wishing would make it so.

As I write this, the outcome of the election is uncertain. If Trump is re-elected, people must be relentless in insisting he back up his campaign rhetoric and make the open US economy a FACT, not merely a proposition calculated to win a second term.

His claim of having the military take charge of deploying the COVID vaccine remains very disturbing. To strangely assume this is part of his brilliant plan to guard our freedom to refuse the vaccine is based on zero evidence.

Add to that the secrecy surrounding the federal collaboration with the Pentagon to develop a COVID vaccine, and you have a prescription for a medical nightmare.

Trump has never spoken directly to the American people and admitted the extent of the economic destruction which has occurred since the fake pandemic was declared.

He has never taken any responsibility whatsoever for permitting this horror show and tragedy in the first place.

His supporters say, “Well, he couldn’t have gone up against the medical people and rejected the lockdowns…” The job of the leader involves doing exactly that when the heat is turned up to its highest pitch. He stands firm. He takes the blows. He strikes back. He shows exceptional courage.

The truth is, when Fauci came into the White House with the absurd and insane projections of Neil Ferguson, claiming two million people could die this past summer in the US, Trump folded up in ten minutes and never questioned the source or the numbers.

Ferguson, of the Imperial College in London, bankrolled by Bill Gates, was and is a failed computer modeler, with a track record of ridiculous predictions.

For example, in 2005, he stated that 200 million people, worldwide, could die from the bird flu. The final official figure was several hundred.

But Trump never made inquiries into Ferguson. He never stopped the Fauci train in its tracks then and there and exposed him as the predatory criminal he is.

Trump climbed on board the train and rode it.

NOW he says there is too much nonsense about COVID and we are coming out of the darkness. He says this is great and that is great and everything is great.

Sorry, pal, that’s not the true story. The forces of unalloyed evil are jacking up and rigging new case numbers to extreme heights. The plan is more lockdowns.

If Trump serves a new term as president, we must apply enormous pressure to make him support, and take WHATEVER ACTION is necessary, to ensure freedom survives and the economy is OPENED ALL THE WAY. PERMANENTLY.

Forget pipe dreams and fantasies about Trump. This war is far from over.

The US, along with many other countries, has been invaded. The enemy is within the gates. Moving like locusts through a field, they’ve destroyed millions of businesses and companies and people.

If this doesn’t call for swift and decisive and remorseless executive action, nothing does.

If Biden wins the presidency, then our pushback against his “national COVID plan” must be unrelenting. His controllers are hoping to override state governments and stamp a host of repressive measures on all our heads at once. As they “adhere to the advice of the medical experts.”

A Trickster Storm

 

Astrology Forecast November 1st – 8th, 2020

Yesterday’s October 31st Taurus Hallowe’en Full Moon conjunct unpredictable Uranus kicked open a door you’d never realised was there, delivering jolting shocks and surprises ahead of the Mercury Direct Storm on November 3rd.

The Messenger stations to turn forward on 25 Libra conjunct Haumea-harbinger of epochal events- opposite Disruptor Eris and squaring sober Saturn twice in 5 days. Already across Europe, a second round of lockdowns has been imposed against the background of a Fatwa against France and a seismic earthquake in Turkey and Greece.

Expect a charged week of Trickster chaos with US voting system glitches. Given Mars retrograde until November 14th and the 3rd Jupiter/Pluto Conjunction on November 12th, nothing is going to be cut and dried.

The rapidly approaching end of an entire epoch, a permanent shift in the Zeitgeist, plus the first US Pluto Return since the Founding Fathers, are putting current political dramas into their correct perspective i.e. little more than trying to frantically re-arrange the deckchairs on the Titanic. 

The key players will appear and disappear lit by the flickering light of publicity and social media but the coming social transformation between 2021-43 is going to be so much more powerful than any party or person.

Powerful Magnetics are Shaking, Recoding and Overwriting Old Realities.

Even in our 4D tribes, there are still so many making futile attempts to get back to how it used to be, so many stuck in outdated New Age practices naΓ―vely expecting that we can just wait for a silver bullet in the shape of a one-shot vaccine or a new leader and then go singing and dancing into a sparkling new Aquarian Age of love and light.

In your own life, drop any attachment and expectations around to the way things should be, or used to be, or could be and stay wide open to the mysteries of What Is…..

Transitioning to becoming a savvy influencer in the emerging Aquarian Paradigm means mastering your own narrative, internally and externally.

The Chandra Symbol for Mercury Direct 25 Libra:

 

In the midst of a forest, a great circular open area.

“In Celtic lands, steeped in a power beyond the world, there were openings always into other times and places, from within this time and place. Discovering once again these passages, and sending an expanded part of yourself to explore and inhabit all of the times and places officially denied. And being therefore given to a harkening to the unknown and to the sensibility of simultaneously feeling linked up with just about everybody everywhere in a mystical, magical realization that pulls you along and calls one to become free and true, you walk onward into the limitless ways as though you had never lost them and no time had elapsed between great inward breaths.” Inside Degrees Elias Lonsdale

The difference between initiation and awareness (prātibhā knowledge)

In this excerpt, Swami Lakshmanjoo explains the difference between initiation and automatic knowledge (breakless awareness - prātibhā knowledge).

"Gurvāyattā tu sā dīkṣā this [inferior] initiation is dependent to master. But if once you maintain that prātibhā knowledge (prātibha knowledge means if you have command on awareness, when you have full command on awareness, don’t let anything creep in), and that awareness will carry you to that greatest power of maintaining oneness with Lord Śiva, and without any other support." And further down he clarifies what awareness really is...

This is from Abhinavagupta's Tantrāloka, 13th āhnika (chapter) verse 167-172, which is part of the Grace and Spiritual Practice, a collection of Video and Audio recordings of the revelations on the subjects of Grace and Spiritual Practice by Swami Lakshmanjoo).

Download and listen to audio

nanu prāgdīkṣayā mokṣo-

‘dhunā tu prātibhātkatham // 167 //

Nanu (it is a question of PārvatΔ«), prāk dΔ«kαΉ£yā mokṣāαΈ₯, previously you have told that liberation comes forth by being initiated by a master, i.e. when you are initiated by a master you are liberated. Now you say by your own automatic knowledge [prātibha] you get liberation. What is the right thing then? I am confused!

iti devyā kṛite praśne

prāvartata vibhorvacaḥ / 168a

On this question of PārvatΔ« prāvartata vibhorvacaαΈ₯, Lord Śiva explains again.

dīkṣayā mucyate jantuḥ

prātibhena tathā priye // 168 //

Priye, O Dear, dikαΉ£aya mucyate jantuαΈ₯ by initiation also one gets liberated, [and] by pratibhā also one gets liberated. This is the main thing. By being initiated you get liberated, and with your own automatic knowledge, you get liberated.

Now there is a difference between automatic knowledge [prātibha] and initiation [dīkṣa].

gurvāyattā tu sā dikṣā

badhyabandhanamokṣaṇe /

prātibho’sya svabhāvastu

kevalībhāvasiddhidaḥ // 169 //

That initiation is depending on your master, i.e. initiation will be done by your master, initiation won’t happen automatically. When you are initiated by your master then you are initiated; you can’t initiate yourself by your own self. So it is dependent to master, i.e. this [inferior] initiation.

For what purpose he is being initiated?

Badhya bandhana mokαΉ£aαΉ‡e. Badhya is who is already entangled in ignorance, in the field of ignorance, in the world of ignorance. The person who is entangled in ignorance, he is badhya. And bandhana is this chain; the chain of ignorance by which he is bound in this universal field. Just to unchain that, for that, initiation is being done.

Prātibho’sya svabhāvastu but this automatic knowledge [prātibhā] which I have explained here, it is just automatic. He has not to depend on meditation, he has not to depend on anything, just awareness. If he is once aware . . .

You see if you do practice with awareness, with real awareness (I don’t mean this so-called awareness), . . .

DEVOTEES: (laughter)

SWAMIJI: . . . with real awareness, with real awareness, if you practice after one hour you will get samādhi; in one hours practice you’ll get samādhi, you’ll get trance. There is no doubt about it.

JOHN: What does real awareness mean, break-less awareness?

SWAMIJI: Break-less awareness, and scattering all other opposite agencies of thought.

JOHN: Which means, those things which would take you away from your awareness.

SWAMIJI: For instance, you are aware, you maintain awareness on that point. On that point of awareness, just this thought will creep there, this leakage that, “this awareness is very nice . . . this awareness is very nice.” He will make friendship with you. That enemy will make friendship with you just to creep in your mind, just to tell you that “awareness is best.” And this “awareness is best” this also is an obstacle. This will create another series of thoughts.

“This is very nice . . . I am so happy . . . and I am one-pointed now . . . I am one-pointed!” This thought also will carry you away from one-pointedness.

So by this, these are the ways and tricks of this māyā, that carry you away from that awareness.

So you have to be aware, bas, AWARE! Don’t let anything like the praise of awareness and nothing happen in between. Just go on doing with awareness, don’t let any thought come. This is what happens and everybody is crying, all disciples are crying, “we don’t achieve anything!”

What will happen to the master?

DEVOTEES: (laughter)

SWAMIJI: He has to suffer.

Gurvāyattā tu sā dīkṣā this [inferior] initiation is dependent to master. But this prātibhā, prātibhā knowledge . . . if once you maintain that prātibhā knowledge (prātibha knowledge means just if you have command on awareness, when you have full command on awareness, don’t let anything creep in), and that is kevalΔ« bhāva siddhidaαΈ₯ that awareness will carry you to that greatest power, greatest power of maintaining oneness with Lord Śiva, and without any other support.

Kevalasya dhruvaṁ muktiαΈ₯, kevala is one who is independent in meditating, in maintaining awareness (not meditating), maintaining awareness. You have to be aware, you are there, Lord Śiva is present, just be aware! You have to just remain aware and you are one with Lord Śiva. But that awareness, you must understand what that awareness is. That awareness is very difficult to understand.

There are so many disciples, so many masters preaching this method of awareness, but nobody has understood it. Only one person understands in one billion disciples ‘what awareness really is’.

Awareness . . . you have to see it yourself; you are yourself the authority, nobody will help you there. You have to see yourself what awareness really is. Awareness is one-pointed . . . undisturbed one-pointedness, undisturbed one-pointedness; undisturbed from any other agency.

This is also a foreign agency . . . what?

“This awareness is very nice, it has made me peaceful.”

This thought also, this is a foreign agency, foreign matter. This you should avoid. Go on, go on maintaining awareness, then you will see what will happen.

JOHN: But maintaining awareness in meditation doesn’t mean having that point, say you had some point of concentration, it doesn’t mean just having that point and losing your subjectivity–that’s not awareness?

SWAMIJI: No, that point is subjective.

JOHN: Some people believe you hold that point–outward point–and they don’t put any stress on inner subjectivity.

SWAMIJI: No, this subjectivity, this is also one drawback in our understanding. Subjectivity does not reside inside only.

It is everywhere!

Subjectivity is everywhere!

So what can I say, what more can I say? You have to find out yourself. Unless you don’t find out yourself, guru and śāstras will do no help.

BRUCE P: Who finds out, who has to find out?

SWAMIJI: Yourself.

BRUCE P: The individual?

SWAMIJI: This individual; the individual consciousness. The individual consciousness has to find out.

BRUCE P: How could it possibly find out?

SWAMIJI: As you are taught by your master.

BRUCE P: But I’m taught that it’s nothing I do?

SWAMIJI: Huh?

BRUCE P: But it’s nothing I do. It’s God's grace shining.

SWAMIJI: But that is grace. When once you come to that point, that is grace, that is the sign of grace.

[Laughing . . . !]

It is very difficult sir.

DEVOTEES: (laughter)

SWAMIJI: Kevalasya dhruvaṁ muktiαΈ₯ paratattvena . . .

Paratattvena there must be a comma, after paratattvena . . . no, after sā, after sā there must be comma [,].

. . . kevalasya dhruvaṁ muktiαΈ₯ paratattvena sā, that liberation takes place by awareness founded by you only; not by awareness founded by a master. Awareness founded by intellect [śāstras] won’t do anything, awareness founded by master won’t do anything.

Awareness must come within your own self. It is why fully aware people will never get mad, it is not possible; they won’t become insane, never! Because they have got fully developed the intellect, intellectual power. This is your own intellectual power that will survive there. This is God's grace, if it survives, this is God's grace.

So it is definitely you will be liberated by that.
