Yes Sir, it is not easy to or i would say it is not possible to define the state of Bhagavan or define the state of the "Self".. Normal human mind with ego, always wants to understand everything in some logical way or some way other. That is one reason why many people had such questions and even some devotees tend to describe saying ' Bhagavan is in so and so state, so his mind is in that state to act without ego ' which is again incorrect... A Brahma Jnani's state cannot be defined fullest ! some expressions with comparisons can be given, still that is not just what is said.
HIS state and HIS actions cannot be defined, one can only try to explain. If it is from GOD, it has to be accepted immediately, without any questions.
Arunachala Siva.. Arunachala Siva..
Robert Adams used to give this example a lot:
"Imagine a chalkboard, a Jnani is like a chalkboard, everything is written on the chalkboard, then erased, then again written, but chalkboard remains always unaffected. He sees images but he sees them as chalkboard i.e. as himself. To others, Jnani may appear as a body, but I can assure you that Jnani has NO BODY and is aware of it fully."
Then there was a discussion how Jnani acts in the world, again, to others it appears that he acts but he doesn't. Body does whatever it came to do and does it even better.
He gave an example of two physicists "Ajnani physicist thinks, plans, works on the project, gives effort to learn etc. while Jnani physicists does not think, does not plan, does nothing, body acts automatically and He does not need to know how it acts on its own"
It is really difficult state to explain, that's why main emphasis is on the practice and practice, practice.
