 Dear friends, gnAni is one who is aware that he has
 the Lord as antharyAmi. When he realizes this, the
 Lord takes care of him. The knowledge that one is
 shEsha and the Lord is shEshi makes a person gnAni.
 The definition of the self is given by SrI nammAzhvAr
 in a verse. When this verse came as the subject of
 KalashEpam, EmpeumAnAr sent SrI KoorathAzhvAn to Sri
 ThirukOshtiyur Nambi to learn the meaning of the
 verse,After waiting for several months, when Sri
 AzhvAn was about to leave, Sri Nambi called him and
 revealed that the word  "adiyEnuLLAn" (ThiruvAimozhi,
 8-8-2)is the definition of the self.
 When one is established in realisation of his self he
 becomes gnAni as he will be fit for attaining the
 Lord's abode.
