In Kariyani Vachanamrut 12 Question 1, it is said that the Karan body is the Maya of the soul. This is the source of ignorance. In addition, Shreejimaharaj is superior to the categories of Jeev, Ishwar, Brahm and Murtiman Mul-akshar. If this is not understood, and if one has upasana for some deity other than Shreejimaharaj, then this also constitutes the source of ignorance. This is stated in Loya Vachanamrut 17 Question 5 T7. If someone has evaluated the bliss of all others, such as Akshar, and concluded that the Lord's bliss is superior to all, and still he does not understand that he should unite with His Murti, the source of ignorance exists within him. Shreejimaharaj has manifested in order to eliminate this source of ignorance. Therefore, having upasana for other deities such as Mul-akshar is itself the source of ignorance.
