The worldly life is like an ocean of ignorance! And one is born in this, and dies in this! If one can understand One's real form as the Self (nischay-swaroop) in this, then his (spiritual) work will be done!!!

As long as there is agnan (ignorance of the Self), the Self (Atma) is a gneya (an object to be known; realized). After Self-realization, the Self is the Knower (Gnata).

The path of moksha (ultimate liberation) has to be understood. This study of the self, doing penance, doing chanting is being done by Pudgal (Complex of intake and output; body complex). What is the benefit of that? Any Action done without the main (root) vision being changed, causes karmic bondage.

Gnayakata (to continuously Know and See) is Swaramanata (dwelling in the state as the Self).

The One in whom, there is no trace of ego, is a 'Gnani Purush' (the enlightened One).

The inherent nature of the Self (atma) is such that as the belief changes, one becomes like that. In that, the Self indeed remains the same, only the results change because of the ego.

Dwelling in the non-Self (paudgalik ramanata) leads to rebirth, while dwelling in the Self (Atma ramanata) leads to liberation (moksha), within one or two lifetimes.

One who is absorbed in the Self for even a moment, can become the absolute Self (Paramatma).

For how long does one dwell in the Self? Once the complete state as the Self arises, there is indeed no more dwelling (in the Self), is there! The Self (developing I) has indeed become the Self (absolute Self), so the state of dwelling [in the Self] has altogether come to an end!
