When is one considered to be in the awareness of ‘one’s own Self’? It is when all the desires become mild (when desires lessens).

If you can afford to live in this worldly life, then there is nothing you need to understand further, and if you find the worldly life bothersome then you need to understand spirituality. In spirituality, we need to know the nature of the Self (Soul). When ‘who am I?’ is known then all puzzles will be solved.

Shukladhyan (internal state that renders the constant awareness of ‘I am pure Soul’) means Dhyan (internal state of being) of the eternal form of the Self, the Soul. Dhyan is a natural thing. And in shuddha upayog (pure applied awareness as the Self), one must do spiritual effort with awakened awareness as the Self.

Only when there is dharmadhyan (absence of adverse internal state of being that hurts the self and others) in the body, there will be shukladhyan (Internal state that renders the constant awareness of ‘I am pure Soul’) in the Self (Soul).

Except for shukladhyan (contemplation as the Self, Pure Soul), engrossed involvement in any other forms of dhyan (contemplation), gives rise to the worldly life.

If one can exactly see the world ‘as it is’; if one can exactly see the ‘relative’ and the ‘real’, it is shukladhyan (Internal state that renders the constant awareness of ‘I am pure Soul’).

It is considered as artadhyan (adverse internal state that results in hurting the self) only when the mind and the Self (Soul) become engrossed with one another; and also when one does not realize that artadhyan has occurred. And if one realizes that artadhyan has occurred, then it is not called artadhyan; then it is the mind.

When the Self (Atma) becomes engrossed (tanmayakar) in the resultant states of the mind, then meditation (dhyan) arises.

For the one whose adverse internal meditation that results in hurting the self (artadhyan) and  adverse internal meditation that results in hurting the self and others (raudradhyan) have ceased, he can attain final liberation in just one more lifetime (ekavtari).
