    There is a need for the ‘relative religion’. It is needed for the purpose of [spiritual] development, until the “Real” [religion of the Self] is attained. [Until then] The intellect increases as one gets beaten and bashed around (suffers), and as the intellect increases, the inner burning and suffering increases. When that suffering becomes intolerable, one looks for moksha (ultimate liberation).

The Gnani Purush does not remain [engrossed] in the body, mind, intellect or ego. That is why only the Gnani Purush can free us from our belief that 'I am the body.
