What should one do to get rid of ignorance? Attain Gnan (Knowledge of the Self). Use tools such as books and scriptures for attaining knowledge but if you meet a Gnani Purush (the Enlightened One), then you don’t need any tools. The Soul (Self) is inexpressible and indescribable. It cannot be put in books.

As long as one experiences oneness with the relative self (dehadhyas) of ‘I am’ in this unsteady part of mind, body, intellect, the chit and the ego, one will not find one’s real Self and he will not experience the bliss of the real Self.

One has to understand the line of demarcation between the Self and the Non-Self from Gnani Purush (the enlightened one). His explanation holds truth in all three times i.e. past, present and future. The light remains the same, even after hundreds of thousands of years.

Happiness that comes and never leaves is called the bliss of the Soul.

Distress (vyakudta) gives rise to all the unhappiness, and all unhappiness is destroyed by attaining the distress-free (nirakudta) state from the Gnani Purush (the Enlightened One).

There is no place or circumstance in this world that can depress You (the Self).

There cannot be any time, situation or circumstance that can depress You (the Self).

Everything is mandatory in the world. Dying is mandatory, and being born is mandatory. So discover that which is of your own volition.

If you want to be free, then make an effort to know ‘this’ (what is mandatory and what is not); otherwise, whatever it is, it is ‘correct’.
