Quote
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.

Moksha (ultimate liberation) does not come; moksha is understood. ‘You’ are yourself moksha [the nature of the Self is liberation], but you do not have that awareness. That is why moksha (liberation) is understood.
