Synopsis
“Jiṋániicenmokśamapnuyát”. “One must attain self knowledge. The attainment of self knowledge means the attainment of salvation”. This was Shiva’s answer. In order to follow the path of spirituality one must possess one qualification, and that is, one must acquire a human body. All of you here have human bodies and that’s why you are entitled to follow the path of spirituality. This was Shiva’s reply.
Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that everything in this world is associated with fear in some way or another. Vaeragya (renunciation) is when one realizes the temporary nature of material objects with their related colors and no longer desires to be dominated by the constant fluctuations of pleasure and pain. Anandamurti then explains that the best abode for the mind is the Supreme entity-the entity free from all bondage. We obtain some knowledge from different transient objects (Prapti) but it tends to get quickly forgotten. On the other hand, the knowledge we obtain directly from the Supreme entity remains with us unfailingly (Apti). Anandamurti goes on saying that those who fill their minds with the Supreme truth and always remain under His shelter, will never be distracted by pettiness nor selfishness. They will fearlessly move along the path of bliss and achieve their spiritual goal.[1]
