"To Remain With Your Innermost Self Or Soul..."
& Shrimadji said... "the thoughtful person (Vicharvan) is neither happy nor unhappy about leaving this body behind (about death).
For him, the only death is turning away from the awareness of consciousness of soul or Atman.
Not to be peaceful within oneself but to seek happiness outside (vibhava parinati) is the greatest loss and death itself.
To be one with your own nature to rest into knowledge only and to remain with your innermost self or soul, or the strongest desire for such a state of being removes even the fear of death."

"your Heart Is Touched By The Desire For Liberation..."
& Shrimadji said..."It gives me great satisfaction to see that your heart is touched by the desire for liberation.
The aspiration that the cycles of birth and death since time immemorial should now come to end, is certainly beneficial.
An opportune time will arrive when that which is desired will be attained..."

"Only Those, Who Are Presently Enlightened, Can Help..."
& Shrimadji said... "Earlier there have been innumerable beings, who were highly enlightened, but they cannot remove the faults of the worldly beings.
For instance, if one indulges in ego, those earlier enlightened cannot come to point it out; only those, who are presently enlightened, can help in removing that fault.
The water from far away milky sea cannot quench one's thirst, while if there is a pot of sweet water here, it can quench the thirst..."

"Valuable human life goes in vain..."
& Shrimadji said... "Those who remain totally involved in deception, greed or illusion for the sake of gaining wealth, are very unhappy.
They cannot avail the wealth fully or partially; they merely undergo the trouble of procuring it.
They commit many types of sins and the death takes them away all of a sudden.
They are destined to the low state of existence; the cycle of their worldly life continues to move unabated.
Their valuable human life goes in vain; they are invariably miserable..."

"Means for the path of liberation."
& Shrimadji said... "(The belief of oneness with) The thought activity of attachment, aversion and ignorance is the main knot of Karmas.
That by which its stoppage occurs is the path of liberation.
The soul is the Truth (i.e. eternal existence) and consciousness itself, free from all accompaniments like impure thought-activity, body etc.
That by which such pure soul is attained, is the means for the path of liberation."
(verses 100 and 101 Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra)

"Recognizing the enlightened being..."
& Shrimadji said... "There are three major faults in preventing the people from recognizing the enlightened being;
one is the ego in the form of 'I know, I understand it' that prevails within.
The second is the greater attachment for the possessions than that towards the enlightenment.
The third is turning the face against the enlightened or not to revere them properly because of the fear of popular belief, disgrace or condemnation..."
