"Gain the spiritual essence..."

& Shrimadji said... "One, who has the attributes of broad outlook, impartiality, straightforwardness and control over the sense-organs, is utmost worthy to gain the spiritual essence..."

"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..."

"Resorting to the commands of enlightened..."

& Shrimadji said... "Even if one endeavours infinitely on his own, he cannot be enlightened by himself, while by resorting to the commands of enlightened one can attain omniscience within minutes..."

"Viewpoint of the enlightened..."

& Shrimadji said... "The worldly soul has learnt about the soul from the worldly viewpoint, not from the viewpoint of the enlightened. 


One, who has learnt from the enlightened viewpoint, gains the right perception..."

"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)
