## Necessary Sutras
The **Acharanga Sutra** states: "O Gautama! There are no words to describe the bliss of liberation. Just as a mute person knows the taste of jaggery but cannot describe it, similarly, the liberated souls who have attained the **Niranjan** state experience the bliss of liberation but have no words to express it. After attaining the **Niranjan** state, all suffering ends."
## The Bliss of Liberation
Thirty-two thousand crowned kings stand in service, hands folded, awaiting orders. Is the happiness of the **Chakravarti**, the ruler of six continents, greater than the bliss of liberation? If the **Chakravarti's** happiness were greater, why would he himself abandon his vast empire and embrace the life of a mendicant? The **Chakravarti** himself considers his happiness insignificant, even trivial, compared to the bliss of liberation. The devotee, through righteous practice, attains liberation and ends all physical and mental suffering.

Therefore, faith is the nectar of life. Achieving any goal is not difficult, but faith or belief is rare.
"**Sad Dhaami** is extremely rare." - Uttara Sutra, Chapter 3

Dedicated practice with unwavering focus on the goal leads to success. Single-mindedness in achieving the goal is the foundation upon which success sprouts, grows, flourishes, and bears fruit, leading to fulfillment. A person lacking single-mindedness, firm belief, and unwavering faith in their goal, no matter how hard they strive, will never succeed. Whether it be education, artistic pursuit, business, industry, or religious practice, success can only be achieved through dedicated effort with faith and belief.
There are two forms of faith: **Samyak Shraddha** (right faith) and **Andh Shraddha** (blind faith). **Samyak Shraddha** is based on reason, while **Andh Shraddha** is based on unreason. Both originate in the human heart. Just as a cow's udder...
