There is not an iota of difference between thy inherent nature and mine. But thou hast attained the status of Paramatma on becoming void of Karmas while I, being overpowered by Karmas, am still wandering in the universe."
By resorting to such Bhakti (worship) of the Paramatma with full devotion, Atma can easily succeed in realizing its beatitude. Just as the image of Jinendradeva is the best means for the upliftment of the soul, in the same way, religious scriptures and tyagi Gurudevas (those teachers who have renounced the world) also are the best and the most praiseworthy means. By coming in contact with them, Atma undergoes a change, gets associated with the righteous path and developes and becomes powerful enough to destroy the Karmas.
