Only after ascertaining the true state and nature of things worth discarding or accepting and disassociating from all external objects, one should accept the things worth accepting for the upliftment of the Self.
EXPLANATION One should disassociate oneself from all external objects like wife, son, wealth and riches, friends and foes, etc. which cause attraction and attachment and impede development of the Self. A mortal should seek refuge in the pandra parmeshthies and remain absorbed in meditation gaining knowledge of the Self.

The teacher further advises:
Even after disassociating oneself from external objects and becoming absorbed in the Self, one should not get very ambitious about himself attaining moksha, because so long as there is a feeling of desire within you, you would not be able to achieve selfrealization.
