________________
The Self Realization
O my disciple, your six questions on the six fundamental truths cover the general doubts of many prominent thinkers of the world about the nature of the Self. The Six replies given here cover everything that needs be said about the Self, its existence and eternity, its relations to actions, its bondage and Salvation and the method of Salvation. All the six truths have been here established beyond any shadow of doubt. Whosoever understands all these truths and lives up to them attains to Liberation without any reservation. Whosoever disregards anyone of these six truths due to his one sidedness does not get liberated.
जाति, वेषनो भेद नहि, कह्यो मार्ग जो होय । साधे ते मुक्ति लहे, एमां भेद न कोय ॥१०७।। Jati veshano bheda nahi, kahyo marga jo hoya, Sadhe te mukti lahe, ema bheda na koya. 107 Look not to caste-or garb-distinction, The path aforesaid is essential, Whoever takes it gets Liberation, No distinction in status final. 107
The birth in a particular community, gender or the use of any religion's uniform have no bearing on the knowledge of the Self nor on the attainment of Soul's salvation. One may belong to any sex, community, creed, or religion or race but if he becomes the disciple of an enlightened Guru, follows his advice and acts up to the path of liberation as laid down above, he obtains Liberation without fail. For all souls the path of Liberation is the same, and it is the knowledge of life in the Self. One has to change his attitude, he has to turn away from the world and the objects of the senses and has to concentrate his attention to and interest in the Self. One may know and accept the path of Salvation
