________________
The Self Realization
seer, the body etc. as the non-sentient objects, the known. Attachment, hatred etc. are born of ignorance. The knowledge of the nature of the Self removes it and then such an enlightened Soul realizes the Self as the seer and not the author of actions nor the enjoyer of the fruits thereof.
To remove the Soul's delusion of believing the body etc. as the Self is to destroy the existing actions binding the Soul and not to create the fresh ones, and that is the secret of religion. All religious methods aim at removing the Soul's attachment to the body etc. The more non-attached one is the more truly religious he is known.
ए ज धर्मथी मोक्ष छे, तुं छो मोक्ष स्वरूप ।
अनंत दर्शन ज्ञान तुं, अव्याबाध स्वरूप ॥११६।। E ja dharmathi moksha chhe, tu chho mokshasvarupa, Ananta darshana jnana tu, avyabadha svarupa. 116 This true Religion leads to Freedom, You are image of Liberation, You are undisturbable Wisdom, You are infinite knowledge, vision. 116
The above described path of Liberation alone can bring about the Soul's Liberation. O my disciple, as pure Self you are Liberation itself, eternal, all-seeing, all-knowing, free from limitations and imperfections and the seat of abiding happiness and bliss.
शुद्ध बुद्ध चैतन्यघन, स्वयंज्योति सुखधाम ।
बीजुं कहीए केटलुं ? कर विचार तो पाम ॥११७।। · Shuddha buddha chaitanyaghana, svayamjyoti sukhadhama,
Biju kahiye ketalu ? Kara vichara to pama. 117
