The Self Realization
to help a Jiva to rightly understand and realise his own form and nature. This direction of six steps is shown by all towing great saints with a view to help a Jiva to sbak: off its ego, developed by its suffering its beginningless dream state, and its strong feeling of mine and thine and so to be completely free from it. If the Jiva realises that its real nature is free from this dream state, then in a moment it wakes up and achieves Samyakdarshana or right vision or perception and attaining right vision, it can quickly obtain liberation as its own real nature. Then it would not experience either joy, sorrow, contact about any perishable impure or any such object or Bhava = passion.
Thinking this way the Jiva finds purity, perfection indestructibility or imperishability, highest joy and freedom from all distinetions and distances (Antararahita = freedom from all differences.)
The Jiva has felt oneness in all shades of vibhava or natures of objects of opposite nature than its own by only a strong Adhyasa or superimposition and it should quickly realise that it is quite separate from all these objects of opposite nature and this realization should be experienced, clear, direct, extremely direct and immediate or Aparoksha.
When the Jiva has such immediate, direct experience, he is not at all bothered by any contacts with other objects, nor does he at all think about their desirability or otherwise and he becomes completely self-satisfied by experiencing that his real nature is totally free from bondages like birth, oldage, death, disease etc. All the persons who have determined to realise their Self with the help of these six steps to liberation as shown by that great All knowing
