a large number of men. You will have to learn many things. You will have to fight. Even so,
you will have to prepare and purify the mind. You will have to acquire the four means of
salvation¾Viveka (discrimination between the real and the unreal), Vairagya (dispassion), Shad
Sampat (sixfold virtues) and Mumukshutva (eagerness for liberation). Then you will have to do
Sravana (hearing of the Srutis), Manana (reflection) and Nidhidhyasan (constant and profound
meditation). Then only you will get Atma Sakshatkara or Brahma Anubhava.
