Mukti· LiberationReceive Spiritual Knowledge With Faith
“Those who came before even our ancient predecessors meditated upon this same confidential knowledge of the Absolute Truth. Indeed, anyone who faithfully concentrates on this knowledge will become free from material attachments and attain the final goal of life.”
What the purport teaches
- This confidential knowledge has been passed down through authoritative lines of learned sages from time immemorial. It is not a newly invented teaching.
- One should cultivate the science of the Supreme with reverence, avoiding the distractions of fruitive rituals and mental speculation.
- Faithful meditation on this knowledge helps one give up false identifications with the material body and mundane society. In this way one becomes eligible for perfection.
