With that pure mind, listen to the stories of My Avathars – Shravanam. With constant Shravanam, you will develop love (Premam) for Me and it will get stronger gradually.

Then you will know that the objects of Prakrithi are perishable and only the Self is imperishable and eternal.

Thus you will develop indifference towards perishable, worldly objects and experiences. This is called dispassion; as it grows stronger you will experience the light and joy of the Self.

When your Abhimanam in food and other various worldly habits diminish, your mind’s focus will be on the Self only. As it gets stronger, you will experience Samadhi.

The nectar of joy starts flowing from your Self through your mind and spreads over your senses and body. (It means, your speech, touch and glance become sweet for every one).

The fire of desires dies out in you. The Prakrithi that disturbed you in the state of ignorance vanishes forever.  As the Agni in the Arani (firewood) burns it out completely, the fire of wisdom destroys all Vasanas and impurities in your mind.
