The sages were very much pleased by Prithu’s request. The questions and answers between the teacher and the student benefit every one alike.

Sanaka advised them the path to self realization as follows:

“Only the most fortunate will have the inclination to listen to the Lord’s stories. Great people will share this Knowledge with every one.

Liberation from  worldly miseries is possible in two ways only – first, you have to get mentally detached from the world and second, have single focussed attention and devotion for the Lord.

When you have any doubts, refer to the Sastras only.

Do your duty as a worship to the Lord, explore more and more about Sadhana to purify yourself, be committed in your Pranayams, listen to His glory. All these will increase dispassion and you will rejoice in your own Self.

Thamasik people  are interested in materialistic gains, Rajasik people are fondling their sensory pleasures. So, stay away from both!

Until you develop devotion, be alone, rather than being in bad company. As much as possible, be in Satsang and listen to Knowledge.
