Trust in the Scriptures, supreme love and devotion in the Lord, constant practice of Ashtanga Yoga (Yama, Niyama and so on), dispassion towards objects of pleasure  – all these Sadhanas will help you conquer the senses and the mind that moves through them. As you drop Vishayasakthy (the craving for pleasure) you will realize the oneness of Truth or Brahmam.

Note – our masters say that all Scriptures and Sadhana are just pointers. They are not the destination, but the road that takes you to the destination. Once you realize the Truth, your journey ends. There is no more need of the road or the pointers. But till then, we have to follow them with undeterred commitment.

This session describes the benefits of Samkhya Yoga which was explained in the last eight chapters.

Bhagavan says, “Oh noble mother, I have told you the “Jnana Swaroopam” that gives “Brahma Sakshatkaram” as told by Upanishads. If you can understand it well, you will know the true nature of Prakrithi and Purusha. Jnana Yoga and Bhakthi Yoga take you to the same destination.
