The Nature of the Mind : 15.

Destruction of Sankalpas is really destruction of the mind.

It is only Sankalpas destroyed beyond resurrection that constitute the ineffable, imperishable and effulgent Brahmic seat.

The Sankalpas should be destroyed beyond resurrection.

The resuscitation of Vasanas allows the tree of Samsara to grow once again and therefore, the purpose of all methods of Yoga is the utter removal of all the possibilities of further appearance of the mind.

Calm, sure and steady should be the way of approach to Self-realization.

There is no other way to attain Liberation than the Knowledge of what really exists, for the bondage consists in the forgetfulness of the Absolute which is here and  Liberation cannot be attained by mere living in a forest and practising self-mortification.

It is not even the renunciation of Karma that is required for the purpose of Self-realization.

It is Knowledge that is wanted and nothing short of it.

Knowledge consists in the conviction that Brahmam is the only reality, that everything is Brahmam, that nothing other than Brahmam can exist, that Brahmam is the very Self of all.
