Engaging your mind in what you are not is Maya and if you drop everything then it is actual Knowledge. One who determined will acquire this knowledge of Brahman. The True Real Self has been forgotten. So, one must place his attention to that Self and let Maya be forgotten. That means one must understand this world is illusion and the Brahman is Reality. This must be stamped in mind. Once attraction of the worldly objective things has gone from the mind, you are the Self-Existent Brahman. Then there is Liberation, Satisfaction and peace remains for forever. This worldly existence is false; this reality must sink into your mind. However, without the company of the Sadguru, this does not sink in.
—Sadguru Shri Avadhootanand Maharaj.
