The Sadhaka must be fully engrossed in Spiritual Devotional Practice every day. Meaning of the Gurumantra should spring forth in him as spontaneously, and he must hold that true identity of Own-Self permanently. The Knowledge of the Oneness of Brahman leads you to the highest bliss. Identity of the Brahman is not possible if you view them along with their upadhis or add-ons. Eliminate the upadhis and you find the Reality. Taking pity on the ignorant Jiva drowned in misery on account of never-ending wants, Sadguru destroys its ignorance, ego, desires, attachments, and every other bondage, and leads it to the highest state of Bliss. The upadhis are bound to have dualities like joy-misery,good-bad, and so on. Only when you go beyond the upadhis ridden by joy and misery can you achieve real happiness by the Grace of the Sadguru. Let the Knowledge of One-ness sink deep in your Consciousness. Make this Knowledge your own and enjoy the kingdom of Liberation (Mukti). But without the teachings of the Sadguru and also without the regular Spiritual Devotional Practice, it is not possible. Sadguru devotions is the mother of Self-Knowledge.
