In fact, to obtain that bliss, Individuals (Jiva)has to say he is Brahman. The Knowledge of the Atman must be fully absorbed. This should not be restricted to mere intellectual understanding, it should be made your own and then you must become “THAT “. Actually, it is with this intention that the Sadguru explains these again and again. You should wholeheartedly listen to Sadguru’s words until you become THAT.
