Self-realization, Mukti (liberation) ,Moksha (final culmination)

This body, the gross one, is formed from the five elements of nature. Mind, intellect, the five vital airs, and the five organs of knowledge, Joined with the five organs of action together make the subtle body. This subtle body is indeed the eternal dwelling place of the eternal soul, the independent one.

Self-realization is the awakening to one’s true nature as the eternal Self, beyond the body, mind, and ego, etc.

Mukti (liberation) arises once that realization dissolves bondage created by ignorance, desire, pleasure, etc., and finally from "Jeev" (जीव) and "Yoni" (योनि).

Explanation on terms:

"Jeev" (जीव) refers to the individual living soul or being.

"Yoni" (योनि) means womb, source, or origin, often symbolizing the place or form through which the soul takes birth in the cycle of existence.

Moksha is the final culmination, where the liberated soul attains complete union with Brahman, beyond rebirth and limitation.

In simple terms, self-realization leads to Mukti, and Mukti leads to Moksha.

True self-realization arises through the purity of devotion.

Self-realization and spiritual realization

Self-realization reveals who we truly are; spiritual realization reveals our oneness with the Supreme.

Pure devotion purifies the heart → purified heart brings self-realization → self-realization brings liberation → liberation culminates in moksha.

Signs of a Purified Soul

When the heart is choked with sacred sound,

And love’s pure tears the eyes surround,

When sobs arise and melt the core 

These show the soul is cleansed once more.

The Curriculum of Life

Some live confined to passing years,

Unmindful whence they ventured here;

Uncertain yet of time and way,

They shape their learning day by day

By fleeting wants that fade away.

But they who glimpse the deeper truth,

Who know what waits beyond life's youth,

Prepare their minds with wiser art,

And walk the path the spirit charts.

They study not for earth alone,

Nor chase the glories mortals own;

They seek the light that guides the soul

Through birth, through death, through higher goal.

Human Body.

To the wise, this frame of flesh and bone

Is not mere dust , it is the throne

Where Soul dwells, serene, supreme,

The heart and source of every dream.

Three gates before the seeker shine 

To Heaven, Freedom, Bliss divine;

But turned astray, the path declines,

To hell’s abyss where fire pines.

O blessed birth! - this human frame,

A chance to rise beyond all name;

For gods may reign, yet bound remain,

While man may break his mortal chain.

💖

The Body and the Soul

The soul is the life-force, silent and bright,

The primal power, the source of all light.

It gives each being its purpose and flame;

The body but answers when called by its name.

The body is only a shelter of clay,

A home where the soul chooses briefly to stay.

Though strong or adorned with beauty and grace,

It is not the dweller-only the place.

No bond truly binds the house and the one

Who lives within till his journey is done.

So stand the body and soul far apart-

One is the vessel, the other the heart.

Not flesh nor form makes a being refined,

But the soul’s own nature, pure or unkind.

All virtues and flaws from that source unfold-

The body is silent; the soul writes the code.

💧

Equality and Peace

Where equality walks, peace is born,

Where hearts are one, no soul is torn.

Similarity bridges mind to mind,

In shared reflection, truth we find.

But inequality sows the seeds of strife,

And conflict cuts through human life.

Dissimilarity widens the divide,

Where pride and difference collide.

So choose the path where all are seen,

Equal in worth, in shade and sheen.

For peace abides where oneness grows,

And love is equal-where equality flows.
