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

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.


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.

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.

Principles and Practices for a Society Cultivating Pure Devotion

1.Selfless Action

Act without desire for personal reward.

Uphold dharma (righteousness) naturally in all duties.

2.Constant Vigilance and Purity of Mind

Keep the mind alert, disciplined, and focused.

Cultivate purity through continuous reflection and awareness.

3.Source of True Devotion

Recognize that a pure mind is the wellspring of devotion.

4.Role in Society

A selfless person becomes a guardian of social responsibility.

Silence in unrighteousness.

Silence in unrighteousness is a sin,

It feeds the strength of those within.

The quiet witness, too, takes part in sin,

Both share the guilt in their soul & shine.

This truth endures through time and space,

This is the Eternal law none can erase.

 Daily Reading of

These twin great lights lead the spirit through.

Till Self is seen in the soul’s pure light.
