person masters these seven states, he becomes an
emancipated person whether he animates beasts
full of Ajnana, whether he conforms to the worldly
observances or not, or whether he is associated
with body or dies.
Tatwa-Jnana is the release from the trammels of
one s own mind. Such a release alone leads to the
attainment of Moksha. If the illusions of the world
are considered as unreal as a mirage in a desert,
then the Ajnana in the man will bid adieu to him. If
this Avidya or ignorance be considered unreal,
then it will be annihilated. Those transcendentally
holy personages, who have cognized all the true
Jnana states through Samadhi which leads to the
realisation of their own Atman, do truly deserve
the worship and meditation of all. Those who have
subjugated their long standing foes of the sensual
organs and have reached thereby the supreme state
in which they are reverenced by all and do regard,
as insignificant, the position of even Devendra and
emperors are the knowers of these seven states. But
those who have not so attained these septenary
states are simply drowned in the ocean of births.
