Part V: The Student.
The knowing intellect skilled in grasping the pros and cons of every
theme, and cleared of all dross by the means just described, is the true
aspirant after self-knowledge, Discrimination, “non-attachment, self-control
and its accompaniments, keen desire of liberation, these make one fit to
inquire after The Real Self.
Vivekachudamani.
This Self cannot be realized by want of spiritual strength, by indifference,
by austerities unaccompanied with renunciation. The self of that knower
who applies himself to Self with the means described enters the Great Self.
Sages having found It, stand ever content in Spiritual Consciousness; remain
centered in the Self, being free from all attachment, and always at peace
within and without. They find the unconditioned and all-pervading, and
realizing It within, become one with the All. With faith firmly fixed in the
teaching of the Yogis, with the mind entirely purified through renunciation
and Spiritual Consciousness, ascetics, one with the immortal, become one
with the Real Self at the moment of dissolution.
