Abstract - Karma / कर्म
Self Realization / आत्मानुभूति
Perception of the unity of the divine is wisdom. The sense of duality must be eliminate to realise the oneness of the Absolute.
Knowledge of the true Self dawns in man when he has purity of the heart. This purity can he achieved only through Karmas. The BODY, the MIND and the SOUL, all three are involved in the human entity. They are inextricably interdependent. When they become disparate, life loses its meaning.
When the body is subject to the mind and the mind is controlled by the soul, life finds fulfillment When the body alone is predominant, the human descends to the level of the animal. When the mind prevails over the body and the sensory organs, the human level is attained. When the soul prevails over the mind and. The body, Divinity is realised. Purification of the heart is the basic goal of life Recognising this fact, the Bhagavad Gita has indicated a three-stage path to divinity. Engaging the body in good deeds, using the mind to develop good thoughts and human qualifies and to contemplate on God through Upaasana (worshiping the Divine) man reaches the stage when, like a river joining the ocean, he merges in the Brahman. This is the process by which the human becomes one with the Divine. Whatever scriptures one may study, whatever saadhanas (spiritual efforts) one may practice or pilgrimages one may make, unless one succeeds in getting rid of the impurities in the heart, life will remain worthless and meaningless. Purification of the heart is the essence of all scriptural teachings and the basic goal of life.
