Talk 26 : Verses 46-49
The Guru explains the means to liberation is through shraddha, bhakti and the practice of contemplation. The root cause of bondage is ignorance of our true Self, leading to identification with the BMI, and the Jiva suffers in the changing world of samsara. The fire of knowledge born out of these practices and vedanta vichaar will annihilate the spiritual ignorance. The student now humbly poses seven questions to his teacher, the responses to which form the text of this prakrana Granth. The questions are related to the Self or the Atma, the not-Self or anatma, bondage - its cause, its sustenance and means for liberation.
