Self enquiry the only means to Emancipation

(Pujya Bapuji's simple commentary on Sri yogavasishtha)
Vasishthaji says o Rama it is better to wander about with a begging bowl in the houses of lowly people while leading the life of an aspirant of self enquiry then to live a life steeped in ignorance.’
I one gets the satsnag on Brahmajnana and he gets alms form the house of candelas to eat then it far better then the other opulence. If he enjoy the other opulence then he will go to different hells after but if he will have recourse to satsnag then he will attain union with the Braham who is the immortality personified. Hence one should always carry out works of sever for the contemplation on god meditation on god and pleasures of god. One should not waste time in laziness or wandering about. We should not follow the dictates of mind. Our spume welfare lies in following the dictates of the scriptures food or the guru. One who becomes Manmukh one who follows the dictates of his mind invites his destruction because the mind is driven by lust anger and escaping . It is Ashtaavakra in moves in eight crooked ways and hence one who attaches himself to the mind meets destruction. One should stick to the guru mantra to the god to the self the supreme self. If one practice of median an decoction is not firm then he will be carried off by his mind Mount sure cannot be uplifted by the storm, but a blade of grassing up lifted even by ordinal, win similarly the lord is the mountain of the mountains take refuge in him. If you depend on the worldly object then he mind will delude you.
Aasishthaji said o Rama! Self knowledge cannot be attained with out self enquiry by virtue of any blessing.
Yes! It is not possible that some one will get self knowledge by virtue of blessing on no Blessing can be effective in proving other benefits but self realization cannot be attained solely through blessings. The Guru gives spiritual instruction then one has to reflect on that and while refuting on self knowledge one gets established in self in the supreme self. When even sorrow or anger comes you see it with witness a tube. Also witness the apprehension affecting. Also witness the apprehensions affricating the mind and an the passion of the mind. Don’t get over powered by passion an don’t’ be the salve to the circumstances. Peep with in be alert an do japa . One who wants to get lineated in this very life should do japa of omkar for there hours. Practice mediation for three hours service to his guru for three hours. If one is assiduous then he can defiantly achieve his supreme goal very easily. Don’t waste time. Don’t listen to the worthless talks. make efforts only for the attainment of god be devoted to kindle the light of self knowledge.

The self is with in the supermen self is also always present still why there sin no end to sorrows? Because we do not know him. Swami Ramatirtha said if you read yoga Aasishthaji gains an again then you will get the ultimate experience of liberation. we listen to satsnag on yoga Vashthytha again and contemplate on it. Hence there is peace and bliss in the mind of sandbanks.

Those sinful men whose minds are reeling amidst sensual pleasures being lead ways by then due to lack of self enquiry can truly be said to be the vermin generated out of the offal in their mother womb.
Once who has renounced enquiry about the nature of self become worms or eggs in the mothers wombs still they are not relived of suffering. Hence one should practice self enquiry repeatedly.
Do self enquiry get peace in self then even the self enquiry will subside. When the mind wanders there and there the gains turn it towards the self or the supreme self. This will bring about the emancipation..
