Self Realization

                                             Srimad Bhagavatam

One must be pure at heart to enter the life of spiritualism.

To achieve this purity one should practice cleanliness, austerities, and compassion, and should perform the appropriate duties of life.

Work becomes purified when it is done for god.

When man loses the sense of right and wrong he lives in vain.

The atman is the indwelling self and reality in man.

The deluded man does not see that this self is separated from the prakriti.

The deluded man goes through endless births and deaths guided by his karma or post deeds.

If his character is dominated by Sattwa in the present birth, he becomes a deva or sage in the next birth.

If it is dominated by Rajas he is born an asura or manushya.

If it is dominated by tamas he is reborn in the lower wombs.
