Anant Sarma
ParticipantThe sadhaka should practice the appropriate sadhanas. First one should gain the necessary qualifications for this purpose. That involves the recognizing finite nature, the unreal nature of everything in the world and asking if there is anything that is infinite and real. With proper discrimination, you should develop a dispassion for the finite. Other disciplines of mastery over the senses, mind, withdrawal from the world of objects, having faith in the words of scriptures and so on must be enhanced. An intense desire for moksha should be there. This set of qualifications is what is called sadhana catushtaya sampatti. This can be gained through karma yoga which gives the purity of mind. Other spiritual practices such as japa, upasana will give focus of mind. With a pure and focused mind, one can embark upon the jnana marga, the path of knowledge which consists of sravana, manana and nididhyasana. Thus you gain the knowledge and get established in it.
