Do not look at the world with a worldly eye. Look upon it with the eye of the Soul (Atma), as the projection of the Supreme Self (Paramatma). Then you can cross the horizon of dualities into the region of the Oneness. The One is experienced as many because of the forms and names people have imposed on it. That is the result of the mind playing its game. Withdrawal from sensory objects promotes inner exploration (nivritti), not outer inquiry and activity (pravritti). Along inner exploration lies the path of intellectual inquiry (jnana). The sacred activities like rituals and sacrifices laid down in the Scriptures help only to cleanse the consciousness. The freedom that makes one aware of the truth, is gained only by listening to the Guru, ruminating over what has been listened to, and meditating on its validity and significance. Only those who have detached their minds from desire can benefit from the Guru.
