In this talk, Swamiji delves deep into the verses of Purushottama Yoga. He explains the truth of the Ashwattha (peepal) tree, the tree of worldliness, which is imperishable. One cannot perceive or comprehend the beginning or end or even the basis of this huge, strong samsara tree.

Bhagavad Gita says that this firmly-rooted tree can be cut only with the sword of detachment, with a mind that has withdrawn from external objects and that is not clinging to the fruits of action. Such a mind develops a comprehensive, universal vision. Having developed this detachment, the seeker must inquire into the eternal truth, taking refuge only in the Supreme Self.

In his path to realize the Self, the seeker must strive to divinize his interactional life. He must be effortful and striving in his theoretical learning and constantly strive to introspect on his own real identity. This can only happen when he truly does not cling to preferences and prejudices and he is completely surrendered to the Supreme Truth.

Explaining karma and its bondage, Swamiji emphasizes that by the non-dual knowledge the mind gets purified and the agitations of the mind are dissolved.
