Vedanta teaches that finding Moksha, or liberation, is like a journey to discover ourselves and understand the deeper truth of life. Here’s my take on it:
Knowledge (Jnana): The first step is learning about reality and who we are. This means studying important texts like the Upanishads and thinking deeply about ideas like Brahman (the ultimate reality) and Atman (our individual soul).
Detachment (Vairagya): This step is about not being too attached to things we own or experiences we have. True happiness doesn’t come from outside things, but rather from what’s inside us.
Self-Inquiry (Atma Vichara): This means looking within ourselves to understand our true nature. Asking questions like "Who am I?" helps us remove confusion and see things clearly.
Practice (Sadhana): Doing regular activities like meditation, yoga, and devotion helps us feel closer to something greater than ourselves.
Grace (Kripa): Finally, Vedanta reminds us that divine grace, or help from a higher power, is essential on this journey. While we can work hard for Moksha, there are parts of the process that we cannot control.
By following these steps, we can experience deep changes in our lives and find freedom.
