When “hearing” (śravaṇa) of the Truth fails to remove my ignorance, I don’t find spiritual freedom but instead find myself beset with doubts and questions. That is the time to take the second step.

The purpose of Vedanta’s Four Basic Practices is to lead us from bondage (bandha) to freedom (mokṣa). This journey is said to occur in three steps. Which is the first step I need to take?

The “six treasures” is the third of Vedanta’s Four Basic Practices. But “six treasures” is itself a collection of six practices! Why have these practices been clubbed together and treated as if they constitute just one practice?

Without longing for spiritual freedom (mokṣa), why would anyone take the trouble to do any spiritual practice? To long for freedom, we must first feel our bondage. What kind of bondage are we speaking of here? Can longing for freedom be “practiced”?
