Description

Acharya Prashant explains the profound meaning behind the line 'Na Dharmo Na Chartho Na Kamo Na Mokshah' from the Nirvana Shatkam. He clarifies that while Shri Adi Shankaracharya states that the ultimate state is beyond even liberation, this realization is only for those who have transcended all worldly attachments and bodily identification. He warns that the ego often finds pleasure in prematurely claiming such high spiritual states, such as declaring oneself as the infinite soul while still being entangled in petty worldly desires. He emphasizes that before one can rightfully say 'Shivoham' (I am Shiva), one must first practice 'Namah Shivaya' (I bow to Shiva) with complete honesty and humility. He advises seekers to keep one eye on the teachings of great masters and the other eye on the reality of their own daily lives to avoid the trap of spiritual delusion. Ultimately, he stresses that spiritual texts should not be used to harbor misunderstandings about one's current state of consciousness.
