Program from Vep - 9
The path to liberation is practiced through four essential sādhanās. The first is viveka, the discriminative wisdom above intellect. The second is vairāgya, detachment from all attachments. The third is realizing the six inner treasures: withdrawing senses from the external world, observing inner thoughts, and cultivating śraddhā, titikṣā, and samādhāna. The fourth is mumukṣutva, the burning desire for freedom from saṃsāra. One who practices these attains mokṣa. There is an inner fire, a dhūni, burning without wood in the solar plexus. Within this fire, a stream like the Gaṅgā flows, yet the fire is not extinguished. A yogī bathes within this confluence. This yogī resides within every heart, indescribable, spotless, and everlasting. This presence is instantly accessible within one's own breath, yet most search outside. The science of yoga is the origin of all sciences; its śakti holds the five elements together. The fire of yoga in the navel burns the seeds of karma. Realize this indwelling yogī.
"Through which you will attain liberation, mokṣa."
"Where are you searching for me? I am with you. My residence is in your breath."
