Section 2 61
संसार-वृक्ष के नाश का उपाय | The means to destroy the tree of the world
Summary (in English)
In Sloka 148, the journey from performing one's svadharma (own duty) to realizing the paramātma (Supreme Self) and achieving liberation is described. The verse emphasizes that by adhering to the guidance of the śruti (Vedic scriptures), one achieves ātmaviśuddhi (self-purification). This purified state of mind, termed viśuddha-buddhi (pure intellect), facilitates the realization of paramātma. Such realization leads to the complete destruction of saṁsāra, the root of worldly existence. Therefore, the sloka underscores the importance of following scriptural wisdom to achieve spiritual attainment.
