Dear Bhagavatas, Please note, the material posted should be read carefully, and contemplated on overtime. A cursory read will not reveal the essence of the posts. Further, note these posts are only a guide and a precursor. There is a point beyond which self inquiry cannot take you. At this point one has to turn to his or her Acharya. Seek him out, with the utmost devotion; surrender to him. Any further reduction of the domination of avidya karma can only occur through him. In fact, If one is fortunate enough to be in close proximity to his or her Acharyan, he or she should learn directly from him, and not resort to the less perfect method (self inquiry.) Note, however, that one has to use his or her free will to get him or herself to a point where he or she is capable of total and unconditional surrender (if one is not already at that point.) Adiyen
