Make Enquiry

Don't waste energy into finding out meaning of abstract words like God, Soul, Self, Atma, Guru,etc. as they are not going to help you in any manner. In fact they will unnecessarily consume your vital mental energy.

Simply ask and make enquiry of only two existential questions:

1. Are you body ?

2. Are you mind?

If you succeed in getting clarity/knowledge/understanding of only these two questions, that will be sufficient to make you free from all other questions because these two are parent of all the questions in the existence as you can imagine.

Meaning of clarity/knowledge/understanding---If you have really known then that understanding must be reflected in your day to day behaviour in relation to animate and inanimate both.
