FAQs
It teaches that sustained spiritual practice (abhyāsa) has purifying power: it destroys sin (kilbiṣa) and leads the practitioner to Brahmaloka, a realm described as free from delusion (moha).
Brahmaloka signifies an exalted spiritual realm associated with Brahmā, portrayed as a state or plane of existence where ignorance and delusion do not prevail, indicating a higher clarity of consciousness and merit-born attainment.
It emphasizes disciplined repetition and steadiness in practice: consistent effort purifies one’s past faults and gradually elevates the mind beyond भ्रम/मोह (delusion), aligning life toward higher spiritual goals.
