FAQs
It declares that realized knowledge of the kṣetrajña (the inner Self) is not merely theory but the direct instrument of liberation; once that liberating task is completed, the seeker becomes kṛtakṛtya—fully accomplished—and naturally ceases further restless striving.
While framed in jñāna language, it aligns with mature bhakti: when devotion culminates in steady God/Self-realization, the “work of liberation” is fulfilled and the devotee rests in inner completion rather than chasing external attainments.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is sādhanā-oriented—cultivate and apply liberating Self-knowledge as the primary means, rather than treating learning as an end in itself.
