Worshipful service rendered unto such a Jnani-Sat-Guru quickens one's spiritual wisdom to attain the bliss of jivanmukti. If continued further, it bestows on the disciple even thestatus of videha mukti. Therefore, if one is keen on being releasedfrom bondage into the freedom of mukti, the one infalliblemeans of achieving that aim is the loving and worshipful serviceof the Jnani-Sat-Guru.

Firmly established in the Self, undisturbed by the leastripple of thought, as still as an idol of stone or wood, dissolvedcompletely in Brahman-Self, even as water is in milk, with awarenessdevoid of all impurities of thought and drowsiness, standing clearas the pure sky, the grandeur of the Jnani's nishta (firm stance in theSelf) defies thought and expression.
