In this session, Ma emphasizes that constant self-examination and introspection are essential for a spiritual seeker. Every thought, emotion, action, and interaction must gradually be divinized. One must begin the day with gratitude, blessedness and the recognition that all actions occur by the will of the Supreme. This thought imbues the mind with a feeling of humility and surrender.

Knowers, as described in Vivekachūḍāmaṇi, exhibit equanimity amid honour and dishonour, pleasure and pain. They perform all activities naturally, with complete freedom from expectation and attachment to results.

Mental disturbances arise from subtle expectations, and sincere introspection reveals these roots. Liberation lies in the attenuation of desires, even the desire for liberation itself. The seeker should cultivate the witness bhava, and introspect on the Self--one’s own real identity—which is untainted like space, self-luminous, unshakeable and unbounded. While moments of clarity may arise through listening, reading or chanting, true stability comes only when self-abidance becomes a habit.

Ma advises constant Vichara, along with the practice of seeing everything—nature, people, and objects—as permeated by God. This loving, devotional outlook gradually centres the mind, making the spiritual path joyful.
