Exposition of the Soul will have its meaning and relevance only when it is related to our life, revealing clearly how the thought and realization of the Soul will impact our day-to-day life and interaction. As in the case of Arjuna in Kurukshetra battlefield, the Soul science is imparted only to free the mind of various conflicts, torments and enigmas. While emotional conflict or turmoil is a creation of the mind, rational question or doubt is a product of the intelligence. Only when both these are redressed or resolved, the seeker will have the desired peace, freedom and poise.
It is here that Self-knowledge excels. Self-knowledge is an armour which enables individuals to course through vicissitudes of life, arising from interactions with persons, places and events. It empowers the mind and intelligence to rise above the usual worldly pressures and persecutions.
This practical relevance of the science of Self-realization should be properly grasped and let known to people. Knowledge is the paramount constituent of human life. When the intelligence assimilates an idea or proposition, it inevitably passes it to the mind, and both intelligence and mind become radiant. Nothing can then stop them from expressing this knowledge in all their actions and interactions.
