Always enjoy the Santhi that is the result of the stoppage of all mental agitations. Do not allow the mind to run after this and that. Train it to keep quiet. Keep away and afar, the mental reactions caused by contact with the external world. Then, you can become mere Existence, Sath; that is the state of the Muni or the state beyond the realm of the senses, where their fiat does not run. That is the real Saakshaathkaara, that is the Goal of Life.

"Mounam bhajaswa" it is said. But, what is mounam? Not the keeping of the mouth shut; it means, the getting beyond the influence of all the senses and getting established always in the consciousness of one's own Reality. Perpetual Ananda is also perpetual Santhi. When the mind withdraws from the external world, the tongue too becomes silent; all senses follow suit, that is the genuine Mounam.

This stage cannot be described in words; it cannot be communicated to others as 'such and such'. It belongs to realm of experience. Mounam means "the Parabrahma swarupa that is beyond all this". He who has reached it will be in the highest Santhi and the highest Ananda. If the activities of the intelligence are stilled, and if the Intelligence is harboured in Brahmam, one will become suffused with Brahmam, "Parabrahmamayam". One has to observe all this world as from afar, with an uninterested attitude. Prakrithi can be overcome only by this means. Such persons will escape the viles of the intellect, which breed doubts, delusions, and dualistic diversions, away from the Atmic reality.

The Buddhi or the intellect is the prime instrument; it should be cleaned of the rust of the sensory world or Prakrithi, and made to shine in its own pristine effulgence. Buddhi should not be wavering, or agitated or even activated; for, when it is so, the world appears manifold and multiformed. When the Buddhi is tranquil, Santhi envelopes man; he is immersed in Tejas, splendour; he is in the Akhanda paripurna ananda. This stage is also called Nirvikalpa, the Nirvikalpa-mounam.
