This short text of Shri Shankaracharya outlines forty steps or spiritual practices to be undertaken to reach moksha, liberation or enlightenment. These steps are like those one climbs to enter a temple - steps lead to discovering the divinity within, atma, the true Self.
In every temple, the deity (vigraha, murti) is present in the innermost chamber, sanctum sanctorum (garbha griha). So too, inside of every person lies atma, the true self, which is sat chit ananda, unborn, uncreated, limitless, consciousness. The steps of spiritual practice, sadhana, needed for atma vichara, self-enquiry, that lead to enlightenment, moksha, are described in this famous hymn.
Swami Tadatmananda is a traditionally-trained teacher of Advaita Vedanta, meditation, and Sanskrit. For more information, please see: www.arshabodha...
