A man turns from being bound to being freed because of the vagaries of life, the problems he has to face during his lifetime, some very good deeds he may have done in his previous life or because of coming in contact with a great sage or a Saint. When one constantly remains in contact with the Saints he knows how to be in the state of self realization. After reaching this stage he should always try to reminisce about the self realization, think about everything with the wisdom as yet unforeseen and then meeting the Guru remains but a formality. He then follows the path shown by the Guru and goes on that relentlessly. When the Guru is satisfied with the Sadhana of the disciple he makes the disciple capable of having and remaining in the state of self realization at will. There is a beautiful combination of sacrifice and Yoga (Not the one commonly known to the world but the comprehensive one according to Hindu philosophy) in the pursuance of spirituality. The Sadhak finally leaves behind himself lack of the truth and bliss, all the doubts about everything forever. He starts studying Yoga i.e. trying to remain in the state of self realization for as long as possible. Till the time he requires efforts to do this he should understand he is not prepared for the next stage. That is all of these things should occur naturally to him and effortlessly. Once that is achieved he should rest assured that he is at the stage of the Siddha. From outside a Siddha doesn’t or may not look different from others but deep down his vision is fixed on the Parbrahma and is unaware of everything else. Shree Samarth says that the Siddha has no other work to do than remain in that state which gives the ultimate bliss. He never gets angry because he knows that his coveted possession can not be stolen by anyone. He never gets frustrated as he is devoid of selfishness. As his illusion that all that is visible is true vanishes so do the fear, glory and insult, grief and lust, pride and hate. As he also doesn’t have a feeling of and for the body he leaves it to the destiny and till death devotes his life to the cause of betterment of the world. Shree Samarth says that as one can’t separate the river which has merged with the ocean same is true with the Siddha who has unified with the Parbrahma.
