Maha Vairaja Vidya

One who is accomplis hed in Vairaja Vidya will be eligible to opt for M aha Vairaja Vidya. His mind s hould be fixed on the Brahman.
Having s et as ide ignorance and attachment, he s hould become cons cious nes s alone. He will attain ecs tas y and enjoy the never-ending
b lis s .

Karma
When Atman s tar ts knowing the tr uth, the r es ults of the pas t actions have alr eady begun. Ther e will not be any es cape f r om the r es ults
s ince the r es ults have alr eady begun. But af ter the r ealization, that ther e is no ‘ body’ or ‘ mind’ cons cious nes s , Kar ma will become non- 
exis tence. The r es ults will not bind the Atman. I t is like wr ongly identif ying r ope as a s nake. Af ter r ealizing the r ope is a mer e r ope, the
s nake dis appear s . Af ter r ealization, Atman identif ies its elf as Br ahman and not as a mer e body. Then kar ma will ceas e to exis t. The
abs ence of kar ma will r es ult in the abs ence of f ur ther incar nations .
