Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra

The Magnum Opus

The crown jewel of Shrimadji’s philosophical literature, Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra, is a 142-verse poetic masterpiece. It was composed by Shrimadji in a single sitting of about one and a half hours, when He was merely twenty-eight years old. The treatise is the heart of the path, an encyclopedia of spirituality, and the nucleus of all scriptures.

The Six Fundamentals

The Soul Exists

The soul appears the same as the body due to the illusory identification with the body; but both are distinct like a sword and its sheath. It is of the nature of pure consciousness.

The Soul is Eternal

Knowledge of the birth and death of the body cannot arise unless the entity experiencing the knowledge is different from the object. Nothing can create or destroy the soul; thus, it is eternal.

The Soul is the Doer of Karma

If the soul remains conscious of its true self, it acts in tune with its nature; if it does not remain conscious of its true self, it becomes the doer of karma. The body, or lifeless matter, has no capability to acquire karma. The soul is the acquirer of karmic bondage.

The Soul is the Bearer of Consequences

Poison and nectar have no understanding to affect anyone, but one who consumes them gets affected; similarly, the soul bears the consequences of its meritorious or unmeritorious karma. God does not give the fruits of its actions.

The Soul can be Liberated

There is freedom from the bondage of karma. With the ultimate dissociation of the soul from the connection with the body, it eternally stays in the liberated state and experiences its own infinite bliss.

There is a Path to the Soul’s Liberation

The means through which one can realise the pure ever-lasting conscious soul, constitutes the path of liberation. Delusion prevailing from infinity is annihilated with the advent of enlightenment.
