svadhyaya v0.2: Moksha

My goal with my spiritual practice is moksha. It is not self-help, it is not to feel better, it is moksha! It may take me many many lifetimes but meditation and study and everything else is based on the notion of me working towards moksha.

So this is a reminder for myself. I am not pursuing a goal of studying these things for the sake of studying these things. I am doing these things because I want to achieve moksha.

This is why the Inner and Outer practice is important. The Inner path is focused completely on experiential and the Outer is focused on getting the appropriate information. The outer is a pramana for the inner world.

This also means that the Inner period is worked on as a mediation in of itself. Focused on training the mind continuously. Focus on the mantra as a part of this and any thoughts not it as a thought or write it down for later and return to the task. We are not looking for improvement during this period. We are strictly looking for observation.
