Steps to Realisation explains the secrets of self-realisation.
The book begins by explaining the concept of organs – the external organs i.e., eyes, nose, and mouth are mentioned as instruments and internal organs i.e., brain, and heart are considered as organs.
Swami Vivekananda explains the importance of shutting down the instruments to activate the organs –
“So in order to control the mind, we must first be able to control these organs. To restrain the mind from wandering outward or inward, and keep the organs in their respective centres”.
Other important concepts like Shama, Dama, Uparati, Titikshâ, Shraddhâ, Samâdhâna, and Mumukshutva which lead to self-realisation are also explained.
