Lose his mine-ness

“When a man surrenders himself as a slave to the divine Lord, he realises at the end that all his actions are the actions of God.

He loses his mine-ness. This is what is meant by ‘doing the will of God’. This is Siddhanta [the final view; the settled conclusion].

When a man realises that he has lost his ahamkara (I-ness) and that he is not different from Isvara, he is a jnani. This is Vedanta.

But see! The goal is the same.

There are two ways open to one: bhakti and jnana.

A bhakta surrenders to God and rests secure in His protection.

A jnani knows that there is nothing beside the Self and so remains happy. One must adhere firmly to either of these courses.”
