4. The liberating process during which the rules are to be
observed, sacrifices to be made, the duties of life to be performed and
active good done to all beings. During this process, the whole nature
of the man becomes one of universal compassion and friendliness.
Differences vanish. Good and bad become all alike.
The Jiva rests in his own Atma, which is the Atma of all
beings, and then all is calm and quiet.
