Self-realization leads to Supreme-Bliss. For that one should renounce attachment, sense-enjoyments and he/she should be calm and controlled.

Sloka 472:

Realize that nature of Athman is Bliss Absolute.

Sloka 473:

Perceive the nature of the Self with the eye of perfect Knowledge through Samadhi. Understand declarations of Sruti from perfect teacher to get rid of scepticism.

Sloka 474:

To realize Self i.e attain Moksha (Bliss Absolute) any one of these four pillars are more than sufficient if suppose you achieve all the four then where is the question of doubt? They are Knowledge on Scriptures, Logical Reasoning, Advise of Self-realized Teacher and Self-experience.

Sloka 475:

Bondage and liberation, contentment and anxiety, health, hunger etc..are known only by the person concerned; others can only imagine about it.

Sloka 476:

The Teachers and the scriptures instruct the disciple; the man of Realization crosses over (Avidya) by illumination and the Grace of the God.

Sloka 477:

Knowing his own Absolute Self through Realization, (In other words others can’t grant Self Realization) becoming perfect, a man should stand face to face before Atman, with a mind free from all concepts of dualism.
