The Atma Bodha outlines the path to self-realization, beginning with the concept of mumuksu - one who recognizes that worldly pursuits don't provide lasting fulfillment. The qualified seeker must possess self-mastery and specific qualities (like alignment with dharma, emotional equilibrium, and lack of judgment). The text explains that liberation (moksha) comes not from adding to one's limited self, but by recognizing one's true unlimited nature through knowledge (not action). This knowledge must come from scripture (shastra) and leads to direct realization (aparoksha-jnanam). The text employs the method of Drk-drsya-viveka (subject-object discrimination) to reveal that Awareness (the Self) is distinct from body-mind conditions. It explains creation through Ishvara (knowledge-power in manifestation) and Brahman (unchanging reality), with maya as the intervening power that both manifests and veils reality. The individual (jiva) mistakes the five koshas (sheaths) for the Self, but through proper understanding (shravana, manana, nididhyasana), one realizes their true nature as pure Awareness, burning away karmas except prarabdha, while maintaining a deeper relationship with Ishvara.
