- Roles and identity: We assume different roles (father, worker, teacher etc.) but can lose ourselves in those roles. Wisdom is recognizing there is an “I” separate from these roles.
- Swadharma: Defined as one's personal duty or “what is to be done” based on one's values and relationships.
- Nature of the Self (Atma): The Self is not an object to be experienced in the future, but the ever-present awareness in which all experiences occur.
- Moksha (liberation): Not gaining something new, but removing the ignorance that obscures our true nature as awareness.
- Ishwara's grace: God's grace is earned through your own effort you put in to help yourself.
- Continuity of the Jiva: The causal body continues across lifetimes, carrying impressions and tendencies.
- Assimilation of knowledge: Even after gaining self-knowledge, one needs to continue immersing in the teaching to remove lingering notions of being limited.
