Question: With the help of tatvajna (Tatvagyan), when we realize that "I am the consciousness and everything is nothing but the appearance of the same consciousness," shouldn't the need to become jivanmukta go away? In yesterday's talk, you explained three steps to take the journey from the realization to living it in our day-to-day lives. So my question is, if everything is in appearance, then why should one need to behave in a certain way that we think is correct or good?
