The pathway to liberation—Madhwa siddantha inspired by the Bhagawatam.
The Madhwa siddhanta talks of the pathway to Mukti or liberation, these can be found in the Bhagwat gita.
Purushah sa parah partha, bhaktaylabhyastwannyathaa
Yasaayatahsthaani bhutaani yena sarvidam tatam
{vii-22}
The Supreme divine who resides in all the tenses, ie the past,present and future, he who has created the world, to realize him is to be with him, the only path to this is devotion or dedication.
From bhakti comes knowledge, from knowledge comes liberation.
Bhaktyamaamabhijaanoti yaayaan yashchsmittatwatah
Tato maa tatwato jnaatwavishate tanataram
{xviii-55}
The adept recognizes and realizes the divine when he is dedicated or devoted to finding him, that brings him the understanding the understanding liberates him.
He who surrenders to the divine, shall experience the divine.
Twameva sharanam gaccha sarvabaavena bhaarata
Tatprasadat paraam shantim shanamprapayssi shashwatam
{xviii-62}
As srikrishna explains in the gita, surrender to the Omnipotent divine. If surrendered willingly to the superior intellect, it inspires, guides, and renders harmony. This liberates the soul.
As Sri Madhwa Acharya preaches, “Sri Hari is the Omnipotent Truth, the Divine he creator of all existence,. This is the difference between the Paramatma and the Jivatma. All souls individually apart but are the part of the great divine. The path of Liberation is surrendering to the divine omnipotent”
Sarvasya chaaham hrdi sannivishto
Matah smritrjnamapohanam cha
Vedaishcha sarvairahmeva vedyo
Vedantikkrdvedvideva chaaham
{xv-15}
What is preached by all the vedas is tha Sri Hari is the creator of all existence. Doing our duty without expecting anything in return and dedicating our act to him is the best devotion.a lifestyle thus adhered to will bring in internal peace, harmony and a sense of calm.
This was the teaching of Sri Krishna to Arjuna, these were then explained by Sri Madhwa acharya to his disciples, which Vyasa raya swami has brought to us.

who is a mystic?
Who is a mystic is something that always eluded me.
The word conjured the image of person who “experienced blue vistas, the greenery “someone who could pervade the expanses of everything by the power of nothingness.
The mystic to me is a sponge who absorbs and gives out when you need it.
When this romantic hue wave, I wonder whether the mystic is a seeker or does he intuitively know?
Exploring through the created by poets and bards I learn
Mystics are neither dropouts nor escapists; they are true scientist of catharsis and conversation.
Now and then the mystics have made claims of unqualified communion with gods or the nothingness that is also all.
The mystics interpret the world with different eyes than that is present in the ordinary experience. They have a way of seeing knowing in internal way of attaining knowledge they value and experience.
Mohamed shabistaari said “in god there is no duality in that presences I and we are you do no exist they all become one, the quest, the way and the seeker”
Mysticism shares a common area with magic prayer, worship, science and metaphysics it is based on the magic view of life though he does possess miraculous power a mystic is not interested in being a miracle man prayer and worship exist despite of not being the essence of mystical complex. Mysticism may take help from metaphysics or theology but they are not indispensable.
I like the definition “conscious of the beyond”
One quote I cannot remember the source that stayed with me
“God or the eternal and spirituality or the god state is exiled from the modern mind” the mystic view truer to heaven and home is more sane and inclusive.
Mysticism final goal appeared to be return to the root or source. There are psychological and Semitic blocks on this path like the prayer.
Asthoma sadgamaya, tamasoma jyothirga ma ya
Mrythorma amrutnaga ma ya
A true mystic is global—by his example he generates a set of altered relations and responsibilities the mystical values may be difficult but not worthless
They have inspired cultures and revolutions.
