He advised seekers to practice self-inquiry by questioning who is experiencing thoughts and emotions, and to maintain awareness of their true nature rather than identifying with body and mind activities.

Sanjay emphasized that true liberation comes when one transcends this identification and achieves Jeevan Mukt (liberation while living), where the separate existence of ego disappears and one experiences undifferentiated pure awareness as their true self.
