According to the teachings in Chapter 17, what is the process for turning away from worldly attachments and realizing the inner Self?

πŸ“– Chapter 17

Chapter 17 explains that the path to realizing the inner Self begins with abandoning the enjoyment of external objects and restraining the senses. One must first be free from all desires and then completely surrender to the Sadguru with firm faith. When the senses are abandoned by their objects and the mind renounces thoughts, the interior is turned back. The intellect also gives up its function of deciding, which leads to the supreme, changeless state of Brahman. This reversal of natural tendencies is essential for the awakening of the inner Self.
