What does one need to do to become eligible for the 'science of the Self'?

As detailed in Chapter 17, eligibility for the science of the Self requires specific prerequisites. First, a person must become free from all desires. Following this, it is essential to completely surrender to the Sadguru. This surrender must be accompanied by firm faith. Only a person who has achieved this level of desirelessness and faithful surrender is considered eligible to receive this profound knowledge. This path involves abandoning the enjoyment of external objects like sounds, smells, and sights, and restraining the senses to reverse natural tendencies.
