What is the ultimate goal of spiritual practice and how does one achieve liberation from worldly bonds?

The ultimate goal of spiritual practice, as explained in Chapter 19, is to achieve liberation and enjoy supreme bliss. This is realized through what is called "the science of the oneness of the Self," which is described as the pinnacle of knowledge. The path to this goal involves becoming free from all desires and knowing that the divine resides in all beings, which leads to fearlessness through non-duality. When this state is achieved, "the bonds of action created by ignorance break apart," and the restrictions of rules and prohibitions fall away, allowing the individual to enjoy the profound bliss of liberation.
