*************************************

What do you mean by "ritual" and "work"?

 

Sages of Advaita Vedanta and the scriptures say, "Know *That* by

which all else is known".

 

As Sri Frankji suggested earlier, it is helpful to study the lives of

Sages like Sri Ramana.

 

Self-Realization is neither pro-ritual nor anti-ritual. It is not pro-

work or anti-work. Therefore one can remain satisfied regardless of

one's inclination toward certain rituals or mode of worship or

spiritual practice, etc.

 

Love to all
