Sri Ramanujacharya

 

1.A seeker must acquire a true knowledge of the individual self and the Supreme;

 2.he must devote himself to meditation, worship and the adoration of the Supreme;

 3.this knowledge with discipline leads him to the realization of the Supreme. 

To put it briefly, the first affirms the tattva or the nature of the Reality, the second declares the hita or the means, and the third states the purushartha or the ideal of human endeavour.
