Each individual is on a unique path toward moksha.  Some require indepth
sastric study, others bhakti, others mantrayog, kundaliniyog, etc.  And
almost all require a blend of the different methods.  Yet virtually all
must finally adopt the jnanayog of introspection.  When this is taken is
the variable.

The overload of information and its ensuing confusion is also an inevitable
revelation.  It's an unmistakeable indicator that one is ripe for jnana,
especially atmavichara.

Namaste.
