== Discrimination between Shreyas and Preyas ==

Shreyas and preyas are present in the life of human beings. Finally, the living entity is responsible for understanding the distinction between Shreyas and Preyas and working towards one’s liberation. And the choice of choosing between the two is based on sense of discrimination. The smriti & srutis claim that one who is dhira (steady) rejects preyas and chooses shreyas,<blockquote>''||Dhiras Tatra Na Muhyati, Tasya Dhira Parijananti Yoni||''</blockquote>And one who is slow and dull, chooses preyas.(1.2.2). This has been highlighted and glorified throughout the Upanishads. It is also said,<blockquote>''||Yatadagre vishamiva  parinamo Amrutomapa||''</blockquote>The process may be bitter, but the fruits are like nectar (अमृत  ||amruta).

A Manda (dull) person is one who does not understand his future. One who can recognize the past and remember everything that is called as Mati and that thing which utility friendly immediately or that knowledge is called as Buddhi. That integral knowledge that connects the past, present and the future such contemplation is called Pragya and to achieve this is the character of Pragya.  Manda or dull is the opposite of Pragya.  hat he desires of Yoga Kshema is about for him Yoga means to achieve those things which are not achieved and Kshema means after getting it trying to protect them and therefore in reality it becomes cause of unlimited anxiety and someone who is always has this assumption that he can protect himself that becomes cause of Ahamkara .

The lord is the real provider of Yoga Kshema, Yoga Kshema Vahamyaham (?) like our bodyguard. ईश्वर||Ishwara is always there to protect us but the one believes that he is the one protecting himseself and does not place his faith in the Lord for his welfare is a manda (dull and stupid). This is like the foolish person who is whilst travelling in a train carries his luggage on his head as he has no confidence in the power of the machine to pull itself. This is also echoed in one of the songs of the famous kannada saint, Purandara dasa,<blockquote>''“the living entity is always worried, but if he remembers Purandara Vitthala then he is free from anxiety.''</blockquote>A wise man understands that both paths, Shreyas and Preyas are opposing paths and as one traverses the path, one realizes that the gap between the two progressively increases. It is also clear that the two paths can never meet.

The Gyanis say that the path of preyas the path of ignorance and that of sreyas is the path of Knowledge.
