There is no connection between yajñopavīta and spiritual advancement. There are views that one should discard yajñopavīta after initiation into Ṣoḍaśī mantra. Such decisions are made either by one's Guru or one's own mind.

Dear Sir, What should be the state of yajnopavita when one is initiated into advanced mantras? Should one continue to wear the same or discard it?

You can any number of questions, but it is difficult to answer sensitive questions. You can always write to me through email. 1. Technically there is no difference between the two. Self-realization is about realization of the Self within. Once you realize the Self within, you will automatically look at the material world through the eyes of the Self. In that stage, all dyads and triads are totally annihilated. 2. Sālokya stage is like elementary school and kaivalya is masters. When we are doing masters, obviously we cannot go back to elementary school to pursue our studies. The journey from sālokya to kaivalya will have many many hurdles, and the powerful hurdle is our inability to move away from dualism to non-dualism. Through dualism, one can become a great devotee; but he cannot attain liberation. Liberation can happen only through non-dualistic mind. We have to also remember that without studying in elementary school, we cannot do masters. Dualism acts as foundation for our spiritual path, but this does not give liberation.

Hello Sir,I came through a news today where 30 million slaves are there in world with nearly 50% in india.http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/30-million-people-are-slaves-half-in-india-survey-433389?pfrom=home-indiaAs a country where majority are Hindus, why people are being treated badly?I suppose majority of them are Hindus.Why Common Hindu people are doing so much sin.Is this due to Kali age?
