Sanskrit: मुख्यान्तरङ्गसाधन
Transliteration: Mukhya-Antaraṇga-Sādhana
Translation: "the principal proximate aid to liberation"
Definition:

1. According to Advaita Vedanta, the main proximate aid to liberation consists in hearing (Śravaṇa), reflection (Manana), and meditation (Nididhyāsana). After a spiritual aspirant becomes qualified (see Sādhana-Catuṣṭaya), they should hear the Upaniṣadic texts from a qualified teacher, reflect on their truth, and contemplate upon their purport.
2. See Śravaṇa, Manana, and Nididhyāsana.
