What do you mean by Triputi?

Triputi means the knowledge of three items. 1) The Lord who is the goal 2) The path to please the Lord and 3) yourself. The true knowledge of these three items is 1) you should know that the Lord for a human being is always available in the human form and you can get complete benefit from such human form of the Lord only. You must also know the knowledge the characteristics of the Lord in human form to identify Him (Manusheem Tanumaasritam – Gita). 2) You must know that the only path to please the Lord is sacrifice of all the worldly bonds. The root bond of all these bonds is only the bond with money, which is called ‘Dhaneshana’ since if money is not present the entire bonds will break (Dhanena Tyagenaike). 3) You must know that you are the soul, which is a bundle of the three qualities mixed in different proportions (Naanyam Gunebhyah Kartaram – Gita). You must differentiate yourself from the Lord since the Lord is beyond the qualities (Gunaateethah – Gita). You are the colored shirt and the Lord is the person who is wearing the colored shirt.

You can learn about the importance of human form from Hanuman who recognized and worshipped Rama and from Gopikas who recognized and worshipped Krishna. Both are the human incarnations present during their lifetime. They never worshipped statues of the previous incarnations or the forms of the Lord, which are in the upper world like Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Similarly you must learn the path of sacrifice from Sakthuprastha who sacrificed even little flour, which he was going to eat after fasting for the last ten days. You must also learn that you are only a soul but not the Lord from Hanuman. You are nothing before Hanuman in knowledge, devotion and power. When such greatest Hero in this world is surrendering to the Lord saying that he is the servant of the Lord (Daasoham Kousalendrasya), you are after all a small baby monkey before Him. Therefore you should know that you are not the Lord and surrender to the Lord as a humble servant. In fact you should become the servant of His servant (Hanuman) before you become a direct servant of the Lord (Daasasya Dasah).
