On why, when u understand moksha or mukti, you need to practice in a certain way,as your guru intends. Below, Ramana Maharishi also believes practice is an important stage when you are yet looped in the vicious grip of samskaras:
Unless the samskaras cease to exist, there will always be
doubt and confusion. All efforts are directed to destroying doubt and
confusion. To do so their roots must be cut. Their roots are the
samskaras. These are rendered ineffective by practice as prescribed
by the Guru. The Guru leaves it to the seeker to do this much so that
he might himself find out that there is no ignorance. Hearing the
truth [sravana] is the first stage. If the understanding is not firm one
has to practise reflection [manana] and uninterrupted contemplation
[nididhyasana] on it. These two processes scorch the seeds of
samskaras so that they are rendered ineffective.
