" A mere Witness"

-

1. When ignorance and its effects are removed forever by the holy
initiation  of the Teacher  and the seeker attains real
Knowledge, his mind will be firmly established in its own natural
quiescence.

 

 

2. Such a mind can no more fall a victim to delusion.

 
 
 

3. A saint  of this order lives and moves freely in the world
amongst various people and places, rid of all botheration and
troubles.

 

 

 

4. One graced and enlightened by the Teacher like this may
come across youthful persons, both men and women, decked
beautifully with colourful dresses and gold ornaments, looking
exquisitely attractive as if they were pictures painted by the expert
artist.

 

 

5.Though moving and even sporting with them, the true Knower
will at heart be a mere witness of what he sees in front.

 

 

6. Steeped well in his own internal quiet and stability, he will never be put to any
distractions or agitations.

Through Vichara (ratiocination), Manana (deep reflection) and meditation, you will have to make the thoughts settle down and crystallize into a definite shape. Then the philosophical idea will become firm. Through right-thinking, reasoning, introspection and meditation, you will have to clarify your ideas. Then confusion will vanish. The thoughts will get settled and well-grounded. Think clearly. Clarify your ideas again and again. Introspect in solitude. Purify your thoughts to a considerable degree. Silence the thoughts. Do not allow the mind to bubble. Let one thought-wave rise and settle down calmly. Then allow another thought to enter. Drive off all extraneous thoughts that have no connection with the subject-matter you are handling at th...
