The Nature of the Mind :15.1

Jnanam is a means for Self-realization and not merely an intellectual conviction.

Scriptural study may help further Knowledge but by itself it is only in the realm of Maya.

Jnana is not a philosophical creed but an intuitional comprehension of the entire being.

The individual should expand into the Absolute and should live as the Absolute.

Actual living in the Experience of Brahmam, the Divine Being, is what is indicated by true Jnanam.




The eradication of the mental function is not done in a moment like a magical trick.

The attachment of the Jivatma to its finitude has come since aeons.

 A mere intellectual grasping may make one believe in the illusory nature of the world, yet, the illusion does not thereby stop tormenting the individual.

The cessation of Samsaram takes place only through the actualisation of the undying Knowledge and practice of Yoga.

Yoga should be a discipline neglecting no aspect of life.

The physical, mental and spiritual aspects must be touched by every true method of Yoga for Self- realization.

A one-sided development leaves the other sides as they were and Truth-experience becomes impossible.
