ज्ञान का मतलब यह है कि तुम सच में एक्सपीरियंस करो। शरीर और इंद्रियों को कंट्रोल करो, सद्गुरु की सेवा करो, सुनो, सोचो, और ध्यान करो। तब तुम्हे पता चलेगा कि जो देख रहा है और जो दिखाई दे रहा है, वो सब में एक है। जैसे हाथी और कपड़ा अलग दिखते हैं पर सब में वोही चेतना है। हर चीज़ में चेतना के बिना कुछ भी नहीं है। यह सीधा अनुभव ही ज्ञान है।
‘Knowledge’—so (it is said)—is the direct realization (sākṣātkāra) as an immediate experience that, by means of restraint of body and senses, devotion to the true guru, and (the disciplines of) hearing, reflection, and deep contemplation, whatever is of the nature of seer and seen is the inner indweller of all, equal in all, unchanging like objects such as pot and cloth, and that in all modifications nothing whatsoever exists apart from consciousness.
