But conceptual knowledge can never give rise to non- conceptual

knowledge - brahman. However deep conceptual knowledge might be still

it is only an alternate way of the mind working - so it is still

pain. We should be careful not to give more importance to it than it

is worth. We should try to move beyond it after a stage.

 

Meditation should necessarily complement philosophical analysis.

 

Hello Sri Nanda,

It's not really an either or situation. Anything short of realisation

including the Vedas can be represented as merely mayvic or something of the

sort. That goes for bhakti, Bhagavad Gita discussions, satsang of all

kinds, nagasankirtan. Are we to have self-help groups in which the

following scene may be played out:

Hello I'm Ranji

All: Hello Ranji

Ranji: I burn incense. I burn incense everyday. I need to stop. (All

applaud)

 

Best Wishes, Michael
