Guest guest Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 Question : Bhagavan , I have read much of the Vedas and the sastras but not Atma jnana [ Self-knowledge] has come to me. Why is this ? Bhagavan : Atma jnana will come to you only if it is there in the sastras [scriptures]. If you see the sastras , sastra jnana [knowledge of the scriptures ] will come. If you see the Self , Self-knowledge will shine. -------------------------------- Living by the Words of Bhagavan David Godman ------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
