Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 Namaste I heard this statement number of times. I think the statement(one must be a jnani oneself in order to understand another jnani), may be true only from the point of view of other than the two jnaanis for if one is a jnani he sees everything as Brahman including ajnanis let alone another jnani. Or are we not suposed to take literal meaning of the statemnt ?
