Guest guest Posted May 28, 2001 Report Share Posted May 28, 2001 In order to be qualified for enquiry into the Self, a man must have a powerful intellect and ability to seize the essential and reject the inessential besides the various qualities enumerated in the scriptures. What are these? He must be able to discriminate between the real and the unreal. He must have an unattached mind. He must ardently desire liberation. And he must be tireless in practice. Only such a one is qualified to enquire into Brahman. The qualifications are enumerated as follows: 1. Discrimination between the real and the unreal. 2. Disinclination to enjoy the fruits of one's actions either in this or in any further life. 3. The six virtues of tranquility, self-control, withdrawal, forbearance, faith and concentration of the Self. 4. Intense yearning for liberation. The aspirant must indeed have these qualities in order to attain abidance in the Self; without them there can be no realisation of the Truth. - Vivekachudamani Auctions - buy the things you want at great prices http://auctions./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
