Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 STUDY GROUP on SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTION CHAPTER 2 PRACTICE Abhyasa V30. Q. Does an aspirant (sadhaka) lose anything by not observing the rules of caste and orders of life [asramas]? M. The attainment of jnana is the supreme benefit of all other practices. Irrespective of whatever order of life one may be in, for the one who is constantly practising jnana there are no caste or asrama rules that have to be observed. If such a person follows the rules of caste and asramas, he does so for the good of the world. He does not derive any benefit by observing the rules. Nor does he lose anything by not observing them.
