Until the Truth is Known

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Here is today's saying:

 

“ . . . until the truth is known, there will be dissatisfaction. Jnani has the

satisfaction and Ajnani does not have. How do you differentiate between a Jnani

and Ajnani? Both Jnani and Ajnani have body idea. But Jnani knows that he is

NOT the body. A Jnani has transcended the mind. His activitiy is only apparent

and lasts as long as the mind is. There are no vasanas in a Jnani's mind. It

is like the remains of a burnt-out rope. Jnani's mind being barren, it cannot

contain seeds of Karma. Even though he acts, he is actionless. He is not aware

of the body as being apart from the Self (Shiva). Then how can there be Mukti

(liberation) for him? He is beyond duality, beyond both bondage and

liberation."
