When A Child Sees A Lake

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Here is today's saying:

 

“A child is wonder-struck when he sees a lake for the first time. 'So much

water!' - he exclaims. When his father says, 'This is nothing. You must see

the ocean. There is so much water in the ocean that we cannot see the other

side of the land.' The child may not believe his father straightaway. But,

after his father explains to him step by step as to how it is true, the child

will believe that it is possible for such a sea to exist. Also, because it is

his own father who is telling him all this, it becomes easy for him to believe.

This is what is meant when we say that 'Asatvaarana' gets destroyed by Paroksha

Jnana.

 

When 'Asatvaavarana' is destroyed, the seeker will overcome illusion and will

start believing that Parabrahma exists."
