can you please explain, what does "no room forknowledge" means

to know the truth; burn the books

to see god; smash the murti

to be a true chela; never try to be right

if you see the buddha; kill him

think for yourself; and question authority

the three biggest enemies of spiritual growth are....fear, doubt, and the rational mind

this is the practice of the stupid man who's body is called jatadhar

Dear JC:

 

I am happy to see your query and I am happy that you have already

picked up on the clue I gave from Jyotisa.

 

There is something called Wisdom and there is something called

Knowledge. Wisdom is related to Guru/Jupiter. Knowledge/intellect is

related to Budha/Mercury. You must have heard the saying "Knowledge

speaks, Wisdom listens". What does this mean? This means that real

gyaana only emerges forth only when the kaama is burnt through the

agni of Siva (3rd eye). In other word the sadhak "realizes" the

wisdom that flows out of the Agya/Ajna chakra. It is at this chakra

where the triven sangam of yamuna/ida, ganga/pingala and

saraswati/sushumna take place. In other words mountains become

mountains again, rivers become rivers again, oceans become oceans

again. Yes, Knowledge+Realization is equal to Wisdom. Whatever one

has learnt and one grasps is all borrowed. Is it not? Is something

our very own? Yes, the one that is our very own is symbolic of

Gyaana. In Jyotish Shastra Dhanur and Meenam are related Guru/Wisdom.

Dhanur is Guru Bhava and Meenam is the 12th bhava (4th from 9th) -

house of Gurus. In the house of Gurus viz. Meenam Rasi there can be

no room/space for intellect/knowledge (mercury debilitates there). In

other words the padma blooms from the karmic muck for the first time

accumulated over several lives.

 

Mauna is wisdom.

 

With Best Wishes,

 

Om Tat Sat
