Guest guest Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 1. What is the state of attainment of knowledge? It is the firm and effortless abidance in the Self in which the mind which has become one with the Self does not subsequently emerge again at any time. That is, just as everyone usually and naturally has the idea "I am not a goat nor a cow nor an other animal but a man," when he thinks of his body, so also when he has the idea "I am not the principles (tattvas) beginning with the body and ending with sound (nada), but the Self which is existence, consciousness, and bliss," the innate self-consciousness (atma prajna), he is said to have attained firm knowledge.
