Guest guest Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 In the beginning one has to be told that he is not the body, because he thinks that he is the body only. Whereas he is the body and all else. The body is only a part. Let him know it, finally. He must first discern consciousness from insentience and be the consciousness only. Later, let him realize that insentience is not apart from consciousness. This is discrimination [viveka] The initial discrimination must persist to the end. It's fruit is Liberation.
