Guest guest Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 At that very moment the obession that the young man had had for modern, western, scientific methods methods completely vanished. He understood that truth cannot be known through its methods. Bhagavan then concluded by saying, "Only after knowing the truth of oneself can one know the truth of the world." Then he briefly explained the path of vichara, following which one can know oneself. One should see what the "I" is like when there is no association with the body. In deep sleep we have no thoughts. While remaining awake, we should look at ourselves and remain in the [thoughtless] state that exists during sleep. But since this waking state will not be like our present waking state, it is not possible to compare it to anything else. ................. ....to be continued taken from The Mountain Path, Deepam 2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
