The Two Axes of Self-knowledge

 

Man cannot know himself save through meditation, through a deep dive

into the calm chambers of the heart and a direct glance at the mirror

of life within. To have a comprehensive understanding of what we are,

we must impress on our mind the two facts, viz., the existence of the

Eternal Reality and the radical unity of all manifestations from star

to mineral form, from inanimate nature to organised life. Every human

being is a manifestation of the Lord; and, therefore, it is possible

for everyone to become one with the Infinite. Reflection on the above

truths of essential existence generates faith and conviction. Direct

vision of the Reality supplants all vain arguments. Realisation of

truth makes everything clear and self-explained.
