ADVENTURES IN ADVAITA VEDANTA...

Adventures in Advaita Vedanta, the philosophy and science of spirit. We are one you and I; are you curious why?..


Two Knowings part one


Hari OM
Application - that is what 'Workings-days' are about!

For as long as it takes to complete it, we are going to be using today as well as Text-days to fulfil study of the SadaachaaraH. If you have not been following that text, then use the relevant label to go back to the beginning. It is, as might be surmised from its title, about how to go about saadhana, but also explores more of the Sanskrit philosophy; it is therefore both a 'working' as well as a 'thinking' text.

Moving along, the text now takes up the semantics of "jnaanam" and "vijnaanam" in order to define and clarify concepts. This also highlights that there are different ways to contemplate on the Truth and what is Realisation.

As this is more of an annotative approach, seven verses are given at once for study in Swamini Vimilananda's version of the text. For ease, the relevant pages of Sanskrit, transliteration and translation are being presented to you today in photographic form. Do ponder upon the verses and we shall pick up a closer study of them tomorrow.
