Having studied the scriptures, an intelligent student intent on acquiring knowledge and wisdom should discard the scriptures altogether just like one who seeks rice discards the husk.While the cows are of different colours, milk is of the same colour. The wise one sees Knowledge like milk while the many-branched scriptures indeed as cows.Just like the butter is hidden in the milk, awareness resides in all beings. To discover That, one should constantly churn with the mind as the churning rod.Please support this podcast by pressing the follow button and support Chinmaya Mission Mumbai projects taken up by Swami Swatmananda, through generous donations.

Maya has two powers - Veiling and projecting.  On the destruction of the veiling or ignorance, one sees the Self alone.  This Self is beyond OM. This state of Knowledge is called Para Vidya or Higher State of Consciousness. All other knowledge is only Apara Vidya or Lower Knowledge as compared to the Higher State.Please support this podcast by pressing the follow button and support Chinmaya Mission Mumbai projects taken up by Swami Swatmananda, through generous donations.
