Stage 6 | Ongoing Manan, Abhyas. – Manan Goshthi |
Content |
|
Intent |
|
About | 1. One has now become an ‘expert’ in the written darshan.
2. Adhyayan & Abhyas for ‘manveeyata‘ & ‘Jeevan Jagruti‘ are now the prime priority in your living. 3. Manan is when the theoretical/intellectual/logical understanding you have gained shall be translated into inferences, insights and changes in internal & external conduct 4. You will need the entire library of originals as material for your manan, especially the section on adhyayan -sankalan and shod-patra by student-practitioners. 5. Maturity in manan is followed by sakshatkar – this is when/where ‘chetna vikas’ really begins, or happens. 6. Maturity in sakshatkar results in avdharna. We have minimal dependency on the books/written words after this stage. 7. Avdharna is followed by Bodh and Anubhav
