About Manan-Abhyas Goshti
- One has now become an ‘expert’ in the written darshan.
- Adhyayan & Abhyas for ‘manveeyata‘ & ‘Jeevan Jagruti‘ are now the prime priority in your living.
- Manan is when the theoretical/intellectual/logical understanding you have gained shall be translated into inferences, insights and changes in internal & external conduct
- 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.
- Maturity in manan is followed by sakshatkar – this is when/where ‘chetna vikas’ really begins, or happens.
- Maturity in sakshatkar results in avdharna. We have minimal dependency on the books/written words after this stage.
- Avdharna is followed by Bodh and Anubhav
