When Two Tree Branches Rub Against Each Other

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Here is today's saying:

 

"If such practice is carried out continuously, ultimately, there will be no

Vritti (activity) in the Antahkarana and Chaitanya alone remains. This is the

ultimate Vritti. The knowledge of such an ultimate Vritti is not a Vritti about

Brahman. It is a Vritti which is itself of the nature of Brahman. This is called

as Brahmaakaara Vritti.

 

Consider the example of a forest fire. From where did this fire come? It came

from the two branches of a tree when they rubbed against one another. The fire

which was caused by the branches finally destroys the branches. Similarly, the

special type of thinking - inquiry - will finally annul the thought process

itself."
