LECTURE TWENTY
SYNOPSIS
* When as a result of the painful feeling of duality, one
aspires to perceive conscious reality and to experience freedom, a new chapter in the search for truth opens. This is
called Sāmāyika. * The more we gain self-experience, the more does the
feeling of equality develop. * The more the distance between meditation and selfexperience, the more the flow of thoughts and ideas. The
the distance, the lesser the thoughts and ideas. When there is no distance, the thinking process comes
to an end. * We continuously modify existence. When we become absorbed in this process, we become transformed according
to our ideal. * Ignorance+power=journey towards evil * Knowledge -+ power --journey towards bliss * Four bases of transformation :
* Imagination * Will * Concentration
* Absorption * Two aspects of mind :---
* Restlessness +One-pointedness * Karma body, the biggest spring--the remaining springs.
