Portrait of Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam

एतज्ज्ञानमिति प्रोक्तमज्ञानं यदतोऽन्यथा
॥ १३-१२॥

jñānārtha-darśanam etaj-jñānaṁ iti
proktam ajñānaṁ yad atonyathā

accepting the importance of self realization, and philosophical search for the absolute truth All these I thus declare to be knowledge and anything contrary to these is ignorance

POWERFUL COGNITION

The moment we understand that we are more powerful than the body-mind, we are liberated from the body and the mind.
