We need a Diamond to cut a Diamond

To know the Indweller (Kshetrajna) you have to acquire the Supreme Knowledge (Jnana). This transcends every other kind of knowledge which is related to the physical and the phenomenal.
No one can understand the Divine Self (Atma) through worldly knowledge. You need a diamond to cut a diamond. To understand the Divine Soul (Atma), you have to acquire Knowledge of the Spirit (Atmajnana).
All the knowledge gathered by the analysis of physical objects or through the senses is only a form of ignorance.
It has three elements: What is known, what is to be known and who is the knower.
These three are aspects of the mind. Only that is Jnana which is known when the mind is eliminated. Atma and Jnana are one, though called by different names. True Awareness is Jnana.
Baba (thought for the day)
 
The indweller is very secret and therefore, it needs supreme knowledge. How do we get that knowledge if it transcends every kind of knowledge related to the physical and phenomenal?
We have to transcend it, every knowledge, whatever we call our business and think on that transcendental level it is all the same and only transcendence, it means there is just a common understanding level, but it is not the higher self, we cannot see that level of transcendence equal to the higher self.

No one can understand the Divine Self (Atma) through worldly knowledge.
 
There is a relationship, the higher self is the level of 'He', the inner husband and we are all considered to be feminine if God is the husband. The higher self is a reflection in our consciousness and Atman reacts, reflects and resounds.
It was there in the dream and as Baba said, he is the man in the dream who comes to wake us, it means he was present as the higher self, a bright light, but that had to be realized inside and was present as reflection in consciousness and as 'I am that' in Baba. It is 'He', but not in the form, but only light, only reflection.
 
Even if I went to him and I would have liked to stay in his presence, but that didn't happen. I was looking for knowledge, transcending all other knowledge. How do we get there?
I began with meditation to get there and the insight level grew, but the understanding was not there.
To understand it right I had to get more experience. There was a soulmate, but no answers, more questions and even with the yogi only more questions came up, but no answers.
After I went to Baba, more insights and he was present inside in dreams and he directed towards the answer.
As he had said in my first interview, it is very difficult to understand and in another interview he said, 'follow the master, fight to the end, finish the game'.
It was like my inner self had just waited for the possibility to go for it and to get empowered in itself instead of always just giving power away, because on that level we couldn't get any answer at all.
Everything coming up inside in consciousness as reflection, if it seemed not clear, if there was an issue and it was not understood, I began to follow that inner master, that inner guide to get an answer and even if outside where obstacles, inside there was a way to get over the obstacles.
If it seemed not possible, the question was, why not possible, often the problem was that it seemed impossible and we had to find a way to deal with it.  
In the beginning it seemed in vain and for a long time it went on like that and still there was always the same response, cut off - and if we don't know the source, we cannot understand it.  
I don't know how often I got that same answer, but some things got slowly better and after questioning it in time a reflection came back, but that reflection had again to be understood as long as there was that reality of being cut off, there was no answer, because if we don't know the source, we cannot understand it.
 
No one can understand the Divine Self (Atma) through worldly knowledge. You need a diamond to cut a diamond. To understand the Divine Soul (Atma), you have to acquire Knowledge of the Spirit (Atmajnana).
 
When Baba left the body I went there guided from inside, just in that time and we had no outer Darshan, but inside he was present.
Once we went down a big well and on the bottom there was only little water left and we went up again and on the way he dropped the body and it fell into dust and we still went up the well and on top there were Krishna and his brother. It was a very beautiful and joyful vision of a Lila, divine play. I guess that was the source.
At least I don't get the insight anymore about being cut off.
 
All the knowledge gathered by the analysis of physical objects or through the senses is only a form of ignorance.
It has three elements: What is known, what is to be known and who is the knower.
These three are aspects of the mind. Only that is Jnana which is known when the mind is eliminated. Atma and Jnana are one, though called by different names. True Awareness is Jnana.
 
The three elements of the mind, first we have all what is known and seen and understood. But to understand the relationship between the reality and the seeing, we couldn't get it together, because the person related with, was just an actor.
It felt like lots of stuff piled up in the inner vision, it was in my meditation as pile of dirty dishes, it had been used and not cleaned up.
What had seemed great the feeling of soul-mate was a sign that the source got lost, instead of being husband, it was only soul-mate and all could be on that level, every spiritual seeker, because it was level soul.
There was no husband, but the feeling of 'marriage', that didn't make sense, how can there be marriage without 'husband'?
That was a sign that the source got lost and during the time in the TM-movement that seemed to be the only present reality of unity, a mind level actually, we didn't know the source anymore and all seemed to be the same, puppets on a string, the hand not there, which should hold them, because he had made puppets out of people and no discrimination, because there was no difference anymore.
It should not be realized, therefore, it was all kept secret under the pretext that we should keep the teaching pure. That was the level of transcendence, but it was not real transcendental, but just a kind of trick controlling the mind of people, taking their power and freedom away, helpless puppets lost and deluded about their spiritual achievements, a deplorable state of self-deception.
But if they all meditated together in big groups, they still could purify consciousness and that was the aim. But we were cut off the source and instead of getting answers, there were only more questions.
On the level of Atmajnana we have to get answers and it felt like lots of visions and the meaning just didn't get clear. I was not just understood by the intellect, in fact, it had to be insight in consciousness to get the right answer. To get it on an insight level, it was very difficult, because we have to be focused on truth to get there. No way we can get it without being focused on truth only, we will not get an answer on that level if we are focused on relative objects or results.
 
All the knowledge gathered by the analysis of physical objects or through the senses is only a form of ignorance.
 
And finally it was about the knower and realizing that he knows, because the I is identified with the body and doesn't know. As long as we are only focused on the 'I', we will also get no answers.
The insight in Atmajnana needs the right focus and to be him we have to be you and I, the level of 'us' to be 'He'.
It needs a relationship to get there, to get to Atmajnana and it needs awareness, because if the relationship is only on sense level, it doesn't work again.
 
These three are aspects of the mind. Only that is Jnana which is known when the mind is eliminated. Atma and Jnana are one, though called by different names. True Awareness is Jnana.
 
It is about the three aspects of the mind. First we get the insight, he is the man who is waking us in the dream that is the insight, it is the knowledge. What is known is that he is waking us and we have to use discrimination, because if we conclude that all is done, we don't know it.
 
It has three elements: What is known, what is to be known and who is the knower.
 
It is not done, we just know that he is the man who comes in our dream to wake us. The question is the next aspect, what is to be known? What has to be realized?
It is not done, it is just the beginning of the realization that - he is the knower and it is about Atmajnana, to realize it we have to inquire the last question is, who is the knower?
And that leads us back to the question, who am I?
 
You need a diamond to cut a diamond. To understand the Divine Soul (Atma), you have to acquire Knowledge of the Spirit (Atmajnana).
