Four principles in the path of knowledge.


<We will continue reading the Gita commentary.>


In order to actually walk the path of knowledge, the Lord has proposed several processes. In all of them, the result is the same: the realization of God, who is truth, and the attainment of certain consciousness and bliss. There are many secondary types, but the yoga of knowledge can be divided into four main types. They can be represented by the following principles:(1) Everything is Brahman, and only Brahman exists.(2) All phenomenal existence is an illusion. In reality, nothing exists other than Brahman, which is truth, consciousness, and bliss.(3) Everything that appears is myself – it is me.(4) Everything that appears is illusory and temporary, and is not actual existence. Only I exist, the eternal, conscious self.Among these, the first two refer to the "Tat" (That) in the Vedic formula "Tattvamasi" (Thou art That). The last two refer to the "Tvam" (Thou) in the same sentence.
