SHRUTA ANUMAN PRADNYABHYAM ANYAVISHAY VISHESH ARTHATWAT
THIS IS A SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE , ONE WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE THAT IS
OBTAINED BY LISTENING(TO THE EVOLVED SOULS) OR ONE WHICH IS OBTAINED AS
A CONCLUSION
In this sutra we are told about the same thing that was mentioned in the past . There is a difference between the one kind of 'knowledge' and the other kind of KNOWLEDGE' . I often say that there are different levels of understanding.In my office , my secretary feels that she 'knows' the computer and an IT friend also knows ,and then big shots like Bill Gates also knows the computers.The level of the knowledge is different. But this is still not the knowledge that is referred here. These type of knowledge is obtained or learned by some one telling us about it or teaching it. The learning of sending an e mail or writing this blog are some of the examples. WE CONCLUDE certain things .(ANUMAN).This was discussed before.Then when we read scriptures, or are told by saints certain knowledge , that is called SHRUTA, one that we have 'heard'. The examples could be the description of Hell or Heaven or what happens to us when we die etc.But the knowledge that we get by DOING meditation and achieving Samadhi , is some thing beyond this ordinary knowledge . If some one tells us as to how sugar tastes, we will not understand it till we taste it. One could do comparison and describe , but it will be not exactly same as tasting it . So in this Sutra we are told that the KNOWLEDGE that we get is different than ordinary 'worldly' knowledge or even the information that we get by listening to evolved souls.
