SADHANA PAD SUTRA - 26

                                VIVEKA  KHYATIR  AVIPLAVA  HANOPAYAH

 THE  SOLUTION TO SUFFERING (AND  PAIN ) IS DEVELOPMENT OF (UNOBSTRUCTED

                                              WITHOUT DOUBT ) KNOWLEDGE

        In this Sutra we are told that the solution to the suffering is to get the KNOWLEDGE. But there are two more adjectives that are added or needed. One is that the KNOWLEDGE must be there is all the time , and the KNOWLEDGE is not the 'worldly' knowledge. When we refer to the knowledge , we talk about the know;edge in this WORLD. we understand the Physics or Chemistry or computer Science , or astrology or many other things . But these all belong to the NATURE. The science deals with all the various qualities of the NATURE. All the things that we see are related to the Nature . The Spirit or the PURUSHA is independent and has no Qualities or the GUNAS. So the sciences of chemistry, physics and any other science is LEARNING of the laws of the NATURE. And in the Nature there are only two things , one DUALITY and second Relativity. Nothing is ABSOLUTE except Speed of Light. But when this Sutra states that the Knowledge is the solution to end the suffering, it is talking about KNOWLEDGE of the SPIRIT or THE PURUSHA . When one understands that PURUSHA or the SPIRIT is separate from the Nature , our sufferings will end .
        But to have this perception or the understanding when we are in MEDITATION or the SAMADHI status, is not enough . Because when we come out of the SAMADHI, we are back to square one . So the KNOWLEDGE that the PURUSHA is independent observer and all the things that we witness are related to the drama created by the Nature or PRAKRUTI has to be there ALL THE TIME or UNOBSTRUCTED . Then only we will have the end of suffering.
