Comment to 'The Knower and the Thinker'
  • I listened to a few minutes after the indicated mark. It seems to me that what is referred to as meditation is specifically a more advanced level, that implies sensual withdrawal. I say that because the concept of knowing is addressed or mentioned.

    Knowing comes about as an  exploration of the world by the sensory organs. They are the means by which life is experienced, known and learned. Therefore sensual withdrawal, pratyahara in order for true meditation to begin.

    Then, there can be understanding of one’s self, aside from the intellect that is described in the lecture in different terms. 

    But there are no further instructions or distinctions as far as what I have listened to so far when it comes to the actual breakdown of the elements that constitute the mind as generally understood.
