The intellect is the discriminator, which makes it possible for us to make decisions -- buddhi (intellect) throws light on the mind to make decisions possible (and thank God, it enables Prez Bush to say "I am the decider"). I believe that MMY has said that the only required understanding to gain CC is to understand "witnessing" (the feeling that grows when increasing awareness makes one feel that one is looking at the body from a distance) -- otherwise, one would feel reluctant to go on meditating, without the intellectual understanding of an experience that could seem strange. To gain Brahman Consciousness, I believe that MMY has said that reading the Brahma Sutras http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahma_Sutras helps to culture the gaining of BC. Although somebody at any level of consciousness might find some value in reading the Brahma Sutras, MMY says that they have no relative meaning (although they may be found to have some relative value) -- the Brahma Sutras explication of the absolute value of life helps those in God Consciousness to enter the seventh state of consciousness, BC. http://geocities.com/bbrigante/sevenstates.html To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
