Only one whose doubts have disappeared can attain knowledge.

Only one whose doubts have disappeared can attain knowledge.

Usually we think it is the other way around. One who receives knowledge is relieved from all his doubts. Here, there are two things. First, one who gains the knowledge is relieved from all doubts – this applies to the material world; it is limited. The other is, one who is freed from doubts; meaning one whose Prana (subtle life force or energy) is very high, becomes capable of understanding knowledge at a deeper level. Such a person is one who truly knows.

We often think that our doubts can be resolved by questions and answers, isn’t it? But it is actually not so. Answering one question leads to ten other questions in the mind. One pair of question and answer gives rise to ten other new questions, and then this chain of questions and answers continues endlessly, but the doubt does not go away. The very reason we ask questions is to clear our doubts.

Doubt means that your Prana has not blossomed fully; it has not reached its peak. The Prana has gotten stuck somewhere in the body.

When you are full of Prana, all doubts automatically disappear. That is why when you are very happy, there are no doubts in your mind. When you are deeply in love, no doubts arise in you.

Om Namah Shivay.
