This knowledge cannot be compared with anything except itself just as if one asks the taste of nectar the answer is like nectar and nothing else. Now I shall tell you how to gain that Knowledge. Peace resides in the mind of such a person. Once the Knowledge becomes firm in his mind he attains self-realisation and peace reigns in his mind. He sees peace wherever he casts his glance and duality about this is mine and that is another person s vanishes from his mind.
Death is preferable to such a life.
A person may not have gained knowledge but if he shows even a little interest then there is some hope that he will gain it. But if he does not then he will be surely afflicted by doubts. One who is thus afflicted by doubts can be definitely considered as lost to the happiness in this world as well as the next. A doubting person does not differentiate between truth and falsehood, proper and improper, beneficial and harmful. Therefore there is no greater sin than to doubt.
