The Yoga-Vasistha is the greatest help to spiritual awakening, and the direct experience of the Truth. This is certain. If this is what you want, you are welcome to Yoga-Vasistha!

The teaching abounds in repetitions which are, however, not repetitious. If you do not like (or need) repetition, then read just this one verse: This world-appearance is a confusion: even as the blueness of the sky is an optical illusion. I think it is better not to let the mind dwell on it, but to ignore it.

If that is not quite clear to you now, read the book & join the facebook group. The numerous ways in which this truth is revealed will help open your mind. It is wise to read just one page a day.

The teaching is revolutionary. The biased mind does not readily accept it. After the daily reading, meditate. Let the message soak through.

An oft-recurring expression in this scripture is 'kakataliya' -a crow alights on the cocoanut palm tree, and that very moment a ripe cocoanut falls. The two unrelated events thus seem to be related in time and space, though there is no causal relationship. Such is life! Such is 'creation'!

But the mind caught up in its own trap of logic questions ‘why', invents a 'why', and a 'wherefore', to satisfy itself, conveniently ignoring the inconvenient questions that still haunt an intelligent mind.

Vasistha demands direct observation of the mind, its motion, its notions, its reasoning, the assumed cause and the projected result, and even the observer, the observed and the observation - and the realisation of their indivisible unity as the infinite consciousness.

The practical hints on yoga and breath control are unique. He who studies this Teaching with great interest and one-pointedness focus cannot go without attaining Self-Realization or Freedom!
