Sh. Atmasiddhi Shaastra Curated
धर्म कोई मान्यता नही | Shrimad Rajchandra Atmasiddhi Shastra Ep#6
April 1, 2023
As human beings, we are natural seekers of knowledge. That is one reason our culture highly regards religious scriptures. But what happens to the knowledge pursued merely for accumulation and self-glorification? Shrimadji says it is Arid Knowledge (Shushk-Gyaan).
Just as practicing mindless rituals does nothing but dig a void of inner dissatisfaction, pursuing arid knowledge of scriptures too keeps us away from meaningful inner experience. The fifth Gatha of Shri Atmasiddhi Shaastra points at this inadequacy of a Shushk-gyaani. They either are strongly opinionated in the wrong direction, or their knowledge has no impact on the agitation they experience due to attachments.
After an elaborate description of a Jad-kriyavadi, Sri Guru in Episode#6 describes the state and conduct of a Shushk-gyaani.
