Dual and Non-Dual Knowledge – Tripura Rahasya
05.06.2026

Dual knowledge relates to worship and non-dual knowledge to realisation. Dual knowledge is manifold because it depends on the concept of duality and manifests as worship, prayer, incarnation, meditation etc., all of which are due to nothing more than mental imagery.
Worship of Abstract Intelligence in a concrete form is not only useful but essential for non-dual realisation. For how can one be made fit for it without Her benediction.
The Self is Abstract Intelligence free from thought. The knower, knowledge and the known are not real as different entities. When differentiation among them is destroyed, their true nature is evident in the resulting non-dual consciousness, which is also the state of emancipation.
Intense devotion signifies mental abstraction as the devotee loses himself in the desired object. It will mean emancipation itself. For such unwavering devotion must certainly succeed and success is only a question of time – which may be days, months, years, or even the next birth, according as the predispositions are light or dense.

​Evil Propensities -

The intellect is ordinarily befouled by evil propensities and so nothing good flourishes there.
  1. First propensity - Want of faith has its root in unfavourable logic. Give it up and take to approved logic as found in holy books and expounded by a Guru. Then enlightenment becomes possible and faith results. Thus ends the first evil propensity.
  2. The second propensity, namely desire, prevents the intellect from following the right pursuit. For the mind engrossed in desire cannot engage in a spiritual pursuit. As soon as the thought of pleasure arises, it must be dismissed by the willpower developed by dispassion.  In this way, second evil propensity is overcome.
  3. The third propensity – Dullness resulting from innumerable wicked actions in preceding births, is the worst of the series and hardest to overcome by one’s own efforts. Concentration of mind and understanding of truth are not possible when dullness prevails. There is no remedy for it other than worship of the Goddess oof the Self (adoration, prayer, meditation, etc.). The chief requisite is one-pointed devotion to God.
Stages of Jnanis –
  1. The Jnanis of the lowest order behave like ignorant men in their care for their bodies. They have not attained Sahaja Samadhi (Samadhi unbroken even while engaged in work, etc.). They are in the state of Perfection only when they are calm or composed. They have as much of the body-sense and enjoy pleasure and pain with as much zest as any animal, when they are not engaged in the investigation of the Self. Though they are not always inquiring into the Self, yet there are periods of the perfect state owing to their previous practice and experience.
  2. The middle class of jnanis are never deluded by their bodies. Delusion is the false identification of ‘I’ with the body; this never arises with the more advanced Jnanis, namely the middle class among them. Identification of the Self with the body is attachment to the body. The middle class of Jnanis are never attached to the body. Their minds are mostly dead because of their long practice and continued austerities. They are not engaged in work because they are entirely self-possessed. Just as man moves or speaks in sleep without being aware of his actions, so also this class of yogi does enough work for his minimum requirements without being aware of it. Having transcended the world, he behaves like a drunken man. But he is aware of his actions. His body continues on account of his vasanas (predispositions) and destiny.
  3. Jnanis of the highest class do not identify the Self with the body but remain completely detached from their bodies. Their work is like that of a charioteer driving the chariot, who never identifies himself with the chariot. Similarly, the Jnani is not the body nor the actor; he is pure intelligence. Though entirely detached within from action, to the spectator he seems to be active. He performs his part like an actor in a drama, and plays with the world as a parent does with a child.
Of the two higher orders of Jnanis, the one remains steadfast through his sustained practice and control of mind, whereas the other is so on account of the force of his discrimination and investigation. The difference lies in the merits of their intellect.

Experience of Pleasure and Pain –

Pleasure and pain are apparent to the least among the Sages, but do not leave any mark on them as they do on the ignorant.
  1. The ignorant anticipate pleasure and pain before the enjoyment, recapitulate them after enjoyment, and reflect on them, so they leave a strong impression on their minds. The ignorant are not aware of the pure Self; they see it as always blemished and hence they believe in the reality of objective knowledge. they are therefore affected by the pleasures and pains of life.
  2. Jnanis of the lowest order also enjoy pleasure and pain like the ignorant, but their remembrance of such experiences is frequently broken up by intervals of realisation. Thus, worldly experiences do not leave an impression on their minds. As for the lowest order of Jnanis, these realise the Self off and on, spells of ignorance overtake them whenever they overcome by their predispositions. Then they look upon the body as the Self and the world as real. They are often able to override the old tendencies, and thus there is an ongoing struggle between wisdom and fights against ignorance until falsity is thoroughly blown out, and truth prevails. Therefore, Jnana is indivisible.
  3. Jnanis of middle class, accustomed to control their minds by long-continued austerities, keep their minds in check even while experiencing pleasure and pain, and thus their response to the world is as indistinct as that of a man in sleep, to a gentle breeze playing on him or an ant creeping over his body. Forgetfulness of the Self never overtakes a middle-class Jnani and wrong knowledge never possesses him. However, of his own accord, he brings out some predispositions from his own depths in order to maintain his body according to Parabdha. This is the conduct of an accomplished Jnani. The middle order Jnani is fond of samadhi and voluntarily abides in it. There is accordingly a lapse, however slight, when he is engaged in worldly affairs, or even in the maintenance of his body.
  4. Jnanis of the highest order are left untouched, for they always remain as the burnt skeleton of a cloth (retaining its old shape but useless) after their realisation. Just as an actor is not really affected by the passions which he displays on the stage, so also their Jnanis, always of his perfection, is not affected by seeming pleasures and pains which he regards as a mere illusion, like the horns of a hare.  The accomplished Jnani is always un-forgetful of the Self and picks out his own predispositions according to own choice. The highest Jnani makes no difference between samadhi and worldly transactions. He never finds anything apart from the Self and so there is no lapse for him. Jnanis of the highest order involuntarily and naturally abides in samadhi, and any lapse is impossible for him under any circumstances.
The jnani of the middle order or the highest order has no tinge of karma left in him because he is in perfection and does not perceive anything apart from the Self.

Accomplishment of Wisdom –

Of all the requisites for wisdom, Divine Grace is the most important. He, who has entirely surrendered himself to the Goddess of his own Self is sure to gain wisdom readily.
An intense devotee, though endowed with only a little discipline of other kinds (e.g. dispassion), can readily understand the truth though only theoretically, and expound it to others. Bhakti yoga (the way of devotion) is the best of all and excels all else.
Dispassion, meditation, prayer etc. remain natural to the sage whose mind is pure and unsophisticated. He whom honour and insult, loss or gain, cannot affect, is the sage of the best class. Contentment and purity abide in him. Even the most critical situations do not disturb his peace of mind.

Self-Realisation & Perfect Sage -

Self-realisation differs from all accomplishments in that the fear of death is destroyed once for all.
He who, though engaged in work, does not look upon anything as non-self, is the perfect sage. He who, even while doing his work remains as if asleep, is perfect sage. He who is not influenced by happiness or misery, by pleasure or pain, by desires, doubts or fear, is a perfect Sage. He who realises pleasure, pain and every other phenomenon to be in and of the self, is a perfect sage. He who feels himself pervading all – be they ignorant or emancipated – is a perfect Sage. He who, knowing the trammels of bondage, does not seek release from them and remains in peace, is a perfect sage.
