How can we get knowledge
The eternal journey is the inner journey of consciousness towards oneness with the divine.
God is within every being and every part of creation. All creatures possess the same divine essence; there is no hierarchy. Humans err by thinking themselves superior, poisoning the world which in turn poisons them. True knowledge comes from within, not from external seeking. Men and women possess equal souls and consciousness; the divine is both mother and father. Knowledge is acquired through Śruti, listening from a master, and Smṛti, committed to memory. This learning is endless, vaster than the Himalayas. The inner practice requires engaging the body and its energy through postures, breath, and meditation on the subtle nerves. Life and knowledge are an eternal flow.
"God is with us, within us. Every tissue in our body is a part of God."
"Knowledge has no end. This is a river; it’s going into the ocean."
