METHOD<\/h1>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The method of contemplation presumes prior analysis and thoughtful reflection of the practitioner and confidence in the possibility of illumination based on the principle of nonduality. \u00a0 What is call \u201clogical proof\u201d is no proof at all because reasoning is partial and obscured by mental factors; mind is limited and insufficient for establishing \u201cfinal proof\u201d, which can only be found through direct experience. \u00a0This type of contemplative science advocated by Advaitayana Yoga is a nonconceptual understanding that bypasses the mind, once it has been used properly to attain certainty in analytical formats. \u00a0 Beyond the analytical formats, the conceptual basis for further progress, a nonconceptual approach is the necessity. \u00a0 Rational and critical affirmations and negations must serve their purpose but must be swept aside once their utility is exhausted. The initial thrust of learning contemplative science is to notice what the mind keeps doing habitually. \u00a0 We don\u2019t have to direct the mind in its habitual processes; it will do its own thing, it will go along on its own way. \u00a0So we can learn to just watch it, just witness its operations. \u00a0There is no need to correct it. \u00a0There is, however, a need to let the mind rest and remain free and openly receptive. \u00a0This is done by just remaining as a witness. \u00a0When watching what the mind is up to an incredible event occurs: the practitioner feels himself as pure witnessing awareness, pure consciousness, and the mind stops its incessant chattering. \u00a0At this point the Advaitayana Yogi gets a glimpse of original nature. \u00a0This glimpse evolves itself out of obscurations and limitations into self-recognition of its universal omniscience.<\/h2>\n
