Master : A man attains Brahmajnana as soon as his mind is annihilated. With the annihilation of the mind dies the ego, which says "i, I'. One also attains the Knowledge of Brahman by following the path of devotion .....Each ego may be likened to a pot. Suppose there are ten pots filled with water, and the sun is reflected in them. How many suns do you see?
A Devotee : 'Ten reflections. Besides, there certainly exists the real sun.'
Master : 'Suppose you break one pot. How many suns do you see now?'
Devotee : 'Nine reflected suns. But, there certainly exists the real sun.'
Master : 'All right. Suppose you break nine pots. How many suns do you see now?'
Devotee : One reflected sun. But, there certainly exists the real sun.'
Master (to Girish) : 'What remains when the last pot is broken?'
Girish : 'That real sun, sir.'
Master : 'No. What remains cannot be described. What is remains. How will you know there is a real sun unless there is a reflected sun?'
