Module - B

By Raja Subramaniyan

(a) Understand the relationship between the knowledge and the benefits of the knowledge.
(b) Understand how this knowledge will make the life joyful.

Notes to the teacher: (Ref 2.98 to 2.109 of the original text)

After gaining the knowledge, the world will be different in one of its four features.

Feature 1 - Experience - There will be no change in how we gain knowledge through our five senses. Our experience will be same. We will continue to get pain and pleasure, blame and fame, poverty and prosperity even after gaining the knowledge.

Feature 2 - Function - There will be no change how the objects in the world respond to us. Fire will continue to be hot even after gaining knowledge.

Feature 3 - Division - The world will continue to consist of different objects, class of objects with parts. We will see two human beings are different and they have hands and legs and are different from trees even after gaining the knowledge.

Feature 4 - Status - There WILL BE a difference with respect to the status of the world after gaining the knowledge. It will become a lower order of reality compared to our real status.

Just as the dream lion, cannot hurt our real body, the real lion cannot hurt our real self. This knowledge enables us to treat the life as a dream.

Since the knowledge from the Scriptures, enable us to shift our focus to a higher order of reality, life will become Joyful.
