Religion, Philosophy and Spirituality by Swami Anubhavananda

The state of ignorance in which we suffer the limitations of body, mind & intellect is gained by us, as a result sheer practice. We have also practiced through ages, the acquisition of knowledge in an objective way. This objectifying tendency of our intellect tends to delay our successful entry in to the subjective field of self-enquiry. The master mind Bhagavan Sankaracarya, has helped the student in overcoming this obstacle through his prakarana granthas. He takes, as a pivot, a small erroneous notion of our thinking, & makes us rethink, so that we may recognize our fallacy & reorganize our thinking processes.
