the ignorance goes away only through
knowledge and what kind of knowledge the
negative knowledge the knowledge that
chisels away the hard stone of ignorance
that is covering you like a grave like a
coffin you need negative knowledge
negative knowledge is not going to
substitute your beliefs
yes i have never said this this clearly
actually very interesting that you
brought this up because yesterday i was
writing about knowledge on the our new
project the wiki and i have given many
classifications of knowledge there like
in the video you get only one or two
probably but that
limit is now lifted in the wiki i can go
and add the detail and there are
probably 10 or 20 kinds of
classifications of knowledge
if you are in the west you will not know
this we know only here in the eastern
philosophies and one of the
classification is positive knowledge and
negative knowledge and in non-dualism
the positive knowledge is a no-no it is
banned it is never given except as a
medicine
you are not supposed to convert the
person into another belief system you
are supposed to destroy the ignorance
and that is done using the negative
knowledge
you realize that whatever i thought was
wrong this is the negative knowledge
actually it is very interesting because
you see i have said that the evidence is
evidence on the path of knowledge is
the direct experience and logic and have
kicked out everything else but it seems
that the ancient people were kind of
more intelligent
we think that oh i've done a great thing
kicking out all other evidence
but i always find that the ancients were
kind of 1000 steps ahead of us so they
have been they had included a kind of
evidence there which we don't usually
include and that is called
non-availability they said this is going
to be the evidence also
and now you can understand why
because
non-availability
imparts negative knowledge it is kind of
very difficult to understand at first
you will say what he is talking about
what is non-availability what is
negative knowledge why don't i have
negative knowledge i don't want negative
knowledge i want only something good
you see the words are very confusing if
it is not available how can be good for
me if it is negative how can it make me
happy these are thoughts of a totally
ignorant mind these are thoughts of
somebody who is who's not even walking
on any path especially the path of
knowledge once you walk on this once you
get a taste of it once you see that
every day the guru cuts you down he
snatches something from you he robs you
of something every day this will happen
then you will realize the value of
negative knowledge then you will know
the real meaning of what it means to be
free from ignorance
nothing will be given to you
no knowledge will be received if you
talk to a guru and how is that
beneficial you will say remember you are
going home remember that you are whole
and complete and pure and eternal
already why do you need knowledge for
what
she is asking why is this happening if
this is not happening you should be
worried if your questions are not going
away if you find yourself in the trap of
new beliefs you you all know what what
is the how to identify beliefs they do
not have any support
there is no foundation if you find
yourself like in a net of words and
words and words there is nothing there
except words then you are in a very bad
situation
now i'm not saying that you know the
other parts are not effective they are
effective but they will not take you to
the last step only negative knowledge
will
simply indirectly without any effort
painlessly it will free you from all the
ignorance
so the desire to know
is actually ignorance
what you want is desire to not know what
you want is negative knowledge
not knowing is my true nature
why isn't that because my nature is
being
my nature is pure emptiness if there is
something to know there then it is an
impurity right if there is knowledge it
is an impurity if there is ignorance it
is an impurity i need to be completely
empty i need to be just i need to be
that's all
being is my nature not knowing there is
nothing to know in me as long as there
is ignorance there is suffering and as
long as there is positive knowledge
there is suffering
so your ignorance will be gradually
refined less and less and less of it and
then one day there remains nothing and
if you force yourself to ask a question
like why there is nothing why why my
nature is like this and so on why there
is only emptiness and so you will find
that there are no positive answers
you will be asked to surrender now
surrender your intellect is it is
running on
neutral like a car you know the car
engine runs on neutral what does it do
simply makes noise the car is standing
there it's not going anywhere and you're
pushing the accelerator and it's running
on neutral simply heats up the engine
and simply makes noise
there is nothing to know let your
intellect rest for a while in this not
knowing and you will understand the true
meaning of bliss
okay there is a comment from vidya then
i'll go back to the question on pain if
we can explain this way knowledge is a
noun as per the common parlance all we
know in this world is about the
knowledge of an object but in the direct
path there is no knowledge no concrete
noun but pure knowing happens if one may
say seeing things as it is is this
understanding right
yes you're absolutely right what has
happened is
we don't have a word for knowledge
really all the words they point to
ignorance so in english for example when
i say knowledge it is always positive
knowledge
i know what this object is i know what
is this color i know what is function
i know how much it costs and i know how
big it makes me look people respect me
because i have the shiny object don't
you see my stuff
this is knowledge and it is complete
garbage in english the word knowledge
stands for
knowing the illusion and assuming it as
true that is very unfortunate
there is no word in english but
if you ask me
the sanskrit word is much better which
is gone and
if you if you take a look at it it is a
it is a negative word actually
you can say that on the path of
knowledge the word gyan stands for
knowing how it is not
knowing the reality behind it
there is a negative meaning here because
whole of it stands on negative knowledge
actually there is a word for it but i
don't remember right now if anybody
knows let me know there is a word for
positive knowledge in sanskrit i am
forgetting about it and whenever i use
gyan it will be like
seeing
how things are not the way i thought
they are that will be the knowledge
but unfortunately in english the
meaning is exactly reversed like she
said it is always an objective knowledge
knowledge of an object will be positive
knowledge and we all know what it is it
is complete
garbage for example you can say the
self-realization is
actually negative knowledge it is a
realization that there is no i there is
no individual
people want self-realization so that
they can know what is i what is me who
is me who am i
actually it takes away the i
that is what i am going to call as the
gun art mcgann knowing what i am what is
that is equal to not knowing anything
about the eye the eye has been cleared
it's gone
so it is amazing it is the more you
dive into the path of knowledge the more
you will like fall in love with it
there is nothing like this in this whole
universe
when i say no other path will give you
this thing this realization yes because
they are based on positive knowledge
some somewhere there is positivity there
and we should not confuse the words
positive and negative by their usual
meaning negative is not bad and positive
is not good you see negative knowledge
is simply less ignorance positive
knowledge is which means more ignorance
it is very interesting
most of the um qualities that we like
impose on the self or on the emptiness
you will find they are all negative non
local non-temporal non-causal everything
has a non in front of it even the bliss
is a negative word why bliss is an
absence of pleasure and pain happiness
and sadness
it is an absence bliss is not a positive
word
now i am very careful when i use these
things because you will never find me
using this because i know people are
going to misunderstand me look you need
to attain the bliss which is the
complete absence of everything and
nobody will want the bliss
nobody wants that bliss
they want something which they can hold
on to
everybody is afraid of letting go of the
i i want the self-realization with the i
not without the i and i want the bliss
with the ego present there i want the
immortality with the body present there
it is like stupid thoughts
you want a perishable thing with
immortality how is that possible
you want bliss with all the mental
activity how is that possible
you want to abide in the self with an
ego you want to become whole and
complete while remaining the individual
how is it possible
and so they never progress
surrender all these beliefs surrender
all this accumulation and wanting and
clinging and you will like progress
backwards you will
come back home
your nature is very pure there's nothing
there to hold on to
as soon as you hold on to something it
is a sign of ignorance and knowledge is
one such thing let go of knowledge it is
complete garbage
it will only give you a headache there's
nothing to know here
so obviously these teachings are not for
newcomers they should go for knowledge
