Yoga Vasishta Quote 11-12

Yoga Vasishta Sara – Chapter 1
Sage Vasishta’s Guidance to Lord Rama

Verse 11 and 12

Following the customary method of teaching is only for preserving the tradition. Pure awareness results solely from the clarity of the disciple’s understanding.
The Self cannot be seen just by the help of the sacred texts or the Guru. The Self is seen by the Self alone with the pure intellect.
