This article is from the Autumn 2020 issue of Self-Knowledge Journal.
Notes of a lecture given by Hari Prasad Shastri
The Yoga of Self-knowledge is the ascension of the mind from its states of heedlessness, passion-struggle, and the balanced equilibrium gained through training, into the higher state of illumination.

One who knows how to change the thoughts, without getting excited, from one state to another, knows the secret of living and happiness.
