Self - knowledge : Is it knowledge or experience ?
Gita describes the way a person who knows self, behaves. I have a
feeling though that someone might be able to behave like one who knows,
but has not really realized his self. Thinking on this, I have been
pondering whether state of self-knowledge can be attained by reading
the scriptures only? Can one get self-knowledge without resorting to
a guru?
Goswami Tulsidas is of the opinion that no-one can know himself
without a guru? In that case self-knowledge is an experience? How
would one know in that case whether a Guru is genuine or not without
being fooled for a long time?
