Question:
You have told Self is the knowing principle and NOT the knower. But the knower, known and knowing principle merge right ?
Sri Prabhuji:
We have two scenarios. 1) In ignorance I consider myself as knower (jnata), karta, bhokta. To teach discrimination between knower (jnata) and awareness we say SELF is knowing principle. Knower has knowledge and ignorance while SELF is free from limitation of knower.
2) When SELF is realized – knower, known, knowledge is one reality where nothing is to be known.
