The intellectual mind in the adolescent soul is complicated, and he sees the physical world as his only reality. The subsuperconscious mind in the mys\u00adtically inclined soul well perfected in kriy\u0101 longs for realization of \u015aiva\u2019s two perfections, Satchid\u0101nanda and Para\u00ad\u015biva. Through yoga he bursts in\u00adto the super\u00adcon\u00adscious mind, experiencing bliss, all-knowingness and perfect silence. It is when the yog\u012b\u2019s in\u00adtellect is shattered that he soars into Para\u015biva and comes out a j\u00f1\u0101n\u012b. Each time he enters that unspeakable nirvi\u00adkalpa sam\u0101dhi, he returns to consciousness more and more the knower. He is the liberated one, the j\u012bvanmukta, the epitome of kaivalya\u2014perfect freedom\u2014farseeing, filled with light, filled with love. One does not become a j\u00f1\u0101n\u012b simply by reading and understanding philosophy. The state of j\u00f1\u0101na lies in the realm of intuition, beyond the intellect. The Vedas say, \u201cHaving realized the Self, the \u1e5bishis, perfected souls, satisfied with their knowledge, passion-free, tranquil\u2014those wise beings, having attained the omnipresent on all sides\u2014enter into the All itself.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is the Nature of the J\u00f1\u0101na P\u0101da? \u015aLOKA 40J\u00f1\u0101na is divine wisdom emanating from an enlightened being, a soul in its maturity, immersed in \u015aivaness, the blessed realization of God, while living out earthly karma.
