N2  - The Yoga Vasistha has been a favourite book of spiritual seekers in India these several centuries.ï¿½ Its special appeal lies in its thoroughly rational approach, and in its presentation of Vedanta as a philosophy to bridge the gulf between the secular and the sacred, action and contemplation, in human life, through a comprehensive and lofty spirituality.ï¿½ This monumental scripture is the greatest help to the spiritual awakening and the direct experience of the Truth.ï¿½ This is certain.ï¿½ If this is what you want, you are welcome to the Yoga Vasistha.ï¿½ An oft-recurring expression in this scripture is kakataliya'-a crow alights on the coconut palm tree and at that very moment a ripe coconut falls.ï¿½ The two unrelated events thus seem to be related in time and space, though there is no causal relationship.ï¿½ Such is life.ï¿½ Such is 'creation'.ï¿½ But the mind caught up in its own trap of logic questions why, invents a 'why' and a 'wherefore' to satisfy itself, conveniently ignoring the inconvenient questions that still haunt an intelligent mind.ï¿½ Vasistha demands direct observation of the mind, its motion, its notions, its reasoning, the assumed cause and the projected result, and even the observer, the observed and the observation-and the realisation of their indivisible unity as the infinite consciousness
