To know that one is oneself the witness of all things: that is sākṣātkāra of the Ātma. To know that one's own Satya is none other than oneself, to know oneself by oneself, to establish that all is the one Ātma, to know by experience that the jīva is not one thing and God another: all of these are called ‘sākṣātkāra’. This alone is what every man must achieve, and what he must know. One who merely is born, grows up and dies does not by that alone become a man. Unlike beasts, birds and animals, man can come to know the Satya he does not yet know; that is the divine power he has. Such a power of grace must not be wasted.
