One Will Have to Know Oneself is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti. This discourse is the eleventh chapter of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 34.[1]

Synopsis

Svadeham arańiḿ krtvá prańavaḿcottarárańim; Jiṋánanirmathanábhyásat páshaḿ dahati pańd́itah. [A spiritual aspirant burns the ropes of his páshas (fetters, bondages) by using his body as the arańi (lower piece of wood) and mantra as the uttarárańi (upper piece of wood – the two pieces are rubbed together). An aspirant churns spiritual and mundane knowledge to separate the spiritual from the mundane (as churning separates butter from buttermilk).]

Shrii Shrii Anandamurti

Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that a spiritual aspirant uses his body as a large piece of wood and his mantra as a smaller piece of wood used in creating fire by friction. Anandamurti then elaborates on this metaphor and explains that every entity has its own unique rhythm and when it comes in contact with the incantative rhythm of His Ista mantra, He will finally reach the Supreme abode termed self realization. Anandamurti goes on explaining that through this friction described above, the mind becomes purified and a person realizes that He is Brahma. Such a man is called a Pandita.[1]
