“Arsha Vidya, the vision of the Rishis, is a beautiful vision. It cannot be bettered by anybody because the Rishis have the last word about you. Others can say ‘you are a part of the total’, ‘you are little’, ‘you are mortal’, etc. But the Rishis say that ‘you are the whole’ and nobody can say more than that. Who is going to improve upon it? Who can say more than that? They have the last word about you, and they say that ‘you are the last word in the creation!’ And so, this vision. Arsha Vidya can never be bettered. It is also not available for any kind of an opinion, and so it cannot be falsified. The whole is not subject to time etc., and hence it does not come under any kind of contention. And that is why it can be handed down by a teacher to a student in its entirety.”
