Ramana Maharishi also had similar comments on what he called “Manolaya” (suspension of the mind) as opposed “manonasha” (cessation of the mind). It is widely accepted that samadhi (nirvikalpa) is temporary and while it can be a very important step in the process, it is not permanent or complete. it depends on what you mean by jnana Tattva jnana is the direct realization of our true nature, but its effect is permanent in the intellect/mind. The mind is permanently changed. Then you have more exposure to him than I do. I only went by what I read in the short aphorisms he posted. I don’t think he’s saying anything different. But that’s just how I processed his words. Someone else might process it differently.

That’s a wrong question imho. It is not that awareness wants this or that. The appearances are phenomena that arise in awareness due to ignorance. From awareness point of view nothing has ever happened/is happening/will ever happen. But it is a bit hard for people to accept, so they are eased into the pool (so to speak)

What I take away from his aphorism is that the “mind” which “disowns” its true nature (due to ignorance), cannot perform actions to realize it. The realization happens in the mind, through subtle intelligence/discerning intellect (sukshma buddhi).

But really, there is nothing apart from awareness, things just appear to be separate. Like how in a dream the dreamer’s mind splits into subject (witness) and objects (dream world). There is no “world” apart from the dreamer’s mind. The waking reality is also like that

In Vedanta it is called “para” (absolute) and “apara” (local) jnana (knowledge). The deeper (para) knowledge is pure awareness (chit) itself. The local (apara) knowledge is knowledge of things. The pure awareness is reflected in the mind leading to local knowledge. The way to know this awareness is simply by being aware. But it is so subtle, and the mind is so used to grasping at objects that this awareness is missed (but it’s always present, hidden in plain sight. That’s why the wise say “one is not even a hair’s breadth apart from Dao/Brahman”… But really, there is nothing apart from awareness, things just appear to be separate. Like how in a dream the dreamer’s mind splits into subject (witness) and objects (dream world). There is no “world” apart from the dreamer’s mind. The waking reality is also like that.

Knowing (verb) implies knowledge being acquired. That is likely genetic memory. Most of the animal kingdom relies on it. Humans are perhaps the only exception beyond a certain age Intuition. What does this have to do with the OP?
