Sri Vasista
O Rama, what I said till now is for all embodied beings. I shall now tell something special for some people.
For beings embodied in this flurry of mutable world, there are two kinds of spiritual paths.
One is the slow path of following a guru. One grows steadily in this way. This way leads to accomplishment in one or many births.
The second is for those with a mature mind and understanding. For these knowledge accrues very fast like a fruit in the sky.
To establish the fact that knowledge accrues like a fruit in the sky, listen to a story from the ancient times.
O Rama of good character, listen to this story to know how men of great experiences reach the ultimate fruit by wiping out all good and bad destiny.
