Definition:
- A proximate aid, according to Advaita, for liberation. An aspirant should hear the Upanisadic texts from a qualified teacher. This will remove any doubts one has as to the nature of the means of valid knowledge (Pramāṇa) to know the Absolute (Brahman)—i.e., Śruti. It is the stage of formal study.
- See Mukhya-Antaraṅga-Sādhana.
