THE MARVELLOUS FLIGHT
Just by hearing the instructions of
Ashtavakra, King Janaka's spiritual illumination
was instantaneous. What he attained bubbled
out of his mouth as a song of illumination,

constitutes yoga (i.e., the path for Self-
Realisation.) The paths to the Infinite are
equally infinite so as to suit the conditioning,
