Penetrating the psychic sphere can be done in two ways: through applied psychology and through Cosmic Grace. When you attain the quality of macrocosmic omniscience, by His grace, your mind can easily enter the minds of others. Most people can reach the stage of superficial psychic assimilation. With this superficial knowledge pundits debate amongst themselves, scholars write theses, and groups of intellectuals repudiate each others' arguments. But superficial psychic assimilation of external objects through direct perception, inference or authority is very unreliable.In the stage of knowledge wherein one draws closer to the Atman, one enters the psychic stratum. Take the case of the palmyra tree. What group does it belong to? It belongs to the palm group. What are the physical characteristics of the trees of the palm group? What are their psychic wants? By posing such questions you will gain knowledge about the palmyra and its special psychology . You will realise that if the saliva of any animal touches the palmyra tree, its growth gets stunted.Suppose an animal eats the leaves of a palmyra sapling and drops a little of its saliva onto the plant. The speed of its growth will certainly be hampered.
Coconuts and betel nut trees have the same characteristics.When you sit beside a tree you will intuitively understand what the tree is thinking. Of course, the tree won't say anything loudly , but you will be able to communicate with it because your mind has established a link with its mind. So in the course of seeking Atman, one comes in contact with the inner heart, life and the inner mind of all objects, leading to one's knowledge becoming deeper and more confirmed.
The mind derives much contentment from its contact with the inner mind of certain plants, animals and human beings, for through such contact one can render better service to them.One will develop a certain degree of self-satisfaction for one's psychic assimilation will have been of some use. This is also a step in the acquisition of knowledge. But it does have a particular disadvantage. This contact with the inner mind of a tree, animal or human being depends on the freshness or strength of your mind.
If for some reason your mental power has lost the capacity to acquire knowledge through superficial psychic assimilation, your progress towards Atman will also be lost.
People who have practised the sadhana of avidya tantra can develop the power to know the minds of others. But such acquired power is short-lived it will desert them one day. If they misuse even a small amount of this acquired power, they will lose it immediately . Perhaps you have heard of certain instances when this has happened.
Permanent knowledge is not possible through perception, inference, or authority , or by studying books or discourses. The knowledge which one attains by expanding one's mind in the psychic sphere through the practise of sadhana (spiritual practise), which I call upa atmastikarana is also not everlasting, although it does last for a certain period.
Knowledge only becomes permanent when human beings withdraw the entire intuitive element and focus it on their spiritual point of ideation. At that time the entire universe comes within the scope of their mind, and they become omniscient.
