THE WISDOM OF KNOWING<br><br>
Prajna is a state of mind in which we have complete clarity, complete
certainty. Such an experience is very rare, but at the same time very
precise and penetrating. It can only occur in our state of mind for, say,
once in a hundred moments....Prajna simply means "transcendental
knowledge." Pra is "transcendent," or "supreme,"
jna means "knowledge." So prajna is the wisdom of knowing; it
is to know who you are and what you are.<br><br>
