The third benefit is attainment of wisdom - viveka cetana. A practitioner, on attaining wisdom develops a faculty of discernment. He acquires the ability to distinguish between
- the whey and the butter
- the oil and the oil-cake
- the body and the soul
- the conscious and the material
- the transient and the eternal
By an actual experience, he knows the separate existence of the soul independent of the body. This benefit is a great achievement indeed.
