Satyavrata is well-known to me, but scholars are always
cowardly. He is a great scholar – there is no doubt about
it. In fact, reading his commentaries on the Upanishads I
was amazed – amazed for the simple reason that a man
who is not enlightened yet can have such a beautiful
grasp of things which are beyond the intellect. He has
been groping in the right direction, but because of his
lack of courage he has not been able to take the jump,
the quantum leap into the unknown.

The scholar lives in the mind, and the mind is always a
coward. It clings to the past, to the familiar, to the
known...
