	Living with Siva, Chapter 8: Scriptural Study And Cognition
		Siddhanta shravana is a discipline, an ancient traditional practice in satguru lineages, to carry the devotee from one chakra in consciousness to another.
		Siddhanta shravana literally means "scriptural listening." It is one thing to read the Vedas, Upanishads and Yoga Sutras, but it is quite another to hear their teachings from one who knows, because it is through hearing that the transmission of subtle knowledge occurs, from knower to seeker.
		What harnesses the intellect is siddhanta shravana, study of the teachings and listening to the wise of an established, traditional lineage that has stood the test of time, ravage and all attempts at conversion.

	Lessons in Vedanta - 43 - Aug 1999
		The process of grasping the established purport of all Vedantic sentences is called 'Shravana'.
		The process of repeatedly contemplating what is grasped by Shravana with the help of examples and techniques is called 'Manana'.
		Understanding the real purport with the help of the Shadvidha Lingas, grasping it (Shravana), contemplating upon it (Manana) and incessantly revising it (Nididhyasa) – and thereby becoming Brahmavidvarishtha is the real fruit of discussing about Atma and Anatma.

		However, Shravana was not able to have good meditation because sometimes his mind was too tight and at other times too relaxed.
		When this case was presented to the Buddha, he asked Shravana: "Sir, when you were living at home, were you skilled in playing the guitar?" Shravana answered, "Yes, very much so." The Buddha asked, "Does the sound of the guitar come from tight strings or loose strings?" Shravana answered, "Neither, sir.
		It is produced by balanced strings." Then the Buddha said, "That is what your mind needs, too." Then, by meditating in a balanced manner, Shravana reached the fruition of his training.
