A BHAKTA is not a man who ‘thinks’, that is a man whose individuality actively participates in supra-individual knowledge and who consequently is able ‘himself’ to apply his transcendent knowledge to cosmic and human contingencies. In other words the BHAKTA attains and possesses knowledge, not in an intellectual, but in an ontological manner. On the individual level the thinking of a BHAKTA reduces itself to a sort of ‘planetary system’ of his personal realization; otherwise it is the whole tradition, that from which the BHAKTA sprang, which ‘thinks’ for him; it is that tradition which settles all problems situated outside the ‘system’ in question.
