Sri Ramana Maharshi
A man is running the course of his samskArAs; when he is taught the Self, the teaching affects his mind and imagination runs riot. He feels helpless before the onrushing power. His experiences are only according to his imagination of the state "I am the Self", whatever he may conceive it to be. SaktipAt alone confers the true and right experience.
When the man is ripe for receiving the instruction and his mind is about to sink into the Heart, the instruction imparted works in a flash and he realizes the Self all right. Otherwise, there is always the struggle.
Mano-nAsa, jnAna, and chittaikagrata (annihilation of the mind, knowledge and one-pointedness) means the same.
