c6.s3.21

In accordance with the high aim of this Education, the achievement of the supreme, saving Knowledge, Śaṅkara in his *Viveka-Chūḍāmaṇi* defines *Śravaṇa* as listening to the instruction of the teacher and knowing from him the primary truth that the Self is to be differentiated fron Non-Self appearing in various forms. To identify Self with Non-Self is Ignorance, causing Bondage. Bondage is removed by Knowledge.
