c7.246

This tradition starts out with intuition (avabodha), not with experience. Its primary essence, or nucleus, is realized through an introverted awareness of the elements and laws that constitute the fact of life and the characteristics of living beings, the interrelation of the many and various data of the life-process. Tradition is not intended to be established through the gathering of facts by sense-experience, nor to be altered through criticism of reason, though observation of minute details and controversy are active in its growth.
