Hearing, Reflection, Meditation (Śravaṇa–Manana–Nididhyāsana)

Hear it, reason it out, then meditate it home — knowledge ripening into sight.

Vedānta lays out a three-step method for turning teaching into realization: first śravaṇa, attentively hearing the teaching of the texts from a qualified teacher; then manana, thinking it through and reasoning away one's doubts; and finally nididhyāsana, deep sustained contemplation until the truth is no longer merely understood but directly seen. It is the disciplined backbone of the path of knowledge.
