You cannot have the blessings of the Self alone trough knowledge or 
study.
antahkarana(citta) in anandamayakosá - the subtile prakrti;
Truth= Duhkhameva sarvam vivekinah.
Sananda and asmita samadhi - the samadhis - citta and asmita, the 
cause of the I beginning.
Nirvicara samadhi, the highest consciouness without any thinking.
Then adhyatma prasada- rtambhara trough that light one makes a 
distinction between prakrti and Purusha. If this is stable the yogi 
came free of citta and this brings him to the gate of Supreme Peace.
this state is outside manas and speak.
As I see this the antahkarana stays in the middle, thats the power 
equilibrium for a continue movement.

Antahkarana before the personal [personal self] is absolutely under

the latter and be severed for ever from it, unless indeed we hasten 
to re-establish the communication by a supreme and final effort. It 
is only when we are indissolubly linked with the essence of the 
divine Mind [higher self] that we have to destroy 
Antahkarana."H.P.Blavatsky, The Esoteric Writings, pp. 413-414. 
Krishnamurti's teaching neatly corresponds to the exoteric position 
as presented here by Blavatsky, for he proposes to access directly 
the impersonal universal creative intelligence (Atma) by tossing out 
aspiration (Antahkarana) and denying the existence of the higher self 
(Buddhi-Manas).Another flaw in this pseudo-Advaita which Krishnamurti 
is giving out, is that he addresses the personality, the physical 
plane man [personal self], as if he were the Monad [divine self] or at
> least the Ego [higher self]. Of course the Monad, the Divine 
Spark, is the Absolute Existence-Knowledge-Bliss, and hence eternally 
free, but that doesn't mean that the personality down here, immersed 
in endless-seeming Karmic difficulties, can share its consciousness, 
or even that of the Ego--the link between the personality and the 
Monad." `Sir Thomas,' an English Master, in: His Pupil [Cyril Scott], 
The Initiate in the Dark Cycle (London: Routledge, 1932), pp. 136-139

happened regardless of "Theosophy etc."
