Evidence

The mechanism is not the cane. The mechanism is philosophical dialogue — father and son in conversation, the father guiding through illustration and question, the son arriving at realization through his own intellectual-spiritual engagement. No rod. No cane. No correction. Only tat tvam asi — the recognition that the self and the ultimate reality are one. — , The Rod and the Child, 3782
