Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Excerpt from the Bhagavad Gita, Translated from the Sanskrit by Swami Nikhilananda 4:33. The Knowledge Sacrifice is superior to all material sacrifices, O scorcher of foes; for all works, without exception, culminate in Knowledge. 4:34. Learn it by prostration, by inquiry, and by service. The wise, who have seen the Truth, will teach you that Knowledge. 4:35. When you have known it, O Pandava, you will not again fall into delusion; and through it you will see all beings in your Self and also in Me. 4:36. Even if you are the most sinful of sinners, yet by the raft of Knowledge alone will you be borne over all sin. 4:37. As a fire, well kindled, reduces wood to ashes, so, O Arjuna, does the fire of Knowledge reduce all works to ashes. 4:38. Verily., there exists no purifier on earth equal to Knowledge. A man who becomes perfect in yoga finds it within himself in course of time. 4:39. He who is full of faith and zeal and has subdued his senses obtains Knowledge; having obtained Knowledge, he soon attains the Supreme Peace.
