Verse 94

[Guest guest]

Preamble: Swamiji has taught us the path of

meditation till now. From now on, He tells us about

the way of worshipping Guru in the path of Jnaana

Yoga.

 

Verse 94

 

Jneyam sarvam vilaapyeta

vishuddha jnaana yogatah /

Jnaatrutva mapi chinmaatre

naanyah pamtha dviteeyakah //

 

All that reveals itself should be burnt with the

purified Jnaana Yoga. The remainder of one's knowledge

also should be burnt and there is no other way than

this. The paths of worship vary depending on the

desserts of the practicants. That's why Swamiji

teaches this all important path of Jnaana Yoga.

 

When He says Vishuddha Jnaana Yogatah what is meant by

Vishuddha Jnaana? Does it not suffice if it is said

Jnaana'? Are there Vishuddha (all-purified) and

Ashuddha (impure) Jnaanas?

 

Yes, there are. Though the highest knowledge is one,

unless you get over the misunderstandings that accrue

in you in several things and from different angles,

you cannot comprehend that knowledge. So in order to

remove each part of your ignorance, many doses of

knowledge are to be administered. But all these do

not provide realization to you. So they are not

Vishuddha Jnaanas. But they are essential to

you. They eliminate one kind of ignorance in you. So

they are Jnaanas. That's why they are Ashuddha

Jnaanas For example, sciences and studies of

'Puraanaas', etc. There is further explanation

of this thing in the 12th verse.

 

If you make proper use of the Ahsuddha Jnaanas, they

serve as thresholds to take you on to the path of

Vishuddha Jnaana. Those who attain that have easy

fulfillment in the practice of Jnaana Yoga.
