LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 67

As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji

 

"I shall tell you in full that knowledge together with

its realization, knowing which nothing more remains to

be known here."

 

In this verse the Lord extols the knowledge of his

glory, power and the lordliness in order to attract

the attention of the listener. He says once this

knowledge is grasped nothing else remains here to be

known. He promises to give that knowledge (Jnana)

along with realization (Vijnana.) The knowledge that

we get by reading books can give us only some

intellectual grasp of the subject. But when it is

accompanied by realization, we become enlightened due

to attainment of divine wisdom. Once you attain this

wisdom, then all your doubts disappear, all your

questions vanish and there remains nothing else to be

known in this world. You become omniscient.

 

Jnana (knowledge) in this verse refers to the

knowledge derived from learning scriptural texts and

Vijnana (realization) means direct experience of

Godhead in one’s own heart. This happens when one’s

mind comes in touch with the soul within. Then one

becomes a Brahma Jnani. Brahma Jnana is the source of

all knowledge and when that supreme knowledge is

gained, all other knowledges are fulfilled.
