Knowledge (Gyaan)
Chapter 4 Lesson 9

Lord Krishna in Chapter 4 Verse 39 states that One who has mastered his senses and is full of faith, attains to knowledge (Gyaan)
Through knowledge, the truth is revealed to him and in the state of God realization, he attains peace.
Lord Krishna describes knowledge as a great purifier.
Sacrifice (Action) through knowledge is superior to sacrifice performed with material things.

Just like the blazing fire turns fuel into ashes, so the fire of knowledge turns all actions to ashes.
(So why renounce actions? Use knowledge or the power to discriminate…and apne karam karte chalo and dharam nibhaate chalo)’.


Krishna says that knowledge alone would carry you, even though you were the foulest of sinners, like a raft across all your sin.
But how to attain that knowledge?

Lord Krishna in Verse 34 states that if one prostrates at the feet of Illumined Souls, render them service, question them with an open and guileless heart, those wise seers of Truth will instruct one in that knowledge.
