Chapter 13
Appendix:—The Knowable entity, which has been described from the twelfth verse to the seventh verse, is only the entire form of God (`Vasudevah sarvam'). The reason is that in it attributelessformless (twelfth verse), God endowed with attributes—formless (thirteenth verse) and God endowed with attributes and form (sixteenth verse) all the three have been described.
Jnanagamyam:- God can be known by spiritual realization, not by actions and objects etc. There is no other method besides spiritual realization to know Him. A man may know God by any spiritual discipline such as Karmayoga, Jnanayoga, Dhyanayoga etc., in fact He will be known only by Spiritual realization. If He is known by faith, belief, devotion and God's grace etc., then also He is known by Spiritual realization only. The reason is that `knowing' is done by knowledge.
Here the term `jdanagamyam' may also mean that He is attained by twenty virtues which have been mentioned from the seventh verse to the eleventh verse of this chapter.
