Jnana and Vijnana
When the mind full of Sattva and perfectly serene is resigned unto Me, - the Atman, and devotee attains righteousness, knowledge, dispassion or renunciation and divine powers of the state of Isvara.
But when the mind runs after the pleasures of the senses, when it is set on anything different from Myself i.e., on the phenomenal objects, when it runs astray with the senses, it becomes very impure with Rajas and gets attached to unreal objects and thus it becomes perverse and the man
develops the very reverse of the above qualities viz., unrighteousness, ignorance, attachment and weakness.
“Whatever promotes devotion to Me is Dharma; realisation of the oneness of Atman is Jnana or wisdom; non-attachment to sense objects or the three Gunas and their products is dispassion; and the state of Isvara is to possess Anima and other powers.”
