Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 15
Knowledge of a subject is called 'Juana. All the mundane, as well as, spiritual knowledge, is merely a reflection of God, Who is an embodiment of knowledge. In fact, real knowledge is known by the self. There is no doubt or confusion (illusion) in this knowledge, as it is infinite, perfect and eternal, while knowledge of senses and intellect is limited, imperfect and changeable, as such, there is doubt or confusion (illusion) in it. The sun, in spite of being large looks small, it means that knowledge of senses, is imperfect. Similarly, what is felt justified by the undeveloped intellect, may be unjustified, when intellect is developed or purified. Thus, knowledge gained by senses and mind, is limited and imperfect. This imperfect knowledge is called ignorance, while knowledge of the self, is perfect. In fact, the knowledge of senses and intellect is illumined, by knowledge of the self i.e., the former, comes into existence, by the latter. |
