ज्ञान

"In this world there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Such knowledge is the mature fruit of all mysticism — and he who has achieved it enjoys the self within himself."

Knowledge is the final purifier — not ritual, not austerity, but direct seeing.

"Even if you are the most sinful of all sinners, you will cross the ocean of misery by the boat of transcendental knowledge."

Jnana is unconditional — past and guilt cannot hold what has been seen.

"But when one is enlightened with the knowledge by which ignorance is destroyed, then his knowledge reveals everything, as the sun illumines everything in the daytime."

A beautiful image: knowledge doesn't add something new — it removes the covering.

"I shall now declare unto you in full this knowledge and realisation. When this is known, nothing further shall remain to be known."

The boldest claim in scripture: a completeness where questioning ends.

"After many births and deaths, one who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto me, knowing that I am the cause of all causes. Such a great soul is very rare."

Jnana is not quick — it ripens across lifetimes, and at last dissolves the knower into the known.

"You should understand that I am also the knower in all bodies. To understand this body and its knower is called knowledge."

The deepest jnana teaching: distinguishing the witnessed body from the witnessing consciousness.
