Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Source: Radio Sai web site Today, we have so many fields of knowledge in the world. However, all these categories of knowledge do not constitute what is regarded as Jnana (spiritual wisdom) in Vedantic parlance. Atma Jnana alone is true knowledge. Ordinary knowledge constitutes knowledge of material objects acquired through sensory inputs and by investigation. But none of these can be Atma Jnana (knowledge of the Self). In the highest sense, Atma (the Spirit) and Jnana (Knowledge) are not different; they are one and the same. That is why the Upanishads declare: "Sathyam, Jnanam, Anantham Brahma" (Brahman is Truth, Wisdom and Infinitude); they are all different names for the same Paramatma (God).- Baba Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today16th August 2005 Start your day with - make it your home page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
