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
