Educational Q&A

Knowledge is not gained by intellect alone: it arises in a person who has śraddhā (trusting commitment), is devoted to the discipline and its goal (tat-paraḥ), and restrains the senses (saṁyatendriyaḥ). Such knowledge quickly matures into the highest peace—liberating realization.

In the midst of the Kurukṣetra discourse, this verse states the qualifications and result of spiritual knowledge: faith, focused dedication, and sense-control lead to jñāna, and jñāna leads swiftly to supreme peace.
