Śraddhā–Guṇa–Vibhāga Yoga (Faith and the Three Guṇas) — Mahābhārata Book 6, Chapter 39
अध्यात्मज्ञाननित्यत्वं तत्त्वज्ञानार्थदर्शनम् । एतऊउज्ञानमिति प्रोक्तमज्ञानं यदतोडन्यथा,अध्यातज्ञानमें नित्य स्थितिः और तत्त्वज्ञानके अर्थरूप परमात्माको ही देखना“--यह सब ज्ञान हैः और जो इससे विपरीत है, वह अज्ञान: है--ऐसा कहा है
adhyātma-jñāna-nityatvaṁ tattva-jñānārtha-darśanam | etaj jñānam iti proktam ajñānaṁ yad ato 'nyathā ||
アルジュナは言った。「霊的知(アーディヤートマ・ジュニャーナ)に常に堅く住し、真知の意味と究竟として至上の実在を観ずる見解——これが『知』と宣言される。これに反するものは『無知』と呼ばれる。」
अजुन उवाच
True knowledge is defined as steady commitment to spiritual (inner) understanding and the insight that recognizes the Supreme Reality as the ultimate meaning and aim of all true knowing; anything opposed to this orientation is ignorance.
In the Bhishma Parva’s battlefield discourse, Arjuna articulates a definition of ‘knowledge’ versus ‘ignorance’, emphasizing inner spiritual steadiness and direct insight into ultimate reality amid the moral crisis of war.
