That which does not allow one to enter into agnan (worldly knowledge) is called Gnan [Knowledge of the Real Self, the Soul]. When agnan [worldly knowledge] begins to arise, Gnan becomes present and tells him, ‘This is that!
Circumstances will change but (True) Knowledge [Gnan] will not change.
Where there is competition, one cannot attain (true) 'Knowledge'.
We can never have Knowledge (Gnan) without worship (bhakti). Such knowledge would be considered shushka-gnan [unproductive knowledge]. It cannot be considered True Knowledge.
Worship without ‘Gnan’ [True Knowledge] will give material pleasures in the world and worship accompanied by ‘Gnan’ [True Knowledge] is known as ‘Gnan’ [True Knowledge] which gives the result of moksha [ultimate liberation].
You have to recognize the Knowledge of the Gnanis’ [the enlightened ones]. You have to recognize the world from the perspective of love (prem swaroop).
