Chapter 13 • Verse 12

अध्यात्मज्ञाननित्यत्वं तत्त्वज्ञानार्थदर्शनम्। एतज्ज्ञानमिति प्रोक्तमज्ञानं यदतोऽन्यथा॥

adhyātma-jñāna-nityatvaṁ tattva-jñānārtha-darśhanam etaj jñānam iti proktam ajñānaṁ yad ato 'nyathā

Meaning

...constancy in self-knowledge, perception of the purpose of true knowledge — this is declared to be knowledge. What is contrary to this is ignorance.

The list concludes: constant engagement in self-knowledge and understanding wisdom's goal (liberation). All these qualities together constitute true knowledge (jnana); their absence is ignorance (ajnana).

Strength Reflection

"I am constantly engaged in self-knowledge, understanding that this leads to liberation."

Devotional Surrender

O Lord, establish me in true knowledge and remove all ignorance.
