Sanskrit Verse

Adhyatma-jnana-nityatvam tattva-jnanartha-darshanam, etaj jnanam iti proktam ajnanam yad ato 'nyatha

Translation & Meaning

Constancy in self-knowledge, and philosophical pursuit of the Absolute Truth — all this is declared to be knowledge, and whatever is contrary to this is ignorance. True knowledge is the sustained inner quest for ultimate reality.

Key Teachings

  • Knowledge is defined by its orientation toward the Absolute
  • Anything detracting from self-realization is ignorance
  • Philosophical inquiry and self-study are inseparable from knowledge
