II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

म्हणोनि असो हें न घडे I तें विचारितांचि असंगडें I पुढती ज्ञानाचेनि पाडें I पवित्रन दिसे II 177 II
एथ ज्ञान हें उत्तम होये I आणिकही एक तैसें कें आहे I जैसें चैतन्य कां नोहे I दुसरें गा II 178 II 
या महातेजाचेनि कसें I जरी चोखाळु प्रतिबिंब दिसे I कां गिंवसिलें गिंवसे I आकाश हें II 179 II
ना तरी पृथ्वीचेनि पाडें I कांटाळें जरी जोडे I तरी उपमा ज्ञानीं घडे I पांडुकुमरा II 180 II
म्हणूनि बहुतीं परीं पाहतां I पुढतीपुढती निर्धारितां I हे ज्ञानाची पवित्रता I ज्ञानींचि आथि II 181 II
जैसी अमृताची चवी निवडिजे I तरी अमृताचीसारिखी म्हणिजे I तैसें ज्ञान हें उपमिजे I ज्ञानेंसींचि II 182 II
आतां यावरी जें बोलणें I तें वायांचि वेळु फेडणें I तंव तें साचचि हें पार्थु म्हणे I जें बोलत असां II 183 II
परि तेंचि ज्ञान केवीं जाणावें I ऐसें अर्जुनें जंव पुसावें I तंव तें मनोगत देवें I जाणितलें II 184 II
मग म्हणतसे किरीटी I आतां चित्त देयीं इये गोठी I सांगेन ज्ञानाचिये भेटी I उपावो तुज II 185 II

"It will be improper to say that this KNOWLEDGE will fail to remove the ignorance of the mind. There is nothing in the world more auspicious than this KNOWLEDGE. This KNOWLEDGE is like the
 pure consciousness" or "awareness," signifying the essential nature of Brahman, the ultimate reality, which is considered to be the underlying, ever-present consciousness behind everything in existence. To grasp the greatness of this KNOWLEDGE with the mundane thinking will be like gauging the radiance of the sun by its reflection in water or grabbing the sky by hand or finding the means to gauge the weight of the earth. And therefore Arjun said Lord Krishna, this KNOWLEDGE is one of its kind, just like the taste of the divine nectar Amrut. They are unparalleled. Lord Krishna said it will be a waste of time to add further. What you are saying is right, said Arjun. But then tell me how to recognize this KNOWLEDGE? Let me enlighten you about it said Lord Krishna."
