Annual lectures on the Bhagavad Gita by Sunandaji
View(s):The message of the Bhagavad Gita is eternal, universal and scientific. The Gita presents the fundamental principles of life applicable to all, irrespective of caste, creed, religion, race, gender or age to enable one to live a dynamic life with peace of mind leading oneself to the ultimate human perfection of self-realisation.
Chapter VII of the Gita is entitled ‘The Yoga of Knowledge and Wisdom’. It explains the difference between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is the information gained from external sources – teachers, text books, internet etc. One may have knowledge but if one lacks wisdom, one will not be able to apply the knowledge in life.
The knowledge gained can be converted into wisdom through the process of reflection, called manana in the Sanskrit language. Reflection is a systematic process of thinking – analysing the subject matter from various angles, understanding the pros and cons and coming to a firm intellectual conclusion. This chapter of the Gita enunciates the technique of gaining knowledge as well as wisdom.
