Knowledge (Cont’d)
After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge
surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and
all that is. Such a great soul is very rare. - BG 7:19 -
Sometimes people are under the impression that the soul is differ-
ent from the body and that when the body is finished, or one is
liberated from the body, the soul remains in a void and becomes
impersonal. But actually that is not the fact. How can the soul,
which is so active within this body, be inactive after being liber-
ated from the body? It is always active. If it is eternal, then it is
eternally active, and its activities in the spiritual kingdom are the
most confidential part of spiritual knowledge. These activities of
the spirit soul are therefore indicated here as constituting the king
of all knowledge, the most confidential part of all knowledge.
- BG 9:2, purport -
To understand both the soul and the Supersoul as one yet distinct
is knowledge. - BG 13:3, purport -
