the human life and the world full of sorrow
and unrest without the knowledge of truth.
Gita teaches us :
f
711.)-1
"There is nothing more sacred than
knowledge in this world." Knowledge is light
and bliss. Ignorance is darkness and distress.
Nothing is clear and in its real form in the
dark. Everything is clear and in its real form
in the light. Ignorance leads to distress,
disease, worry, and dispute. More the
ignorance, more the man being involved in
desires, worldly matters and passions, making
his life a hell. Knowledge helps the man to
control himself and saves him from the
downfall. Therefore, it is called, `amrita' (elixir
of immortality). Whosoever took the amrita of
knowledge, became immortal. Knowledge of
truth entitles a man to salvation.
