This shalt thou learn by prostrating thyself at the Master’s feet, by questioning Him and by
serving Him. The wise who have realised the Truth will teach thee wisdom.


Having known That, thou shalt never again be confounded; and, O Arjuna, by the power
of that wisdom, thou shalt see all these people as if they were thine own Self, and therefore
as Me.


Be thou the greatest of sinners, yet thou shalt cross over all sin by the ferryboat of wisdom.


As the kindled fire consumes the fuel, so, O Arjuna, in the flame of wisdom the embers of
action are burnt to ashes.


There is nothing in the world so purifying as wisdom; and he who is a perfect saint finds
that at last in his own Self.


He who is full of faith attains wisdom, and he too who can control his senses, having
attained that wisdom, he shall ere long attain Supreme Peace.


But the ignorant man, and he who has no faith, and the sceptic are lost. Neither in this
world nor elsewhere is there any happiness in store for him who always doubts.


But the man who has renounced his action for meditation, who has cleft his doubt in twain
by the sword of wisdom, who remains always enthroned in his Self, is not bound by his
acts.


Therefore, cleaving asunder with the sword of wisdom the doubts of the heart, which
thine own ignorance has engendered, follow the Path of Wisdom and arise!”


Thus, in the Holy Book the Bhagavad Gita, one of the Upanishads, in the Science of the Supreme
Spirit, in the Art of Self-Knowledge, in the colloquy between the Divine Lord Shri Krishna and the
Prince Arjuna, stands the fourth chapter entitled: Dnyana-Yoga or the Path of Wisdom.
