True Knowledge in the Bhagavad-Gītā: A Philosophical Perspective

In this research paper, I shall attempt to discuss the perspective of Bhagavad-gītā on true knowledge. The Bhagavad-gītā is one of the essential fundamental sources of Indian philosophical understanding and spiritual realization out of three basic sources. The knowledge of Bhagavad-gītā is the supreme wisdom and superior spiritual as well as the finest philosophical realization of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa. The wisdom of Bhagavad-gītā is revealed by the self-realized individual soul. Among the different species of life, human life is an excellent production of material nature. Human beings have the higher intelligence to understand the Absolute Truth through imperishable transcendental knowledge. Philosophical understanding of the field of activity and knower of the field of activity have constituted the true knowledge in the human intellectual and advanced human civilization. Knowledge is the intellectual power and spiritual enlightenment of human beings. The material nature is temporary and constituted by the three unseen strands. Individual souls are apart from the material universe. Instead of it, they are inseparable eternal part and parcel of the Supreme Eternal Spiritual Reality. Everything is emanating from the Absolute Truth and the Absolute Truth is realized by the different transcendentalists in three different features. As far as Bhagavad-gītā is concerned, the Absolute Truth is the Supreme Personality of the Godhead, Kṛṣṇa who has existed with the transcendental body of the Consciousness-Existence-Blissful eternally. Nothing comes from the void; everything comes from the Supreme Spiritual Perfect Eternal Personal Being.
