The Yoga of Knowledge and Renunciation of Action

Krishna reveals the result of knowledge: 'na punar moham evaṁ yāsyasi' (you will not again fall into such delusion). Knowledge destroys confusion—when you understand the truth, you no longer see falsely. The phrase 'yena bhūtāny aśeṣeṇa drakṣyasy ātmany atho mayi' (through that knowledge, you will see all beings in your Self, then in Me) shows the expanding vision of knowledge: first you see unity in yourself (all beings in the Self), then you see unity in the divine (all beings in Me). This verse emphasizes that knowledge transforms perception—from seeing separation to seeing unity. When you gain true knowledge, delusion ends, and you see the oneness underlying all diversity. This verse concludes the section on knowledge, showing it as the highest form of sacrifice and the key to liberation.
