So in this class on the Bhagavad Gita, we were on the sixth chapter.

And this chapter is about meditation, Dhyana yoga.

Now in the last two verses, which are very inspiring, very soaring,aring lofty lofty goal

Guyanavigana triptatma the ninth verse spoke about one is fulfilled completely

fulfilled by by Guyanah and Vigiana it depends on how you translate them. The conventional,

the traditional translation is gana would be the knowledge that we have acquired by shravana and

manana, what we have been doing all this time. Once you get clarity and conviction,

so that's knowledge. But that has to become a living reality, Vigiana, where there's no

doubt and where you can actually express it in life. You can live it in life. You can use that

knowledge. It overcomes suffering. It gives you deep fulfillment. That is called Vigiana. So

Shastra Giana and Anubhava, the knowledge arising out of

scriptural study and inquiry. And it's not just reading or attending a few classes, but a mastery

over it. And followed by Anubhava, which is realization or experience. That's one interpretation.

The other interpretation is,

gai-itself means that realization.

You are enlightened.

You realize aham Brahmasmi.

And Vigana would be a deeper realization

where you find the imminence of the divine

in everything that you experience. With eyes closed and eyes open, you experience the imminence of the divine in everything that you experience.
